Our Process for Smooth, Perfect Walls

Wall smoothing is a methodical process we carry out in 4 steps to ensure maximum quality. First, preparation and protection (approx. 2-4 hours): We cover floors, furniture, and sensitive items with plastic sheeting and masking tape to prevent any splashes or damage. We remove elements that might obstruct, such as light switches. Second, texture removal (approx. 6-12 hours per room): If 'gotelé' is present, we scrape it off or apply specific products to soften and remove it. Cracks are slightly widened and cleaned for better adhesion of the filler material. Third, application of levelling compound (approx. 8-16 hours per room): We apply one or more layers of special smoothing plaster or compound, spreading it uniformly with spatulas and trowels. We allow adequate drying time between coats, depending on environmental conditions. Fourth, sanding and final cleaning (approx. 3-6 hours per room): Once the compound is dry, we sand the entire surface with fine-grit sandpaper (P120-P240) for a perfectly smooth, blemish-free finish. We remove the generated dust and leave the area ready for primer and paint. The total time varies based on room size and the initial condition of the walls.

When Do You Need to Smooth Your Walls?

Wall smoothing is essential in several situations to ensure an optimal painting finish. If your walls have the old, unsightly 'gotelé' texture, our service will leave them smooth and modern. Cracks, caused by building settlement or impacts, are also a clear sign that intervention is needed to unify the surface. In cases of dampness or previous repairs that have left marks or irregularities, smoothing restores uniformity. Even if you're seeking a radical style change and want to move from a rough texture to a smooth, minimalist finish, our team in Sant Gervasi - Galvany is your solution. Finally, if the existing paint is peeling or deteriorated, smoothing the wall before repainting ensures perfect adhesion and a long-lasting result.

Trusted Materials and Brands

To guarantee a durable, high-quality wall smoothing service in Sant Gervasi - Galvany, we use selected materials from reputable brands. We employ joint compounds and coatings from brands like Pladur (for specific areas or repairs), Knauf (known for its high-resistance and easy-to-apply compounds), and Semin (offering versatile solutions for various finishes). Base materials include plaster of Paris, acrylic filler, or polyester putty, chosen according to the surface and desired finish. For preparation, we use fibreglass or paper joint tape, and for sanding, fine-grit sandpaper (P120-P240) for a silky finish. Protection is achieved with polyethylene sheeting and high-adhesion masking tape. The combination of these materials ensures a uniform, resistant result ready to receive any type of paint.

Factors Influencing the Price

The cost of wall smoothing and subsequent painting services in Sant Gervasi - Galvany can vary significantly, reflecting the complexity and scope of the work. The quote is adjusted based on the total surface area to be treated, the current condition of the walls (presence of 'gotelé', cracks, dampness, or previous repairs), the type of levelling compound required, and the desired final finish. Ceiling height and the need for scaffolding or access platforms also influence the price. Our service includes labour, materials (compounds, sandpaper, tape, protective coverings), and post-job cleaning. The final price, ranging from €114 to €2875, is detailed in a clear, transparent quote, ensuring a fair investment for an impeccable result.

Frequently asked questions

Approximately how long does the wall smoothing process take for one room?
The total time to smooth and prepare a medium-sized room (approx. 12-15 m²) typically ranges from 2 to 4 working days. This timeframe includes preparation, texture removal, application of necessary levelling compound layers, drying time between coats, and final sanding. Factors like ambient humidity or wall complexity can slightly affect the duration.
Is it necessary to paint immediately after smoothing the walls?
It's not strictly necessary, but it is recommended. Once sanded and cleaned, the walls are ready for a primer coat, which improves paint adhesion and ensures a more uniform colour. You can paint the next day or wait a few days. The key is that the surface must be completely dry and dust-free before applying paint.
What types of imperfections can be corrected with wall smoothing?
Wall smoothing is ideal for removing 'gotelé' texture, filling superficial and deep cracks (as long as they are not structural), concealing drywall joints, correcting irregularities from impacts or previous repairs, and levelling rough or textured surfaces. Essentially, any imperfection preventing a smooth, uniform finish.
Does the service include 'gotelé' removal?
Yes, 'gotelé' removal is a fundamental part of the wall smoothing service if it is present. We assess the best technique for its removal (manual scraping, applying specific products) and proceed with its complete elimination before applying levelling compound layers to achieve a smooth surface.
What warranty do you offer on your smoothing and painting work?
We offer a satisfaction guarantee on all our wall smoothing and painting work. We cover potential application defects or faulty materials for a period of two years, in accordance with current legislation. We want our clients in Sant Gervasi - Galvany to be completely confident in the result.
Can wall smoothing be done on walls with dampness?
It depends on the type and cause of the dampness. If the dampness is minor and has been treated, we can smooth the area once it's dry. If the dampness is persistent or structural, it is essential to first address the root cause before proceeding with smoothing, as the problem will reappear otherwise. We offer advice on this matter.
