Start with the surface underneath
We assess loose plaster, uneven areas and damage left by plumbing or electrical alterations. Depending on the existing surface, work may involve removing unsound material, patch repairs or a broader skim. The aim is a suitable base for the agreed finish, rather than simply covering a visible mark.
Tell us whether you want one repaired patch or a more consistent finish across a room. Existing textures, paint layers and junctions between materials can affect the approach. We discuss edges, corners and adjoining surfaces before quoting, including whether decorating and other making good are part of the same job.
Damp patches need more than a skim
Humidity, condensation and water ingress can damage finishes in Valencia homes. Coastal properties may also show salt-related deterioration. A stained or crumbling area needs its cause considered before fresh plaster is applied, otherwise the problem may return through the new surface.
After autumn gota fría storms, a ceiling stain could point to a roof or terrace leak rather than a plastering defect. Cracks also vary, from surface movement to signs needing further assessment. We explain concerns we find and coordinate related repairs where agreed. We do not present a cosmetic finish as a cure for unresolved damp or movement.
A tidy plan for repairs and finishing
We visit, look at the condition of the walls or ceilings and provide a free, itemised written quote. Access, protection and the extent of preparation are discussed alongside the finish. Drying depends on the material and conditions, so decorating should follow the surface requirements rather than a guessed date.
If you need an English-speaking handyman in Valencia for related making good, describe the whole list when you enquire. We can agree which tasks belong in the scope and coordinate them through one point of contact. Our team also speaks Dutch, German and Spanish. For owners abroad, we can hold keys and share progress photos, including preparation before it is covered. We are fully insured, our work is guaranteed, and we serve homes within about an hour of Valencia.
Photos of both the damaged patch and the surrounding room help us understand the context. Include any history of leaks or previous repairs when you enquire, even if the surface currently looks dry.
