    We open up and seal cracks and replace mortar in damaged areas.

  • Breathable paint

    Exterior masonry paint that repels water, lets vapour out and resists UV.

    We take down the scaffolding, clean the area and check every section.

Façades in Horta-Guinardó: the condition we usually find

In 1960s and 70s blocks in areas such as El Baix Guinardó, El Guinardó and Can Baró we often find cracks along the slab edges and patches of render that sound hollow. We hack them off and rebuild them before painting, always within the working hours set by the residents' community.

Before painting buildings in areas such as El Carmel and La Teixonera, we pressure-wash the façade and let the substrate dry properly. Cracks are opened into a V and sealed, and a binding primer goes on wherever the render crumbles to the touch.

A site manager coordinates the scaffolding or rope access, and at the end we remove protection and clean the pavement and balconies. We also work nearby: Gràcia, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu.

Frequently asked questions

01

Façade painting 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.

02

What paint do you use on façades?

Usually silicate, siloxane or acrylic exterior paint, depending on the substrate. It must be breathable so moisture in the wall can escape without causing blisters.

03

Is scaffolding needed to paint a façade?

It depends on the height and access. Low houses only need a scaffold tower or a platform; for buildings with lightwells or on narrow streets we often use rope access.

04

Can the residents' community choose the colour?

Yes. We apply samples on the façade itself so residents can see them in real light. It is worth checking whether the town council sets colours for that area.
