We install skirting boards and mouldings in Les Corts. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and then begin. The second critical step is the moisture barrier. On ground floors or over damp screeds, a polyethylene sheet must be laid before the acoustic membrane. Without a barrier, moisture rises, swells the flooring from below, and after 6-12 months, undulations appear that can no longer be removed.

How we work

The most critical step is subfloor preparation. Floating floors require a subfloor with a maximum deviation of 3 mm over a 2-meter straightedge. If the subfloor has greater deviations, it must be levelled with self-levelling screed before starting. Without this levelling, the tongue-and-groove joints progressively separate, and visible gaps appear between boards after a few months of use. For areas of very intensive use (entrances, hallways, stairs with continuous traffic), we do not recommend using floating floors because their concentrated intensive use deteriorates the top layer faster than in residential areas. For these areas, porcelain stoneware or natural stone lasts much longer. The choice between different types of wood or wood-effect flooring depends on three main factors: budget, intended use, and desired aesthetics. AC4 laminated floating flooring, which is what we sell most today, combines very good value for money with resistance to intensive use. It consists of a top layer of melamine with a realistic wood effect (high durability against abrasion), a high-density fibreboard core, and a balancing bottom layer. The top layer has an AC4 classification (suitable for intensive domestic use or moderate commercial use) and withstands 25,000 abrasive cycles without visible wear. For standard domestic use, it lasts 15-25 years with a good appearance. Its drawback is that although it is visually very realistic, it is not natural wood and cannot be re-sanded and re-varnished if it gets damaged at some point.

When to call for skirting boards and mouldings in Les Corts

We check the flatness, humidity, and level of the subfloor before proposing the type of flooring. Self-levelling compound or regulating membrane, acoustic underlay, and moisture barrier. We install floating floors, parquet, and vinyl flooring, as well as sanding and varnishing old floors. We replace moisture-swollen planks and deteriorated skirting boards to leave the floor uniform.

Materials and brands

Flooring with official manufacturer's warranty (10-25 years) plus our installation coverage. No, we choose the product compatible with each material (stoneware, marble, microcement, parquet) after a prior assessment. This is precisely what prevents scratching or clouding new surfaces. 10-15 years official manufacturer's warranty on standard AC4 floating floors. 25 years on premium ranges. Plus 30 days our installation coverage.

Indicative pricing

The price for skirting boards and mouldings in Les Corts typically ranges between €110 and €1940. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Solid parquet is the traditional option. Each board is 100% solid natural wood, typically oak, ash, or walnut. Much more expensive to purchase and install, but it gives unique character to the room because each board has a distinct natural grain. Its significant advantage is indefinite durability. If it wears or gets damaged, it can be re-sanded and re-varnished multiple times throughout its life. This is what was installed in old high-end apartments and what we recommend for premium home renovations where the budget allows. The result is a home ready to move into or to hand over to a tenant or buyer, with no dust reappearing after two days and no residue on windows and taps. We carry out a free prior assessment to give you a fixed price based on the square footage and condition. A construction project leaves more residue than a simple paint job. All work comes with a 30-day guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

## Do you recognise any of these symptoms?
- ●Have you just renovated or moved into a new build and there is plaster dust everywhere?
How long does a post-construction cleaning take?
A standard 70-90 m² apartment usually takes between half a day and a full day, depending on the condition and amount of debris. A comprehensive renovation takes longer than a repaint.
Why does dust reappear after cleaning?
Construction dust is very fine and remains suspended. That's why we do several passes from top to bottom and leave the floors for last, so it doesn't reappear after two days.
Do you remove paint and silicone residue from windows?
Yes, with the appropriate scraper and compatible solvent to avoid scratching the glass. We also remove labels and protectors from taps and sanitary ware.
Can it damage my new floors or finishes?
No, we choose the product compatible with each material (stoneware, marble, microcement, parquet) after a prior assessment. This is precisely what prevents scratching or clouding new surfaces.
Do you provide a fixed price?
Yes, after a free prior assessment based on the size and condition. A construction project that leaves a lot of dust and cement costs more than a light renovation.
