Gotelé in Horta-Guinardó: which type it is and how we remove it
In older flats in areas such as El Baix Guinardó, El Guinardó and Can Baró gotelé often hides plaster walls with chips and cracks. When removing it we repair that damage with mesh and filler before skimming, so the finished wall is sound.
On the walls we skim in areas such as El Carmel and La Teixonera we first do a water test: if the gotelé softens it is distemper and comes off; if not, it is plastic and we cover it. That test sets the method and is reflected in the quote.
We seal doors, cover floors and furniture and, as each room is handed over, take up the protection and clean thoroughly. We also work nearby: Gràcia, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu.

Frequently asked questions
01Textured wall (gotelé) removal in Horta-Guinardó: which areas do you cover?
We work in Horta-Guinardó in areas such as El Baix Guinardó, El Guinardó, Can Baró, El Carmel, La Teixonera, Horta, La Clota and La Font d'en Fargues, and also nearby: Gràcia, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu.
02Should gotelé be scraped off or covered?
It depends on the type. Distemper gotelé softens with water and can be scraped off; plastic gotelé is firmly bonded and is usually covered with skim filler instead. We test it during the visit.
03Does it create a lot of dust?
Sanding produces fine dust, so we seal doors, cover everything with plastic and sand with machines connected to an extractor. We clean thoroughly at the end.
04Can gotelé be removed from ceilings too?
Yes, the process is the same, although on ceilings we work from a scaffold tower and protect light fittings and cornices.
