Bricklayer & Masonry in Corroios

A great deal of Corroios is flats, and flats have a particular rhythm of work. The blocks at Miratejo, Santa Marta and Alto dos Moinhos are reaching the age where plumbing and wiring are being renewed, and once those trades have finished the walls are left open. Closing them up, retiling the bathroom, levelling a floor so a new covering will sit flat: that is the masonry stage, and it is the one owners most often struggle to book. We work through Corroios centro, Miratejo, Alto dos Moinhos, Santa Marta and Verdizela, and we tell you where our trade fits into the sequence before you commit to a date.

About our service in Corroios

Making good is skilled work, despite the modest name. A chase filled carelessly will shadow through paint, a patch that is proud of the wall will catch every raking light, and a replacement tile set at the wrong depth is visible for the rest of the tiling's life. We fill and reinforce chases so they do not open again, rebuild the small pieces of partition that were cut away for a cistern or a consumer unit, and bring the surface back flat so the painter can simply paint. If you are managing the works from another country, we will confirm what state we will leave the flat in. Sequence is worth spelling out. Plumbing and electrics go in first, the bricklayer follows, and the painter comes last; on a floor, levelling and screeding happen before the covering, and the screed needs time to dry before anything is laid over it. Owners who reverse any of this end up paying twice for the same surface. We will set out the order with you and confirm a timescale before starting, working Monday to Saturday within normal hours. When someone asks us to take a wall out to open up a kitchen, our first question is what that wall is doing. If it carries load, or if the work touches a beam, a column or a slab, it needs a project drawn up by a qualified technician and authorisation from the câmara municipal, and since rules vary by município that is checked with the câmara for the address. In a block, work affecting a facade, a terrace or another shared part also requires the condomínio's agreement. Non-load-bearing partitions are a different matter and we can advise, but the point is that we establish this before quoting rather than after the first hammer blow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions we are asked in Corroios:

Nobody wants to finish off after my plumber. Do you take that kind of job?

Yes, it is one of the main reasons people call us. Filling chases, rebuilding the bit of partition that was cut away, replacing tiles and getting the wall flat again is proper masonry work, and it is the step between the plumber and the painter. We are happy to take on that stage alone, without doing the whole renovation.

Can I have the flat painted first to save time?

It works out as more work, not less. Masonry work marks and disturbs surfaces, so any painting done before we finish gets damaged. The order that works is services, then masonry, then decoration. If time is short we would rather agree a tighter programme with you than reverse the sequence.

How long should a new screed dry before I lay the floor covering?

Longer than most people expect, and it depends on thickness, the material used and the weather. We will not tell you a number that suits the calendar rather than the floor. What we will do is tell you at the quote that drying time is part of the programme, agree a timescale that allows for it, and let you know when the floor is ready to receive its covering.
