Everything your renovation includes, with no one for you to coordinate.
Textured-finish type assessment
There are two main types: distemper textured finish (water-based, easier to remove) and plastic textured finish (painted over, more resistant). Identifying which one you have is essential because the removal method changes completely. We check during the visit before quoting.
Textured-finish removal
Distemper textured finish is softened with water and removed with a scraper. Plastic textured finish requires mechanical sanding or stripping agents. In both cases we protect floors and furniture before starting. The process generates waste that we collect when finished.
Smoothing and filling imperfections
After removing the textured finish, the wall is left uneven with small defects. We fill every imperfection, sand the entire surface and check the result with raking light to ensure no visible relief remains. Smoothing is the most labour-intensive phase and the one that makes the difference.
Priming and preparation for painting
We apply sealing primer that unifies wall absorption and prepares the surface for paint or wallpaper. Without this coat, paint can absorb unevenly and produce stains or tone differences.
Final painting (optional)
If you wish, we paint the smoothed walls in the colour of your choice. We apply two coats of washable emulsion paint with a professional flat finish. This way we hand over the room completely finished, ready to enjoy.
Clean-up and handover
We remove plastic sheets, filler residue and sanding dust. We clean the room and hand it over ready. No trace of construction work or textured finish.

What you ask us most.
How much does textured-finish removal cost in a Cádiz flat?
It depends on the textured-finish type (distemper or plastic) and the square metres. Distemper textured finish starts at around 12 euros per square metre and plastic at around 18 euros. For a three-bedroom flat the budget is usually between 1,500 and 3,000 euros. We give you a fixed price after the visit.
How long does it take to remove a textured finish from a flat?
A three-bedroom flat usually takes four to seven working days, depending on the textured-finish type and wall condition. Distemper textured finish is quicker than plastic. We give you a specific delivery date before starting.
What is the difference between distemper and plastic textured finish?
Distemper textured finish was applied with water-based paint and has no plastic paint layers on top. It softens with water and is scraped off. Plastic textured finish has one or more coats of emulsion paint that waterproof it and make it much harder to remove, requiring mechanical sanding.
Can I wallpaper after removing the textured finish?
Yes, in fact removing the textured finish and installing wallpaper is a very common combination. Once the wall is smoothed and primed, the surface is perfect for any type of wallpaper. We offer the complete service: removal, smoothing and wallpapering.
Which areas of Cádiz do you cover?
Cádiz city, San Fernando, Chiclana, Puerto Real, El Puerto de Santa María, Jerez and surrounding areas.
A textured finish was the go-to wall finish in the 80s and 90s, but today it makes any room feel dated and dim. We remove it completely, smooth the walls and leave them ready to paint with a professional flat finish. No dust, no rubble and with a fixed-price quote.
A textured finish was the standard finish in Spanish homes built between the 70s and 90s. Today it is considered an outdated finish that darkens rooms, collects dust and makes decorating difficult. Removing it and smoothing the walls instantly modernises any room.
The process depends on the textured-finish type. Distemper textured finish (unpainted) is softened with water and scraped off, relatively quickly. Plastic textured finish (with paint layers) is harder: it requires mechanical sanding or stripping agents. In both cases, smoothing with filler, fine sanding and priming follow. It is this subsequent work that guarantees a truly smooth finish.
Many old Cádiz flats still have an original textured finish from thirty or forty years ago. Removing it is one of the highest-impact visual changes you can make in a home: rooms gain brightness, spaciousness and an updated look. Service with fixed-price quote in Cádiz, San Fernando, Chiclana, Puerto Real, El Puerto, Jerez and the whole Bay area.
