Plastering and rendering across the Axarquia

Smooth internal plastering, exterior render and lasting damp repairs for coastal and country properties on the eastern Costa del Sol.

Plastering, skimming and rendering

Good plastering is the difference between a paint job that looks flat and walls that look new. We plaster interiors, render exteriors and repair the cracked, blown or damp-damaged surfaces that are so common in coastal Spanish properties.

  • Internal plastering and skimming — smooth finishes ready for paint
  • Gotelé removal — say goodbye to textured walls, hello to clean modern surfaces
  • Exterior render — traditional and monocapa render, applied or repaired
  • Crack and blown-render repairs on facades and boundary walls
  • Damp-affected plaster removed, walls treated and re-plastered properly
  • Decorative finishes and arch/edge detailing

The coastal damp problem

Properties in Torre del Mar, Almayate and along the coast take a beating from salt air and winter humidity. Painting over damp plaster only hides the problem for a season. We take the affected plaster back to the wall, treat the cause — rising damp, bridged render, failed pointing — and re-plaster with the right breathable materials so the repair lasts.

Tidy, dust-controlled work

Plastering is messy work, but your home doesn't have to be. Floors and furniture are sheeted, rooms are sealed while we work, and we leave every space clean. Most single rooms are skimmed and ready for paint within two to three days.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you remove gotelé (textured paint) walls?

Yes — gotelé removal and re-skimming is one of our most requested jobs. Depending on the type, we either soak and scrape or skim directly over with plaster, leaving walls smooth and ready for modern paint.

How do you deal with damp walls?

We never just plaster over damp. We strip back the affected area, identify the cause — rising damp, failed exterior render, condensation — treat it, then re-plaster with breathable materials appropriate for the wall.

How soon can I paint over new plaster?

In the Axarquia climate, skimmed walls are usually dry enough for a mist coat in 3–7 days depending on season and thickness. We'll tell you the safe date when we finish.

Do you do small plastering repairs?

Yes. Cracks, blown patches, holes after electrical work — no job is too small, and small repairs are usually done in a single visit.
