We do insulation in Sant Gervasi - Galvany. We visit the property, inspect the work, provide a clear price, and then start. Motorisation requires electrical power to the top box. If the box wall already has an electrical cable nearby (typically from the room's adjacent socket), installation is straightforward. If not, a cable must be run via external trunking or concealed channeling. 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.

How we work

Call us, write to us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online — we'll respond in less than 10 minutes during business hours. The electrical check includes nominal compressor consumption at start-up and during operation, wiring insulation check, condition of the start capacitors (which degrade after the seventh or eighth year), and thermostat verification. The final disinfection with certified air conditioning product eliminates bacteria, fungi, and odours accumulated in the coil. This is what prevents the characteristic damp smell when you start the air conditioning after winter.

When to call for insulation in Sant Gervasi - Galvany

Changing the blind tape 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 tape, passing the new one through the slats and the collector. Then reassembling the entire unit without misaligning the slats. For someone who has never done it, a 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. A highly requested improvement today is to combine a motorised blind with a roll-up mosquito net integrated into the same box. This allows both the blind and the mosquito net to be operated independently, both concealed when not in use. It is the standard solution in modern new construction. For renovations of existing homes, it requires replacing the entire box with a new, deeper one that houses both systems. Yes, for large ones, on high floors, or if there are mobility difficulties. 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 direct sunlight), repairing them point by point is no longer economically sensible. Replacing the entire blind with a modern model costs two to three times more than just changing the tape. In return, it gives you another 25-30 years without problems. Modern slats are injected and filled with polyurethane, much more insulating than the old hollow ones, thus improving thermal insulation. And you can order integrated motorisation from the factory. 30 days on the repair. Somfy motors with official manufacturer's warranty of 5 years. 5-7 years official manufacturer's warranty depending on the brand (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Bosch, Vaillant). Plus our 30-day coverage on labour and recommended annual revisions.

Frequently asked questions

Can a door be adjusted without planing down wood?
If the hinges are modern adjustable ones, yes. If they are old non-adjustable ones, you need to plane down 1-2 mm or replace them with adjustable models.
How long does it take to repair a roller blind?
Cleaning and lubricating guides: 30-45 min per blind. Changing the tape: an extra 30-45 min if the box is normally accessible.
Why does air come through the closed window?
Misaligned seals or degraded gaskets. We adjust plates and replace gaskets if necessary. Improves insulation and reduces your bill.
Do you work with modern tilt-and-turn windows?
Yes, we regulate the tilt-and-turn system, lubricate fittings, 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 DM or multi-layered door that doesn't move. A solid wood door will always have that seasonal cycle even if varnished.
