Verified handyman network in Barcelona

We install plasterboard ceilings in El Raval. We visit the property, assess the work, give you a clear price, and start. We use matt and satin plastic paint indoors, synthetic enamel on doors and skirting boards, 'gotelé' (stippled) finish on old ceilings if the client wants to keep it, single-layer 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.

How we work

If you manage a holiday rental flat in Torrevieja, La Mata, or Punta Prima, you're familiar with that window. The last summer guest leaves, the first off-season guest arrives. In between, you have six or seven real days to repaint marked walls, touch up skirting boards, seal yellowed bathroom silicones, and get the kitchen presentable for the next photo. We work in this format, small teams that come in, do what's necessary, and leave the same day or the next. Not for individual pictures. Yes for heavy mounts or large compositions to confirm feasibility and provide a fixed quote. Call us, write to us on WhatsApp or request your quote online — we will reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours.

When to call for plasterboard ceilings in El Raval

Damp treatment is a separate chapter. The Costa Blanca has serious problems with rising damp on ground floors and filtration on flat roofs. We apply waterproofing mortars, barrier injections against rising damp, and breathable coatings that allow the wall to breathe without the paint flaking. Saltpetre, especially on the beachfront, penetrates exterior walls. The white efflorescence you see beneath the coating 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 in 6-8 months. The correct process is to descale, neutralise the salts with specific chemicals, and only then apply the paint system. Poorly installed articulated mounts are the primary cause of fallen TVs in homes. The articulated arm multiplies the leverage effect when the TV tilts or swivels. If the wall anchor is marginal, the actual weight exerted on the fixing can triple at maximum extension. That's why we always look for metal framing behind the plasterboard or a concrete pillar. We never anchor an articulated arm only to plasterboard or cavity brick.

Plasterboard (laminated plasterboard) is the modern material for ceilings and partitions in recent constructions. It is very fragile without the correct plug. For light loads up to 5 kg, a toggle nail is sufficient. For medium loads, there are metal plasterboard anchors like Molly bolts that expand behind the board. For heavy loads like large TVs, you need to locate the supporting metal frame behind the plasterboard with a detector and screw into the frame. For small pictures up to 2 kg, a picture hook or a nail is sufficient for most walls, except tiles and plasterboard. For medium pictures from 2 to 8 kg, a specific rawlplug for the material with a 4-5 mm screw. For large pictures and mirrors up to 15 kg, a reinforced rawlplug and a 6 mm screw. For LCD TV mounts up to 50 inches and a real weight of 25 kg including the mount, two anchoring points to the framing or pillar with an 8 mm screw.
