We do wall skimming in Centre (Mataró). We visit the property, assess the job, give you a clear price, and then start the work. There are four types of damp we commonly see on the Costa Blanca, each with distinct causes, diagnoses, and treatments. Confusing them inevitably leads to ineffective treatments and wasted money. That's why we always start with a diagnostic technical visit before providing any quotes. The difference between treating damp well or poorly changes the durability of the result from five years to six months.

How we work

Treatment requires intervening at the origin of the water, not just the interior symptom. If the roof is degraded, the entire waterproofing system must be renewed with new asphalt felt or a sprayed liquid polyurethane system. If the facade has structural cracks, they are sealed with elastic caulk and repainted with specific facade paint that covers micro-cracks. Only after ensuring exterior watertightness do we repair the interior wall. Chemical injection, exterior waterproofing, breathable coating or ventilation according to diagnosis.

When to call for wall skimming in Centre (Mataró)

This is damp that rises from the ground through walls due to capillary action of porous materials. It manifests as a damp patch on the ground floor up to one metre high from the floor, often with white efflorescence (salts that crystallise as water evaporates). It is typical in old ground-floor homes, especially in areas with a high water table near the sea. Formal guarantee on the treatment. If the damp reappears in the same spot, we return. The most common mistake with damp is repainting the affected wall. It works for the first month and then the damp reappears, worse than before. Now the new paint creates a barrier that traps water inside the wall. Damp is not cured by painting. It is cured by identifying the source of the water and cutting it off at its point of entry. Only then do we repair the wall with the appropriate technique and repaint it.

Materials and brands

Certainly. Quality plastic sheeting, painter's tape, foam board depending on the surface. Everything will be clean and vacuumed upon completion. Many people say painting is easy. It's true, anyone can pick up a roller. The difference between an amateur and a professional result lies in the preliminary and post-painting steps that amateurs skip. Covering furniture, floors, and skirting boards with quality plastic. Applying precise painter's tape on edges and corners. Filling small holes and cracks with specific filler before painting, not afterwards. Sanding between coats for a perfect finish. Applying primer when the wall requires it. Removing the tape before the paint is completely dry. These details separate paintwork that lasts 8-10 years from one that looks neglected after a month.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a painter take to come to Gran Alacant?
As the urbanisation is very close to Santa Pola and Elche, our painters usually confirm availability in less than 2 hours. For non-urgent jobs, the quote visit is typically scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, including areas like Monte y Mar.
How do I know the price will be as agreed?
Before starting, you'll receive a fixed written quote covering materials, labour, and timelines. If something unforeseen arises during the work, you'll be informed and it will be approved before execution; it's never added to the invoice afterwards.
Are the painters registered and insured?
All Manitas professionals undergo a prior verification that includes registration as self-employed or a company and civil liability insurance. This way, both your home and the common areas of the community are covered while we carry out the work.
Do you attend to emergencies or weekend jobs?
We handle emergencies related to damp, leaks that have stained ceilings, or jobs prior to a key handover. We have painters who work on Saturdays and, in specific cases, also on Sundays, by prior time coordination.
