Our Meticulous Wall Smoothing Process

Our wall smoothing service is a systematic process designed to deliver impeccable results, typically completed within 1 to 3 days for an average room, depending on the initial wall condition.

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment & Preparation (2-4 hours)

    We begin by thoroughly inspecting the walls, identifying areas with gotelé, cracks, or other damage. Furniture is moved and protected, and floors are covered with heavy-duty sheeting. Loose paint or plaster is scraped away to ensure a stable base.

  2. 2

    Rough Smoothing & Repair (4-12 hours)

    A first layer of specialised smoothing compound is applied to fill major imperfections and begin levelling the surface. Deeper cracks are repaired with appropriate fillers. This stage is critical for establishing a consistent foundation.

  3. 3

    Fine Smoothing & Sanding (4-10 hours)

    Once the initial layer is dry, subsequent thinner layers of a finer smoothing compound are applied. Each layer is meticulously sanded using professional dust-extraction sanders to achieve a perfectly flat and smooth surface. This step is repeated until the desired finish is attained.

  4. 4

    Final Inspection & Priming (2-4 hours)

    After final sanding and thorough dust removal, the walls undergo a rigorous inspection to ensure absolute smoothness. A high-quality primer is then applied, which seals the surface, improves paint adhesion, and guarantees an even colour absorption for the subsequent paint layers.

When is Wall Smoothing Essential?

Consider professional wall smoothing when you notice any of the following issues on your interior walls. Ignoring these can compromise the final look and durability of any new paint application.

  • Textured Finishes

    If your walls currently feature gotelé or other outdated textured finishes, smoothing is crucial for a contemporary aesthetic. These textures can trap dust and make cleaning difficult, besides dating the property's appearance.

  • Cracks and Imperfections

    Fine hairline cracks, minor dents, or uneven patches from previous repairs are common. Smoothing addresses these issues comprehensively, creating a uniform substrate for painting.

  • Poor Previous Paintwork

    Sometimes, older paint layers might be peeling, flaking, or show brush marks. A thorough smoothing process removes these defects, providing a clean canvas for a high-quality repaint.

  • Preparing for High-Gloss Finishes

    If you plan to apply a high-gloss or satin paint, wall smoothing is non-negotiable. These finishes highlight every imperfection, making a perfectly smooth base absolutely vital for a premium result.

Quality Materials for Durable Wall Finishes

The longevity and finish quality of 'alisado de paredes' depend heavily on the materials used. We exclusively employ professional-grade products designed for superior adhesion, durability, and a flawless finish. For smoothing compounds, we often rely on brands like Beissier and Aguaplast, renowned for their excellent workability and smooth application. These products are formulated to be easy to sand, creating a perfectly even surface. Key materials include:

  • Levelling Plasters: High-solids compounds used to fill significant irregularities and build up surfaces.
  • Fine Smoothing Pastes: Ultra-fine grain fillers designed for achieving a silky-smooth finish, eliminating minor imperfections.
  • Crack Fillers: Flexible, high-adhesion materials specifically for repairing structural and hairline cracks, preventing their reappearance.
  • Universal Primers: Essential for sealing porous surfaces, ensuring uniform paint absorption, and promoting strong adhesion of the final paint layers. We frequently use Valentine or Titanlux primers for their proven performance and compatibility with various topcoats.

Understanding Wall Smoothing Service Costs

The cost for professional 'alisado de paredes' in Vallbona typically ranges from €114 to €2,875, with a median project cost around €1,495. This wide range reflects several factors. The primary determinant is the current condition of your walls; removing extensive gotelé or repairing numerous deep cracks will naturally incur higher costs due to increased labour and material requirements. The total surface area to be smoothed is also a significant factor, as larger rooms require more time and product. Our pricing includes all necessary materials, thorough surface preparation, multiple layers of smoothing compound, meticulous sanding, and a final priming coat, ensuring a ready-to-paint surface. We provide transparent, detailed quotes upfront, with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect for your project.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the wall smoothing process usually take for a standard room?
For an average-sized room (e.g., 15-20m²), the complete wall smoothing process, including preparation, multiple compound applications, and sanding, typically takes between 1 to 3 days. This duration can vary based on the initial wall condition and the desired level of finish.
Is there a lot of dust generated during the wall smoothing and sanding stages?
We utilise professional sanding equipment equipped with integrated dust extraction systems. While some dust is unavoidable, our methods significantly minimise airborne particles, and we take extensive measures to protect your furniture and flooring throughout the process.
Can you smooth walls that have existing wallpaper or other coverings?
Yes, but the wallpaper or any other covering must first be completely removed. We can undertake this removal as part of the preparation phase. The underlying wall surface is then assessed and smoothed to ensure a perfect base.
