Timber joinery in the Eixample: what we usually find
Early 20th-century buildings in areas such as La Dreta de l'Eixample and L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample still have many tall timber balcony doors with inner shutters, and panelled internal doors with glass. They usually carry several coats of paint and worn hinges, but the timber underneath is good and worth repairing on site.
For splices in areas such as La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample and Sant Antoni we cut out only the damaged section and glue in new timber of the same species with the grain running the same way. Minor defects are filled with epoxy consolidant and shaped before sanding.
We work on site, protect floors and walls and clear up sawdust and sanding dust at the end, with every leaf tested. We repair doors and windows nearby too: Gràcia, Sant Martí and Ciutat Vella.

Frequently asked questions
01Timber joinery repair in the Eixample: which areas do you cover?
We work in the Eixample in areas such as La Dreta de l'Eixample, L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample, Sant Antoni, La Sagrada Família and El Fort Pienc, and also nearby: Gràcia, Sant Martí and Ciutat Vella.
02Is it worth repairing an old timber window rather than replacing it?
Often it is: if most of the frame is sound, a splice, careful adjustment and a fresh finish bring back a tight closure and the original look. If the wood is rotten in several places, we tell you at the visit and consider replacement.
03Can wood with woodworm be repaired?
Yes, if the damage is localised. We treat the tunnels, consolidate or replace the affected part and apply a finish that protects the piece. When woodworm has weakened the structure, we recommend replacing that element.
04Can you match the colour of the other doors?
Yes, we adjust the stain or paint with test patches on the wood itself until it comes close to the tone of the other pieces.
