What we check on a wall before replastering
In areas such as Sant Andreu and La Trinitat Vella 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.
The final skim on walls we work on in areas such as La Sagrera, Navas and El Congrés i els Indians goes on in thin coats of fine filler, each sanded before the next. We check the finish with a lamp held close to the wall and seal it so the paint takes evenly everywhere.
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: Nou Barris, Horta-Guinardó and Sant Martí.

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.
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.
