Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We clean community buildings in Sant Andreu. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Properties on the seafront have specific problems requiring extra treatment. Saltpetre deposits on the wall and, with humidity, migrates inwards. When we paint over it, the salts continue their path and peel off the new paint within months. The solution is washing with specific chemical products before painting, neutralising, and applying a siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in.

How we work

We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the surface and creates a uniform base for the final paint to adhere to. Without the correct primer, the final paint may not adhere well and could peel off quickly. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints, but it has the biggest impact on durability. The third step is applying the final paint. For large facades, we use airless sprayers for a quick, uniform finish. For terraces and detailed areas, we use good quality rollers. We always apply two cross coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform coverage without brush marks.

When to call for cleaning community buildings in Sant Andreu

Seepage damp requires extra treatment. If water is entering from the roof, the roof must be repaired first. If it's rising damp from the ground, it requires chemical barrier injection. Painting over it without addressing the source is always a waste of money. Deep cleaning of the heating circuit water with a specific descaler to remove sludge and rust. This should be done every 7-10 years or when persistent cold spots occur. Periodic garden maintenance, which is the most requested service. One visit every one, two, or four weeks depending on the size and season, including lawn mowing, edge trimming, weed removal, light pruning of hedges and shrubs, leaf blowing, and removal of green waste. We adjust the frequency for spring when everything grows rapidly, and reduce it in mid-summer and winter.

Materials and brands

Procolor Termik, Tollens Aquastop, Bruguer Sol. Exterior-specific with UV filter. 8-10 year manufacturer's official warranty. Official manufacturer's warranty on the paint plus our labour coverage. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowish, peeling, or stained paint? It's not due to poor quality of the original paint. It's due to the harsh exposure conditions of the area. The Costa Blanca combines four factors that destroy standard exterior paints: Intense and constant sun, over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation. Marine saltpetre that deposits on surfaces near the coast. Rare but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that embeds itself in the pigments. An economical white paint resistant to UV would last three summers in these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with a reinforced UV filter lasts 8-10 years while looking good.

Indicative price

The price for cleaning community buildings in Sant Andreu typically ranges between €59 and €545. The final amount depends on the building's condition, materials, and working time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. The most common mistake is repainting a facade with interior paint or cheap large-surface exterior paint. It works the first year but visibly degrades by the second. It's essential to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, a quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between cheap and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than compensates.

Frequently asked questions

Is annual boiler maintenance mandatory?
Yes, for gas boilers in Spain, it is mandatory according to RITE regulations. The inspection includes combustion control, safety valve, and issuing an official certificate. Without it, the insurance company may refuse to cover incidents.
How much does it cost to replace a gas boiler?
€400 for an installed condensing boiler, depending on the brand, power, and necessary work. The replacement cost is usually recovered in 4-6 years due to gas savings.
What is aerothermal energy and is it worth it on the Costa Blanca?
It is a heat pump that produces heating, cooling, and domestic hot water with a single unit. It performs very well on the Costa Blanca due to the mild temperatures. High initial investment but substantial savings over 8-10 years.
Do you repair underfloor heating in old buildings?
We diagnose circuits with a thermal imaging camera, detect leaks without breaking the floor when possible, and repair the manifold or valves as needed.
Do you work with butane and propane?
Yes, butane and propane boilers are common in areas without natural gas connections. We have authorised technicians for all three types of gas.
Is the quote free?
Yes, free and without obligation. A prior visit for diagnosis and a proposal. If you don't accept, you don't pay anything.
