Older flats in Nou Barris: what we check first
In areas such as Porta, Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta and El Turó de la Peira many flats are in 19th or early 20th-century buildings, with Catalan vaults, timber beams and thick load-bearing walls. Before chasing any wall we check the beam ends and the areas under the bathroom and kitchen, where damp tends to collect.
In older flats in areas such as La Prosperitat, Verdun and Les Roquetes 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: Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac.

Frequently asked questions
01Renovation of older flats 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.
02Can 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.
03What 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.
