Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We do painting for apartment blocks in El Gòtic. We visit the building, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. Yes, we use a specific paint system for damp walls: a salt-blocking primer and a breathable microporous paint that allows the wall to breathe.

How we work

We start with ceilings, light fixtures, air ducts, and the tops of wardrobes, where the finest dust collects. Then we move on to walls, doors, frames, skirting boards, radiators, and curtain tracks. Next comes interior and exterior carpentry, windows inside and out, taps, and sanitaryware. We finish with the floors, which are done last because they receive everything that falls during the process. A thorough vacuum, mopping with a neutral cleaner, and, if necessary, a second mop to remove the last traces of construction dust. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request a quote online — we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours. It depends on the linear metres of affected wall. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, with no obligation.

When to call for painting for apartment blocks in El Gòtic

Specific to properties on the seafront. Saltpetre settles on exterior walls and penetrates with moisture. It emerges as it evaporates, forming white or bluish patches that peel the paint from the inside. The treatment involves washing with specific chemicals, neutralising remaining salts with anti-efflorescence products, and applying a siloxane-based paint system that allows the wall to breathe without letting water in. This is dampness formed when indoor air, laden with vapour, comes into contact with a cold surface. It's typical in kitchens and bathrooms without adequate ventilation, and also in rooms facing north-facing exteriors that get colder in winter. It appears as water droplets on windows, cold corners of rooms, and black mould patches in cold areas of walls. This is moisture rising from the ground through walls due to the capillary action of porous materials. It manifests as a damp patch on the ground floor up to a metre from the floor, often with white efflorescence (salts that crystallise as the water evaporates). It's typical in old ground-floor properties, especially in areas with a high water table near the sea.

Materials and brands

The bungalows in La Herrada have repetitive installations, the same model of fuse box, water heater, and air conditioning in many homes. This reduces diagnostic time and allows us to carry the usual parts in stock. The most in-demand service is replacing electric water heaters at the end of their lifespan. The bungalows in La Herrada were built between the 90s and 2000s with 100 or 150-litre water heaters that are now exhausted after twenty or twenty-five years of use with hard water. We replace them with new models from quality brands like Junkers, Cointra, Edesa, with a sacrificial anode to extend their service life. This is a half-day job per unit. Technically, this means we work almost exclusively on bungalows with similar installations. The same model of electrical fuse box is repeated in dozens of homes, the same type of electric water heater installed by the original developer, the same air conditioning from the 2000s now in its second life. For an electrician or plumber, this is a huge advantage: diagnosis is faster, and common parts are carried in stock. The total intervention time per fault is reduced.

Indicative pricing

The price for painting apartment blocks in El Gòtic typically ranges between €144 and €2925. The final amount depends on the condition of the property, materials, and working time.

Frequently asked questions

How to distinguish between rising damp and leakage?
Capillarity: a damp patch rises from the floor up to a metre high, leaving white efflorescence. Leakage: a damp patch descends from the ceiling or high corners, coinciding with rain.
How much does chemical injection cost?
It depends on the linear metres of affected wall. We provide a fixed quote after a diagnostic visit, with no obligation.
How long does the treatment last?
We guarantee chemical injection for 5 years in writing. In reality, it lasts 15-20 years or more if the treatment is done correctly and no new source appears.
Do I need to empty the room?
For chemical injection and interior wall repair, yes, at least move furniture away from the affected wall. We use protective sheeting to minimise dust.
Do you paint with breathable products?
Yes, we use a specific paint system for damp walls: a salt-blocking primer and a breathable microporous paint that allows the wall to breathe.
