From old floor to porcelain in Ciutat Vella
In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval terrazzo is the norm and is often sound. If the doors allow, we tile over it instead of breaking it up: less rubble carried down a narrow staircase and less noise for the neighbours.
To finish floors in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera, we leave perimeter joints under the skirting, grout in the colour you choose and clean off cement residue with the right product so no haze is left on the porcelain.
During the visit we look at the tile, measure the area and check the base, then give you a detailed written quote. We also lay porcelain in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions
01Porcelain floor tiling 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.
02Can porcelain go over the old floor?
Often, yes, if the current floor is solid and flat. Door heights and thresholds with other rooms need checking, and we look at both during the visit.
03What does large-format porcelain need?
A very flat base, double-spread adhesive and levelling clips. Big tiles mean fewer joints, but the setting out and cutting have to be more precise.
04Can the same tile run from the living room to the terrace?
Only if the range has an outdoor non-slip version with the slip rating the CTE requires. Many collections offer both, so the floor can flow outside.
