Scrape or cover: how we decide wall by wall
Removing gotelé in areas such as El Raval, El Barri Gòtic and La Barceloneta creates fine dust, which matters in buildings with a shared staircase. We seal doors, take rubble out in closed sacks and sand with dust-extracted machines, within the community of owners' hours.
In areas such as La Dreta de l'Eixample, L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample and Sant Antoni we apply skim filler in successive thin coats, letting each one dry, until the texture is fully covered. Corners are reinforced with beading so the edges stay straight.
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: L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Esplugues de Llobregat and Sant Cugat del Vallès.

Frequently asked questions
01Textured wall (gotelé) removal in Barcelona: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Barcelona, in areas such as El Raval, El Barri Gòtic, La Barceloneta, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera, La Dreta de l'Eixample, L'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample and Sant Antoni, and also nearby: L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Esplugues de Llobregat and Sant Cugat del Vallès. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.
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.
