Smooth walls in Ciutat Vella: our approach to gotelé
In older flats in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval gotelé often hides plaster walls with chips and cracks. When removing it we repair that damage with mesh and filler before skimming, so the finished wall is sound.
In areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera we finish with a coat of sealer, which evens out the filler's absorption, and two coats of emulsion. Sockets and switch plates are removed beforehand and refitted at the end.
On the visit we test the gotelé, check the condition of the walls and give you a detailed written quote. We also remove gotelé in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions
01Textured wall (gotelé) removal in Ciutat Vella: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.
02Should gotelé be scraped off or covered?
It depends on the type. Distemper gotelé softens with water and can be scraped off; plastic gotelé is firmly bonded and is usually covered with skim filler instead. We test it during the visit.
03Does it create a lot of dust?
Sanding produces fine dust, so we seal doors, cover everything with plastic and sand with machines connected to an extractor. We clean thoroughly at the end.
04Can gotelé be removed from ceilings too?
Yes, the process is the same, although on ceilings we work from a scaffold tower and protect light fittings and cornices.
