If you manage a holiday let in Torrevieja, La Mata, or Punta Prima, you know that window well. The last summer client leaves, the first of the low season arrives. In between, you have six or seven actual days to repaint marked walls, touch up skirting boards, reseal yellowed bathroom silicone, and make the kitchen presentable for the next photo. We work in that format, small teams that go in, do what's necessary, and leave the same day or the next. Not for single pictures. Yes for heavy mounts or large arrangements to confirm feasibility and provide a fixed quote. Select the service you need to see more details and request a quote.

The optimal screen centre height is 1.10-1.20 metres from the floor when viewed from a sofa. For walkways or kitchens, 1.40-1.60 m. We measure this before marking. Matte and satin plastic paint for interiors, synthetic enamel for doors and skirting boards, textured 'gotelé' on old ceilings if the client wants to keep it, single-coat paint for exteriors and facades, and elastic coatings for walls with structural cracks. We work with professional brands like Procolor, Tollens, Bruguer, and Titan depending on the surface type. Saltpetre, especially on the seafront, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see under the render are salts that rise with moisture. Painting over it without treating the source is a waste of time and money; the new paint will peel off in 6-8 months. The correct process is to scrape it off, neutralise the salts with specific chemicals, and only then apply the paint system.

For small pictures up to 2 kilos, a hook or nail is sufficient on most walls except tiles and plasterboard. For medium pictures from 2 to 8 kilos, use a specific wall plug for the material with a 4-5 mm screw. For large pictures and mirrors up to 15 kilos, use a reinforced plug and a 6 mm screw. For LCD TV mounts up to 50 inches and a real weight of 25 kilos including the mount's weight, use two mounting points on metal studs or a pillar with 8 mm screws. Plasterboard (laminated plasterboard) is the modern material for ceilings and partitions in recent construction. It is very fragile without the correct plug. For light loads up to 5 kilos, a toggle bolt is enough. For medium loads, there are metal toggle bolts (like Molly bolts) that expand behind the board. For heavy loads, like large TVs, you need to locate the supporting metal studs behind the plasterboard with a detector and screw into the stud. The first mistake is using a standard wall drill bit on tiles. The tip slips, and the tile cracks. You need a ceramic drill bit with a diamond tip. The second mistake is using the hammer function on tiles. The vibrations crack the tile from the inside, and fine cracks appear weeks later. You must drill without percussion. The third mistake is not marking the centre well. A pencil mark on masking tape around the spot prevents the drill bit from slipping.

The price for plasterboard ceilings in El Carmel typically ranges between €176 and €2225. The final amount depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. If the fixing fails, we return at no cost to reinforce it. Plugs are calculated with a safety margin. Approximately 60-90 minutes, including arrangement, marking, drilling, fixing, and cleaning. We provide a fixed price for the job.
