What we keep and what we renew
Older flats in areas such as Centre and Can Magarola often hide settlement cracks, reed-lath ceilings and wiring stapled along the wall surface. We assess each crack before covering it and remove damaged lath ceilings to fit a new one.
On the walls of older flats in areas such as Alella Parc, Can Sorts and Nova Alella we strip loose plaster back to a firm base, stitch cracks with mesh and replaster. Damaged cornices are repaired in plaster rather than replaced.
We have spent more than 20 years working in flats with history and know where to look before quoting. We also cover the surrounding areas: El Masnou, Teià and Tiana.

In many cases, yes. We assess it during the visit: if the tiles are sound they are cleaned, loose ones are relaid and the floor is polished; if not, they can be reused in a single room.
