Plastered walls in Santa Coloma de Gramenet: typical condition and our approach
Town-centre flats in areas such as Centre and Can Mariner are mostly from the 1960s to 80s, with hand-screeded gypsum walls that are sound but show ripples once painted in light colours. A full skim with fine filler usually sorts it out without hacking off.
After rewiring or new plumbing, which is common in areas such as Llatí and Riera Alta, 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: Barcelona, Badalona and Sant Adrià de Besòs.

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.
