Basement renovation in Ciutat Vella: what we check first

When the basement is part of a block, as is often the case in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, the perimeter walls are common elements. Before waterproofing or opening a ventilation outlet we agree it with the residents' association and work within the hours it sets.

Finishes depend on use: a tiled floor and stable temperature for a wine cellar, rubber flooring for a gym, moisture-resistant board and an insulated floor for a living space. In areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera we check the headroom first, as it sometimes limits the insulation.

We go down to the basement with you, measure damp and headroom and give you a detailed written quote; a site manager coordinates every stage. We also renovate basements in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions

01

Basement 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

Does the damp need fixing before the basement is fitted out?

Always. First we find out whether the water comes from the ground, a leak or condensation, and apply the right solution. Skip that step and the finishes will end up damaged.

03

Can a basement be used as a bedroom?

For habitable use the CTE requires daylight, ventilation and a minimum ceiling height, and local planning must allow it. We check this on the visit; if it isn't possible, we suggest uses such as a gym, wine cellar or play area.
