Diagnosis before action. Formal guarantee on the treatment. If the damp returns to the same spot, we'll come back.

Replacing just the cylinder takes 30-45 minutes per door. The mechanical lock stays, and we replace only the inner cylinder where the key fits. The new key is completely different and won't work with the old one. It's the most economical option and what we recommend when the lock is good quality and in good condition. Replacing the whole lock costs more and is justified when the lock is old or low quality, and we want to take the opportunity to upgrade security. The job takes 60-90 minutes per door. When a customer calls us in an emergency (keys left inside, lost key, lock jammed), we first assess if non-destructive entry is possible. Most standard locks can be opened using professional techniques (lock picking, impressioning, pin manipulation) in 15-30 minutes without damaging the cylinder. This saves the customer the cost of replacing the entire cylinder. For high-end anti-bumping cylinders, non-destructive entry may not be possible, and the only solution is to drill the cylinder and replace it. This is more expensive but leaves the door as new with a new, reinforced security cylinder. Chemical injection, exterior waterproofing, breathable coating, or ventilation depending on diagnosis.

Full lock replacement or just the cylinder, depending on the case. Quality brand and new set of keys. 30 days on labour. Premium cylinders with official manufacturer warranty up to 10 years. For a property on the Costa Blanca with medium risk (housing estate with neighbours, not isolated), we recommend a medium-to-high quality anti-bumping cylinder. Brands like Tesa T80, Mottura Champions, or Cisa Astral are what we sell most. These cylinders have security pins that prevent the bumping technique, that sharp knock with a special key that opens any standard cylinder in under 60 seconds. They come with a registered security key, which cannot be copied at any hardware store without authorisation. They also have European certification EN1303, guaranteeing resistance to manipulation for years. Their cost is reasonable, and the improvement in actual security is huge.

The price for security grilles and gates in Barberà del Vallès typically ranges between €51 and €515. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake with damp is repainting the affected wall. It looks fine the first month, then the damp returns worse than before because the new paint creates a barrier that traps water in the wall. Damp isn't cured by paint. It's cured by identifying the water source and cutting it off at the entry point. Only then do we repair the wall using the appropriate technique and repaint. The treatment is chemical barrier injection. Small holes are drilled at the base of the wall at regular intervals, and a resin is injected which penetrates and forms a horizontal waterproof barrier. This barrier prevents water from continuing to rise by capillary action. Above this, the wall can be repaired and repainted with a breathable paint system. We guarantee the treatment for 5 years.
