What we keep and what we renew
In areas such as La Vila de Gràcia and El Camp d'en Grassot i Gràcia Nova flats often still have lead pipes up to the meter and cloth-covered wiring with no earth. Replacing them means cutting chases in old walls, so we plan the work with the owners' association and keep to its hours.
On the walls of older flats in areas such as La Salut, El Coll and Vallcarca i els Penitents we strip loose plaster back to a firm base, stitch cracks with mesh and replaster. Damaged cornices are repaired in plaster rather than replaced.
We have spent more than 20 years working in flats with history and know where to look before quoting. We also cover the surrounding areas: Eixample, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi and Horta-Guinardó.

Frequently asked questions
01Renovation of older flats in Gràcia: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Gràcia, in areas such as La Vila de Gràcia, El Camp d'en Grassot i Gràcia Nova, La Salut, El Coll and Vallcarca i els Penitents, and also nearby: Eixample, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi and Horta-Guinardó. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.
02Can the original encaustic tile floor be kept?
In many cases, yes. We assess it during the visit: if the tiles are sound they are cleaned, loose ones are relaid and the floor is polished; if not, they can be reused in a single room.
03What happens if surprises turn up when walls or ceilings are opened?
It is common in an older flat. We check everything visible before quoting and, if something hidden appears, such as a damaged beam, we show it to you and add it to the written quote before carrying on.
