Tavernes Blanques has a character you grasp the moment you walk its streets: it is one of the smallest and densest municipalities in all of Spain, just over half a square kilometre where around 9,000 people live. It is not a district or a neighbourhood of Valencia, but it feels like one: only a single street separates it from the city, it sits literally up against the capital to the north, and it forms an unbroken urban stretch with Alboraya and with the northern districts of Valencia. There is no room to spread out here, so almost all the housing is flats in apartment blocks, buildings between party walls, and the renovation comes down to making the very most of every metre.
That shapes the kind of work people most often ask us for in the town. We are not talking about villas with gardens or plots of land, but about flats several decades old inside residents’ communities: homes with services that are now under strain, small kitchens inherited from the 1970s or 80s, heavily compartmentalised layouts and the constant need to gain light and make the most of the space. Renovating in Tavernes Blanques is, above all, about knowing how to run a project inside an occupied block without turning it into a problem for the whole building.
At Batecs we know how to do it. We work in Tavernes Blanques from our base in La Eliana, with the same logistics we use to renovate any flat in Valencia and its metropolitan area: carrying rubble up and down through a shared stairwell, respecting community hours, coordinating with the building’s management and leaving the common areas just as they were. More than three decades renovating flats have taught us that, in a town as compact as this one, the details of getting along with neighbours matter just as much as the result inside the home.
01 What we do here
Renovation services in Tavernes Blanques
All geared towards the flat in an apartment block: from a complete full renovation to simply renewing the kitchen or the bathroom, always with an in-house team and a single site manager.
Full home renovations
We renovate the whole flat —partitions, services, kitchen, bathrooms and finishes— and hand it over ready to move into, with a fixed quote.
Kitchen renovations
Bespoke kitchens designed for compact flats: we make the most of every corner and, where possible, open them up to the living room to gain light.
Bathroom renovations
Swapping a bathtub for a shower, accessible bathrooms or a complete refit, making the most of the metres and improving the block’s ventilation.
Partial renovations
When you only want to renew one area or split the work into phases, without tearing the whole flat apart at once.
Services and damp
We renew worn-out plumbing and electrics and treat the party-wall and light-well damp typical of the older blocks.
Painting and interior design
The finish that gives a small flat its character: well-judged layers of light, colour and materials that make the space feel bigger.
If you are still not sure how far to take things, we tell you frankly during the visit: in a flat within an apartment block, the most cost-effective approach is sometimes to put the money into the kitchen, bathroom and services before any major changes to the partitions.
02 What changes here
What makes renovating in Tavernes Blanques different
Renovating in such a compact town, full of flats up against Valencia, has its own rulebook. These are the issues that come up most often in Tavernes Blanques and the way we deal with them.
Work inside an occupied block
Almost every renovation here is in a flat within a community, with neighbours above, below and next door, and a single entrance for getting materials in and out. That means planning the logistics from day one: protecting the common areas, keeping rubble removal contained, controlling dust and noise, and respecting the hours the building sets. We talk to the management or the head of the residents’ community when needed and leave the landing and the lift just as they were. The work is barely noticed and finishes on schedule.
Compact flats: every metre counts
Because the town is so dense, the flats tend to be tight on floor space, with the original layout heavily chopped up. The challenge is not to have more space, but to make better use of what there is: opening the kitchen up to the living room where the partition allows, gaining a functional bathroom where the bathtub barely used to fit, adding storage by making the most of corridors and unifying the flooring so the home can breathe. In limited metres, a good layout completely changes how the house feels to live in.
Services several decades old
A good part of the housing stock in Tavernes Blanques was put up forty or fifty years ago, so it is very common to find plumbing and electrics at their limit: lead or iron pipes, electrical panels that cannot cope with today’s appliances and shared waste pipes that are worth checking. The full renovation is the best moment to renew it all at once, before closing up floors and walls, and to spare yourself a breakdown once the work is finished.
Party-wall and light-well damp
In buildings between party walls and with narrow light wells, damp from leaks or condensation appears that is worth diagnosing properly before painting. There is no point covering a stain that will come back: first we locate the source —a waste pipe, the roof, poor ventilation— and resolve it, and only then do we complete the finishes so the result lasts.
Permits from Tavernes Blanques Town Hall
A flat renovation that does not touch the structure or the façade is usually processed with a responsible declaration or notice of works at Tavernes Blanques Town Hall, while working on common elements, enlarging openings or touching load-bearing walls requires a licence. We take care of guiding you and managing the paperwork so your renovation is always above board, without you having to chase formalities.

04 Investment
How much it costs to renovate a flat in Tavernes Blanques
No two flats are the same, but these market ranges help you get your bearings before requesting a quote. They are indicative: we set the real price after the technical visit.
| Level of flat renovation | Indicative price | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh (basic range) | ≈ €400-600/m² | Renewal of finishes, painting, flooring and a refresh of the kitchen and bathroom, with no changes to the layout. |
| Mid-range flat renovation | ≈ €600-900/m² | Layout changes, new plumbing and electrics, complete kitchen and bathrooms, joinery and good finishes. |
| High end / premium full renovation | ≈ €900-1,300+/m² | Complete redistribution, air conditioning, high-end materials and bespoke interior design. |
Indicative market ranges in Tavernes Blanques and l’Horta Nord for 2026, by way of reference. They do not constitute a quote or an offer. As a hypothetical example, an 85 m² mid-range flat would be around €51,000-76,500, but the real cost depends on your home, its starting condition and the qualities you choose.
What affects the price
In a flat within an apartment block the cost is driven mainly by the floor area, by the condition of the services (the older they are, the more preparatory work before the finishes), by how much you change the layout, by the access through the entrance and the floor level (whether there is a lift or everything has to be carried up by hand weighs on the logistics) and by the level of qualities you choose.
That is why we prefer to give you a fixed quote after the technical visit, with the items itemised, rather than a price per square metre that then does not fit your home. That way you know from day one exactly what you are going to pay.

06 Real work in the area
Flats renovated in l’Horta
A sample of the kind of flat in an apartment block we transform in Tavernes Blanques and in the towns up against Valencia. Work representative of the area, with no personal details.
Flat with the kitchen opened up to the living room
A flat in an apartment block with a very compartmentalised day area. We opened the kitchen up to the living room, completely renewed the plumbing and electrics and unified the flooring. The result: an open, bright space where there had been small, closed-off rooms.
Bathroom optimised in limited metres
Swapping an old bathtub for a flush shower tray with a glass screen, a basin with storage and better ventilation to hold back the damp. Far more usable space within the same metres as ever.
Bespoke compact kitchen
A small kitchen solved with handleless units up to the ceiling, a hard-wearing worktop and integrated appliances. We made the most of every corner to add storage without the room feeling cluttered.
You will find more completed work in our gallery of projects, as well as in the portfolios of kitchen renovations and bathroom renovations.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about renovations in Tavernes Blanques
Do you have experience renovating flats in apartment blocks in Tavernes Blanques?
Yes, it is precisely what we do most in the town. Tavernes Blanques is almost entirely flats within communities, and we have spent more than 35 years running projects inside occupied blocks: protecting the common areas, controlled rubble removal, respecting the building’s hours and coordinating with the management or the head of the community. The work is barely noticed and finishes on schedule.
How much does it cost to renovate a flat in Tavernes Blanques?
As an indicative market reference, a flat renovation usually ranges between around €400-600/m² for a refresh of finishes and €900-1,300/m² or more at the high end with redistribution and premium materials. The floor area, the condition of the services and the floor level and entrance access all play a part. After the technical visit we give you a fixed quote itemised by line.
Do I need permission from Tavernes Blanques Town Hall to renovate?
It depends on the scope. A flat renovation that does not touch the structure or the façade is usually resolved with a responsible declaration or notice of works at Tavernes Blanques Town Hall; touching load-bearing walls, enlarging openings or working on common elements requires a licence. We advise you and manage the paperwork so the work is always above board.
Can I open the kitchen up to the living room in a flat within an apartment block?
In many cases yes, and it is one of the best ways to gain light and a sense of space in a compact flat. It depends on whether the partition between the kitchen and the living room is load-bearing and on the extraction outlets and ducts. During the visit we check what is feasible without compromising the structure or the community’s rules, and we suggest the solution that makes the most of your metres.
Is it worth renewing the plumbing and electrics in a renovation?
In the older blocks of Tavernes Blanques, almost always. It is very common to find lead or iron pipes and electrical panels that cannot cope with today’s appliances. The full renovation is the moment to renew it all at once, before closing up floors and walls, so you don’t end up with a breakdown once the home is finished.
How do you treat party-wall or light-well damp?
First we look for the source —a waste pipe, the roof, poor ventilation of the light well— and resolve it; only then do we complete the finishes. Covering a stain without tackling the cause is pointless: the damp comes back. That is why we prefer to diagnose properly before painting and close the problem off for good.
Can I live in the flat while the work is going on?
In a full renovation it is tricky, because the whole home is torn up at once and the kitchen, bathrooms and floors are out of service for weeks. With partial or phased renovations it is usually possible to keep living at home. We study it with you during the visit and organise the phases so the disruption is as little as possible in your situation.
Do you also work in Valencia and the surrounding towns?
Yes. As Tavernes Blanques sits up against Valencia to the north, we cover the city and the neighbouring l’Horta Nord towns —Alboraya, Meliana, Moncada and Godella— without any problem, as well as our whole Camp de Túria area from the base in La Eliana. That closeness lets us respond quickly and coordinate the work at close hand.
In summary
Tavernes Blanques is a tiny, very dense town in l’Horta Nord, tucked up against Valencia to the north and made up almost entirely of flats in apartment blocks. Renovating here is about knowing how to work within a block —with neighbours close by and a shared entrance hall— and squeezing out every metre: redistributing, renewing worn-out services, opening up kitchens and bringing compact bathrooms up to date. At Batecs we do it with an in-house team, a single site manager and a fixed quote, and we hand it over turnkey.
As an indicative market reference, renovating a flat here usually ranges between ≈€400-600/m² (refresh) and €900-1,300/m² (high end). The real price for your home is set after the technical visit, with no surprises.
