Plastered walls in Nou Barris: typical condition and our approach
In areas such as Porta, Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta and El Turó de la Peira many early 20th-century buildings have gypsum over solid brick, with walls several centimetres out of plumb and decades of paint layers. Before plastering we hack off anything that sounds hollow and set screeds to bring the wall back to plumb without losing more room than needed.
In homes across areas such as La Prosperitat, Verdun and Les Roquetes we start by tapping every wall, marking hollow plaster and removing it back to a sound background. On brick, concrete or old gypsum we apply a bonding coat so the new layer grips and does not come away later.
A site manager organises the job; we cover floors and furniture and, when finished, take away bags, rubble and sanding dust. We work in the surrounding areas too: Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac.

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.
02What is the difference between plastering and skimming?
Plastering is a coat of gypsum that corrects out-of-plumb walls and leaves brick or old plaster flat. Skimming is a thin coat that removes roughness from a wall that is already flat.
03When can a freshly plastered wall be painted?
Once the plaster is completely dry, which depends on its thickness, ventilation and the time of year. Before painting we apply a sealer so the paint takes evenly across the surface.
04Can a wall with cracks be skimmed?
Yes, but first we open up and fill the cracks and, if they are movement cracks, we embed mesh so they do not show through again.
