Gotelé in Nou Barris: which type it is and how we remove it
In areas such as Porta, Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta and El Turó de la Peira many 1960s and 70s buildings still have the original distemper gotelé, often under several coats of emulsion. We test each room, because one flat can have areas that scrape off and others that are better covered.
On the walls we skim in areas such as La Prosperitat, Verdun and Les Roquetes 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: Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac.

Frequently asked questions
01Textured wall (gotelé) removal in Nou Barris: which areas do you cover?
We work in Nou Barris in areas such as Porta, Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta, El Turó de la Peira, Can Peguera, La Prosperitat, Verdun, Les Roquetes and La Guineueta, and also nearby: Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac.
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.
