What we check on a wall before replastering
With colder winters, outside walls often show condensation and mould in the corners. Before plastering we consider an insulated lining or a more breathable render, then skim the wall ready for paint (often found in Nucli antic, Barri de Dalt and La Doma).
After rewiring or new plumbing we fill the chases with gypsum, bed mesh over movement cracks and skim the entire wall, not just the patch, so nothing shows through the paint.
We come to see the walls, tap them with you and hand over a detailed written quote, wall by wall. We also plaster and skim in nearby areas: L'Ametlla del Vallès, Les Franqueses del Vallès and Figaró-Montmany.

We work in La Garriga in areas such as Nucli antic, Barri de Dalt, La Doma, Barri de Montserrat, Barri Querol and Can Terrers, and also nearby: L'Ametlla del Vallès, Les Franqueses del Vallès and Figaró-Montmany.
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.
