How we create a room under the roof in Ciutat Vella

In areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval many roof spaces are in apartment buildings, where the roof is shared property. We work from inside wherever possible, agree any work on the roof itself with the residents' association and carry insulation up the stairs in packs.

In attics in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera we use the low areas for made-to-measure cupboards and drawers under the slope, and adapt the staircase so it is easy to climb. Sockets, lighting and air-conditioning pre-installation run inside the lining, with no visible cables.

We go up to see the attic, measure the headroom and give you a detailed written quote; a site manager coordinates the joinery, insulation and services and leaves the house clean. We also work in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions

01

Attic renovation 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.

02

Can timber beams be treated without removing them?

In most cases, yes. If the core of the timber is sound, we treat it for woodworm and fungi and reinforce the weak members. We only replace those that have lost load-bearing capacity.

03

How do you keep an attic cool?

With good roof insulation, cross ventilation between roof windows and solar shading on them. On the visit we check how much insulation your roof can take.

04

What headroom does an attic need to count as habitable?

The CTE and local by-laws set minimum heights for living areas. We measure the attic and show you which floor area counts as habitable and which is better used for storage.
