Older flats in Horta-Guinardó: what we check first
In areas such as El Baix Guinardó, El Guinardó and Can Baró 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.
In older flats in areas such as El Carmel and La Teixonera we replace lead and iron with multilayer pipe from the meter, with new waste pipes down to the soil stack. The electrics are redone completely: cabling, consumer unit and earthing to REBT.
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: Gràcia, Nou Barris and Sant Andreu.

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.
