Renovating a utility room or gallery in Ciutat Vella
In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, the gallery is narrow and the washing machine shares a single socket with half the kitchen. We stack the washer and dryer, run a dedicated line from the consumer unit and use the full height with cupboards up to the ceiling.
In utility rooms in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera we deal with steam using a grille or an extractor with a humidistat. If the dryer is vented, we take the hose outside; if it is a condenser model, we connect its water to the waste so the tank never needs emptying by hand.
We visit the utility room, measure where the appliances fit and give you a detailed written quote; a site manager coordinates the plumber and electrician. We also renovate utility rooms in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.
