We do insulation in El Baix Guinardó. We visit the property, assess the work, provide a clear price, and get started. A highly requested improvement today is combining a motorised roller blind with a retractable mosquito net integrated into the same box. This allows both the blind and the mosquito net to operate independently, both hidden when not in use. It's the standard solution in modern new builds. For existing home renovations, it requires replacing the entire box with a new, deeper one that accommodates both systems.

How we work

Call us, write to us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours. The electrical inspection includes the nominal current consumption of the compressor at startup and during operation, checking cabling insulation, the condition of the starting capacitors (which degrade after the seventh or eighth year), and thermostat verification. The final disinfection with a certified product for air conditioning eliminates bacteria, fungi, and odours accumulated in the coil. This is what prevents the characteristic musty smell when you start the air conditioning after winter. Yes, but first we locate the leak. Recharging without repairing is illegal and a temporary fix. If there's a leak, we repair it first, then recharge.

When to call for insulation in El Baix Guinardó

Replacing a roller blind strap itself is a 30-45 minute operation per blind when the box is accessible. The real complexity lies in locating the internal break, opening the box without damaging it, removing the axle, taking out the old strap, feeding the new one through the slats and the winder. Then reassembling the entire unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, one blind can take three hours and end up worse than before. For technicians who do it daily, it's a 30-minute job with a clean result. Motorisation requires electrical power to the top box. If the wall of the box already has electrical wiring nearby (typically from the nearest power outlet in the room), installation is straightforward. Otherwise, cables must be run through an external conduit or a hidden chase. The complete motorisation operation takes 2-3 hours per blind when power is nearby. For all blinds in an entire house, we can do it in 1-2 days. Yes, when they are large, on high floors, or if there is limited mobility. The investment pays off in comfort within one season.

Materials and brands

If the blind slats are cracked, discoloured, and brittle (typical for blinds over 25-30 years old exposed to the sun outdoors), repairing them point by point becomes uneconomical. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs two to three times more than just changing the strap. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years of trouble-free use. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much better insulated than the old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can request integrated motorisation from the factory. 30 days guarantee on the repair. Somfy motors come with a 5-year official manufacturer's warranty. 5-7 years official manufacturer's warranty depending on the brand (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Bosch, Vaillant). Plus our 30-day labour coverage and recommended annual inspections.

Frequently asked questions

Can a door be adjusted without trimming wood?
If the hinges are modern adjustable ones, yes. If they are old, non-adjustable, you'll need to shave off 1-2 mm or replace them with adjustable models.
How long does it take to repair a roller blind?
Cleaning and lubrication of guides: 30-45 min per blind. Strap replacement: an additional 30-45 min if the box is normally accessible.
Why is air coming through the closed window?
Misaligned seals or degraded gaskets. We adjust plates and replace gaskets if necessary. This improves insulation and reduces your bill.
Do you work with modern tilt-and-turn windows?
Yes, we adjust the tilt-and-turn system, lubricate hardware, and replace handles or parts if damaged. We recommend maintenance every 2-3 years.
Can a door that swells in summer be permanently fixed?
Only by replacing it with a MDF or multi-layered door that doesn't swell. Solid wood doors will always exhibit this seasonal cycle even if varnished.
