Corners and edges
We reinforce corners with angle beads and leave the edges straight.

Sanding under raking light
We sand with extraction and check under raking light until no marks remain.
-
Sealer and paint
Sealer and two coats of paint for a smooth, even finish.
Scrape or cover: how we decide wall by wall
In areas such as Sant Andreu and La Trinitat Vella 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.
In areas such as La Sagrera, Navas and El Congrés i els Indians we finish with a coat of sealer, which evens out the filler's absorption, and two coats of emulsion. Sockets and switch plates are removed beforehand and refitted at the end.
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: Nou Barris, Horta-Guinardó and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions
01Textured wall (gotelé) removal in Sant Andreu: which areas do you cover?
We work in Sant Andreu in areas such as Sant Andreu, La Trinitat Vella, La Sagrera, Navas, El Congrés i els Indians, El Bon Pastor and Baró de Viver, and also nearby: Nou Barris, Horta-Guinardó and Sant Martí.
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.
