House & Building Construction in Corroios
Corroios grew quickly and it grew upwards. Most of the housing stock is apartment blocks built between the seventies and the nineties, now lived in by families who do not want to leave the area but do want a different home: a kitchen open to the living room, a bathroom worth using, pipework that does not burst and wiring that can cope with what a modern household plugs in. We do that kind of deep renovation, and we also build on the plots that remain between Miratejo, Santa Marta and Alto dos Moinhos. Working inside an occupied building asks for care that goes beyond the building work itself, and that is planned before we start.

About our service in Corroios
In a deep renovation, the first question is never about finishes, it is about what may be moved. These blocks have single-leaf partitions that come out without drama, and columns and beams that are part of the building's structure and are not negotiable. There are also the common risers for water and drainage, which pass through every flat and do not belong to the owner: touching them without speaking to the owners' association creates a problem that costs double to resolve. We survey what exists, identify what is structural, and then design the new home around what is possible rather than what was hoped for. That conversation saves pointless demolition and promises the block cannot keep. The services are where the real value of this kind of job sits. Replacing old pipework, rewiring with a new consumer unit, separate circuits and residual current protection, putting sockets where modern life needs them and testing everything before walls are closed is worth more over time than any choice of floor covering. It is also the invisible work, and therefore the first thing cut from a quote that needs to look shorter. We would rather explain why it is not cut, item by item, before you decide. A flat with new services and a proper consumer unit is one that gives you no surprises for a decade. Working in an occupied block has its own rules, and in Corroios the stairs are narrow and the lifts small. We protect the access routes and the lift, agree noisy days with the administration, keep rubble off the landings and remove waste as it is produced. We tell the neighbours before we open chases or demolish, because half an hour of warning prevents months of resentment. We work Monday to Saturday, 9am to 8pm, with no work on Sunday, which protects everyone living in the building.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions in Corroios:
Can I open the kitchen into the living room?
Usually yes, but it depends on what the wall does. If it is a partition it comes out without difficulty; if it forms part of the structure, the answer is a beam sized by an engineer and a rather different job from the one you pictured. We open an inspection point before promising anything, and if the work needs a design and a notification to the council, we tell you straight away.
Do I need the owners' association to approve work inside my flat?
For the interior of your own unit, as a rule no. You do if the work touches common parts such as risers, the facade, balconies or structure, and you must respect the building's rules on noise and hours in any case. In practice, telling the administration before starting prevents half the disputes, even where it is not legally required.
Should I replace all the pipework or only what is visible?
If the block is from the seventies or eighties and the pipes are original, replace everything serving the flat. Changing one section leaves the rest ageing behind freshly painted walls, and the first burst means opening it all up again. With the walls already open, doing the job properly adds much less than coming back later.
