Full home renovations in Picassent: from the village townhouse to the villa with grounds
Picassent is one of the largest towns in l’Horta Sud: a sprawling town centre surrounded by urbanisations and country plots full of detached homes set among orange groves. We renovate both worlds —the lifelong family townhouse and the villa with a garden— with our own in-house team, a single site manager and a fixed written quote.

Picassent is no ordinary town in l’Horta Sud. With more than twenty thousand inhabitants and one of the largest municipal areas in the whole comarca —around eighty-six square kilometres— two very different worlds live side by side here: the dense, lifelong town centre, and a vast stretch of countryside dotted with urbanisations and plots among orange trees, where much of the town’s detached housing is concentrated. That dual reality completely changes how a renovation is approached, which is why a generic page for the city of Valencia falls short for Picassent.
When a family calls us from here, the first thing we ask is where the property is. A single-storey village townhouse in the centre —with its rear courtyard, thick walls and, often, longstanding damp— is nothing like a villa with grounds in one of the urbanisations within the municipality, such as El Pinar or Tancat de l’Alter, where the work also extends to the pool, the terrace and the garden. Each type of property calls for its own approach, its own trades and its own planning.
Batecs works in Picassent from our base in La Eliana, in the Camp de Túria. We’re not local to the town, and we say that plainly, but we have spent more than three decades renovating homes right across the province of Valencia and we know full well the kind of house you find here: the 1970s and 1980s construction of the town centre, and the country villa that has grown dated and needs a complete update. We come, we look at the property calmly and we tell you honestly what it really needs.
01 What we do here
Renovation services in Picassent
From the full renovation of a village townhouse to the refurbishment of a villa with a pool: all our services, with our own in-house team and a single site manager.
Full home renovations
We renovate the whole home —layout, services, bathrooms, kitchen and finishes— and hand it over ready to move into. See full home renovations.
Villa renovations
For the urbanisations and plots within the municipality: interior, façade, terrace, garden and pool, with continuity between inside and out. See villa renovations.
Kitchen renovations
Bespoke kitchens, open to the living room or closed off, with units, worktop, services and appliances ready to use. See kitchen renovations.
Bathroom renovations
We renovate the bathroom completely: swapping the bath for a shower, bespoke screens, hard-wearing materials and good ventilation. See bathroom renovations.
Swimming pool construction
New built-in pools and pool refurbishments —from mosaic tiling to porcelain— for the villas in the urbanisations of Picassent. See swimming pool construction.
Partial renovations
When you only want to renovate one area or work in phases, without tackling the whole house at once. Ideal for measured budgets. See partial renovations.
02 What changes here
What makes renovating in Picassent different
The size of the municipality and the mix of town centre and countryside mean there is no single recipe in Picassent. These are the issues that come up most often when we plan a project in the town, grouped according to where your property is.
The village townhouse in the town centre
The centre of Picassent is full of single-storey townhouses, often with an attic level, with a narrow frontage and great depth, a rear courtyard and thick load-bearing walls. They tend to suffer from rising damp at the foot of the walls, worn-out electrical and plumbing services, and a long-corridor layout that leaves rooms dark. Here the renovation has three aims: to deal with that damp at the root, to bring light into the interior by making the most of the courtyard, and to modernise the house without erasing the character that comes from its being a lifelong family home.
The villa in an urbanisation or on a plot
Beyond the town centre, the municipality of Picassent is full of urbanisations and plots among citrus groves —El Pinar, Tancat de l’Alter, Alteró de Mompoi and many homes scattered across the countryside. These are villas and houses with grounds where the renovation does not stop at the front door: the pool, the terrace and the garden are part of the brief from day one. We aim for the interior and the exterior to feel like a single space, with large openings onto the garden, flooring that flows out onto the terrace, and a pool that complements the house rather than sitting there as a dated add-on.
Distance, access and country utilities
Renovating a home scattered out on a plot has one detail you don’t see in the town centre: access and utilities. You have to organise the delivery of materials and the removal of rubble along tracks that are sometimes narrow, and check the state of the water, electricity and drainage, which on some plots rely on their own arrangements. We plan for this in advance so the work doesn’t grind to a halt halfway through over a utility nobody had checked.
Energy efficiency: detached homes call for it most
A detached home —both the townhouse between party walls and the standalone villa— gains a great deal from a renovation designed around insulation and efficiency. The works are the ideal moment to replace windows with thermally broken frames, reinforce the insulation of the roof and façade and consider aerothermal systems or underfloor heating. In a house exposed to the outside on several sides, that outlay is recovered in comfort and in every winter’s energy bill.
Permits from Picassent Town Hall
Almost any renovation of a certain scope goes through its paperwork at Picassent Town Hall. Work that doesn’t touch the structure or the façade is usually settled with a responsible declaration or notification; knocking down load-bearing partitions, extending the home or working on a façade or a new pool requires a licence. We advise you on which procedure applies to your case and prepare the documentation so the renovation is always above board.
03 Your property in Picassent
Choose your case
In such a large town, every property starts from a different point. Tap the case that most resembles yours.
Village townhouse
An older home in the centre with a courtyard. The key: treating damp, bringing light to the back and modernising without losing its character.
Villa with grounds
A detached home in an urbanisation or out in the country. The key: renovating the interior and joining it to the terrace, garden and pool.
Kitchen or bathroom
Renovating just one room. The key: ordering the space and choosing materials that withstand years of daily use.
Outdoors and pool
The terrace, porch, garden and pool of the plot. The key: waterproofing, paving and connecting it all to the house.
04 Investment
How much it costs to renovate a house or villa in Picassent
No two homes are the same, and in Picassent even less so, because a village townhouse and a villa with grounds have little in common. These market ranges are indicative and help you get your bearings before requesting a quote.
| Level of renovation | Indicative price | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Update (basic range) | ≈ €420-620/m² | Renovation of finishes, painting, flooring and a refresh of bathroom and kitchen, without major changes to the layout. |
| Mid-range house or villa renovation | ≈ €620-950/m² | Layout changes, new services, complete bathrooms and kitchen, joinery, improved insulation and good finishes. |
| High end / premium | ≈ €950-1,450+/m² | Full reconfiguration, aerothermal systems, the villa’s outdoor spaces and pool, high-end materials and bespoke interior design. |
Indicative market ranges in Picassent and l’Horta Sud for 2026, by way of reference. They do not constitute a quote or an offer. As a hypothetical example, a 160 m² mid-range villa would come in around €99,000-152,000, while a 110 m² village townhouse to be updated would sit well below that; the real cost depends on your property, the outdoor spaces and the finishes you choose.
What affects the price
In Picassent, five factors weigh most: the surface area and number of storeys, the starting condition (a townhouse with damp brings more preparatory work than a 1990s villa), whether or not the plot’s outdoor spaces and pool are included, the efficiency improvements (windows, insulation, aerothermal systems) and the level of finishes you decide on.
With so many variables in play, a range can never replace a real figure: that is why we visit your home, measure what is there and hand you a fixed quote broken down by item before we move a single partition. You know what you are going to pay from day one.

06 Real work in the area
Representative renovations in l’Horta and its surroundings
A sample of the kind of homes we transform in towns of l’Horta like Picassent, from the town centre to the plot.
Home with kitchen open to the living room
Full renovation of a home several decades old: we knocked down the wall between the kitchen and dining room to create a generous daytime area, completely renewed the plumbing and wiring and unified the flooring. Where there were once small, dark rooms, light now flows from side to side.
New bathroom with a generous shower
We replaced an old bath with a generous shower with a screen and a double basin, using large-format tiles with minimal grout lines for easier cleaning. We reinforced the ventilation to stop, at the root, the damp that was appearing on the ceiling.
Kitchen with an island in a villa
A bespoke kitchen with a central island and a hard-wearing worktop, designed for a detached home with grounds. The island acts as a boundary with the living room and opens a direct view towards the terrace and garden, connecting the interior with the outside.
These are representative examples of the kind of work we do in the area. You can find more completed projects in our gallery of projects and in the portfolio of villa renovations.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about renovations in Picassent
Do you also renovate in the urbanisations and country plots of Picassent?
Yes. A large share of Picassent’s housing is outside the town centre, in urbanisations and plots among citrus groves, and that is where we renovate the most villas and houses with grounds. Before we start, we sort out access for materials and rubble and check the plot’s utilities, which sometimes rely on their own arrangements, so the work doesn’t stop halfway through.
How much does it cost to renovate a house or villa in Picassent?
As an indicative market reference, an update of finishes runs around €420-620/m² and a high-end renovation with outdoor spaces and a pool can exceed €950-1,450/m². A village townhouse in the centre and a villa with grounds have very different costs. After the technical visit, we hand you a fixed quote itemised in detail.
How does renovating a village townhouse differ from renovating a villa with grounds?
In the village townhouse in the centre, the priority is usually to deal with rising damp, renew worn-out services and bring light to the back of the home by making the most of the courtyard. In the villa with grounds, beyond the interior, the pool, terrace and garden come into play, and we aim for the interior and exterior to work as a single space. We adapt the team and the planning to each type of property.
Do you take care of the villa’s pool and outdoor spaces?
Yes, and it’s best done as part of the same works. In a villa in Picassent the pool, the terrace and the garden are part of the project: non-slip paving, waterproofing and pool refurbishment or construction. Integrating it all avoids having to redo the exterior later and stops one trade blaming the previous one.
Do you need a permit from Picassent Town Hall to renovate?
It depends on the scope. A renovation that doesn’t touch the structure or façade is usually settled with a responsible declaration or works notification; knocking down load-bearing partitions, extending the home, working on a façade or building a new pool requires a licence. We advise you on the procedure that applies to your case and prepare the documentation so everything is above board.
How long does a full renovation in Picassent take?
It varies with the size and scope. A mid-sized house or flat usually takes between 8 and 12 weeks, and a villa with outdoor spaces and a pool can run to 14-16 weeks or more. In the proposal we give you a phased plan with realistic timescales that we keep to during the work.
Can you live in the house while the renovation is under way?
In a full renovation we advise against it, because work is done across the whole home at the same time and living alongside the building work becomes very uncomfortable. If it’s done in phases or only in one area, it’s sometimes feasible. During the visit we look at your specific situation and find the arrangement that causes you the least disruption.
Are you close to Picassent if any adjustment comes up?
We work from our base in La Eliana, in the Camp de Túria, and cover the whole of l’Horta, Picassent included. You have a single site manager for your renovation, so for any question or adjustment you always speak to the same person and we sort it out quickly.
In summary
Picassent is a large town in l’Horta Sud with a sprawling town centre and a huge municipality full of urbanisations and plots among orange trees. That is why we renovate two distinct realities: the village townhouse —damp, services and light— and the villa with grounds, where the pool, terrace and garden come into the project. We do it with our own in-house team, a single site manager and a fixed quote, and we hand it over turnkey.
As an indicative market reference, renovating in Picassent ranges from ≈€420-620/m² (update) to €950-1,450/m² (high end with outdoor spaces and efficiency). The real price for your home is set after the technical visit, with no surprises.
