Property types here
Traditional town houses and older property around the centre and the riverside, plus modern detached villas, townhouses and quads on the newer developments up the hill.
Older property near the river
Traditional construction close to the Segura needs handling differently from a 2005 villa. Older walls are frequently built to breathe — moisture moves through the masonry and evaporates out through the surface, which is exactly how they were designed to work.
Seal that surface with a modern impermeable coating and the moisture has nowhere to go. It collects behind the paint film and eventually pushes it off, often taking a layer of render with it. On a property near the river, where ground moisture is higher, it happens faster.
So on older Rojales property the first question is always what the wall is made of and what's already on it. If it needs a breathable coating, it gets one.

FAQs
We've got an older town house. Can it be painted normally?
It needs looking at first. If the walls are traditional and breathable, a modern sealing coating would cause problems. A breathable system solves it.
There's blistering on the lower part of the wall. What causes that?
Usually moisture trying to escape through a coating that won't let it. Common on older property that's been painted with a modern impermeable paint. The fix is stripping the affected area back and using something breathable.
Do you cover both the town and the hillside developments?
Yes, all of Rojales.
