Renovating a flat with history in Les Corts

Older flats in areas such as Les Corts and La Maternitat i Sant Ramon often have high ceilings with cornices, timber doors and encaustic tiles, sometimes hidden under later flooring. On the visit we open small test holes to see what lies underneath and decide with you what to restore.

In older flats in areas such as Pedralbes and Zona Universitària 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: Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Sants-Montjuïc and Eixample.

Frequently asked questions

01

Renovation of older flats in Les Corts: which areas do you cover?

We work in Les Corts in areas such as Les Corts, La Maternitat i Sant Ramon, Pedralbes and Zona Universitària, and also nearby: Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Sants-Montjuïc and Eixample.

02

Can 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.

03

What 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.
