Alaquàs has a personality all its own that sets it apart within l’Horta Oest. Although it has merged with Aldaia to form a single built-up area, what defines Alaquàs is its genuine old town: the cluster of buildings around the Castell-Palau, a 16th-century Renaissance palace listed as a Site of Cultural Interest and the town’s undisputed emblem. Around it survive traces of the old Moorish quarter, the Christian core and the much-loved Barri dels Ollers, the potters’ square that preserves some of the town’s most traditional scenes.
That dual reality shapes the kind of renovation each home calls for. In the historic heart we find town houses and ground-floor homes with thick walls, plenty of history and the ailments that come with age: rising damp, outdated installations and rabbit-warren layouts. In the neighbourhoods that grew up around them, apartment-block flats from the decades of expansion predominate, alongside more recent townhouses. Renovating here is almost always a balancing act: modernising for life today without erasing the identity of a home with character.
At Batecs we have spent more than 35 years carrying out full renovations across Valencia and l’Horta. We are not from Alaquàs, but we work here regularly from our base in La Eliana, and we know well what it means to work on an old house while respecting what is worth keeping. We do it the way we always have: with our own in-house team, a fixed quote, and the calm of those who know that behind every time-worn wall lies an important decision for a family.
01 What we do
Renovation services in Alaquàs
From the complete restoration of a house beside the Castell to updating an apartment-block flat or renovating a single room. We cover every aspect of your home renovation in Alaquàs.
Full renovations
We renovate the whole home —layout, installations, bathrooms, kitchen and finishes— on a turnkey basis, whether it’s an older home in the centre or a flat you want left like new.
Kitchen renovations
Bespoke kitchens, open to the living room or closed off, with units, worktop, installations and appliances ready for everyday life.
Bathroom renovations
Bathrooms renovated from top to bottom —shower, screen, sanitaryware and tiling— sorting out the ventilation in flats and old-town houses so the damp doesn’t come back.
Old-house restoration
Homes in the historic centre: we treat rising damp, check the structure and renew the installations without losing the soul of the house.
Partial renovations
When you only want to renovate one area or move forward in phases, without turning the whole home upside down at once or blowing the budget.
Painting and interior design
The final touch that gives the renovation its coherence: paint, wood and natural finishes that sit in harmony with the home’s character.
If you’re not sure how far to go, we’ll tell you frankly during the site visit, even when the most sensible thing is to do less than planned. First understand the house, then decide.
What changes here
What’s distinctive about renovating in Alaquàs
Every home in Alaquàs starts from a different situation depending on where it is and what era it belongs to. These are the factors that weigh most when planning the works and fine-tuning the budget in the town.
The historic centre, around the Castell
Renovating around the Castell-Palau, in the old Moorish quarter or near the Barri dels Ollers is nothing like renovating a recent flat. We’re talking about town houses with load-bearing walls, often narrow and deep, with internal courtyards and timber or old-style beam-and-block floors. Here the first thing is to understand the structure before touching anything: working out which partitions are holding the building up, how the loads are distributed and where the light comes in. The challenge is to modernise the home —new bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen, up-to-date installations— while keeping what gives it character, such as a vault, a brick arch or a salvageable hydraulic-tile floor.
Rising damp and restoration
In older homes in the centre, rising damp on the ground floors is almost a constant: the wall draws moisture up from the ground and you get patches, salts and finishes that flake away. It’s not enough to chip off and repaint; you have to cut off the source with the right treatment and give the wall time to breathe before closing up the finishes. We approach it methodically, with no shortcuts, because covering it up in a hurry only guarantees the problem will return.
Apartment-block flats and townhouses
Beyond the old town, the neighbourhoods of Alaquàs are dominated by flats from the 1960s to the 1990s in blocks, with worn-out installations, closed-off kitchens and little insulation, along with more modern townhouses. In the flats, the priority is usually renewing the plumbing and electrics, opening the kitchen to the living room to gain light and making the most of every metre; in the townhouses, it’s updating bathrooms, improving thermal comfort and giving the rooms a sense of flow.
Permits and site access
Any renovation of a certain scale in Alaquàs requires its paperwork with the Ajuntament d’Alaquàs: a renovation that doesn’t touch the structure or façade can usually be handled with a responsible declaration or notice of works, while working on load-bearing walls, extending or touching the façade calls for a licence. In the historic centre, you also have to reckon with narrow streets that affect the delivery of materials and the removal of rubble; we plan this in advance so as not to disturb the neighbours. We take care of advising you and handling the paperwork so the works are always above board.

03 Investment
How much a full renovation costs in Alaquàs
No two homes are the same, least of all when old houses and modern flats are mixed together. These market ranges are indicative: we always set the real price after the site visit, with the items itemised in writing.
| Level of renovation | Indicative price | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Update (entry-level range) | ≈ €400-600/m² | Renewal of finishes, paint, flooring and a freshen-up of bathroom and kitchen, without major changes to the layout. |
| Mid-range renovation | ≈ €600-900/m² | Moderate layout changes, new installations, complete bathrooms and kitchen, joinery and good finishes. |
| High-end / premium full renovation | ≈ €900-1,300+/m² | Complete redistribution, air conditioning, high-end materials and bespoke interior design. This is also where the thorough restoration of an older home falls. |
Indicative market ranges in Alaquàs for 2026, for reference only. They do not constitute a quote or an offer. As a hypothetical example, a 95 m² mid-range flat would be in the region of €57,000-85,500, but the real cost depends on your home, its condition and the finishes you choose.
What affects the price
What weighs most is the square metres to be renovated, the starting point of the home (an older house in the centre usually demands more preliminary work on structure and damp), the scope of the changes to layout and installations, and the finishes you decide on. In the historic centre, site access and the preservation of original features worth recovering also play a part.
That’s why we prefer to give you a fixed quote after the site visit, with the items itemised, rather than an off-the-shelf price that later doesn’t fit your home. You’ll have a clear figure before the works begin.

05 Real projects
Renovations in Alaquàs and l’Horta
A sample of the kind of homes we transform in Alaquàs and across l’Horta, both flats and old houses with character.
A neighbourhood flat with an open-plan kitchen
A representative project for the area: an apartment-block flat several decades old, fully renovated. We opened the kitchen to the living room, completely replaced the plumbing and electrics and unified the flooring. The home gained a bright, open living area where before there were compartmented, dark rooms.
A renovated, long-lasting bathroom
A representative project in l’Horta: swapping the bathtub for a spacious shower with a screen, a wood panel and materials built to last. We reinforced the ventilation to prevent damp in the future and left a comfortable, warm space for everyday use.
An old house brought up to date
A representative restoration project in l’Horta: a load-bearing-wall house brought up to date with damp treatment, new installations and a contemporary kitchen. We kept the features that gave the home its character and modernised what needed it, without rushing and making sure everything was dry before closing up the finishes.
You can see more completed work in our gallery of projects, alongside kitchen, bathroom and whole-home renovations.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about renovations in Alaquàs
Do you renovate old houses in the historic centre of Alaquàs?
Yes, it’s one of the jobs we know best. In homes around the Castell and in the old neighbourhoods, we always start from a study of the load-bearing wall structure and the treatment of rising damp. From there we modernise bathrooms, kitchen and installations while taking care to keep the features that give the house its character, such as arches, vaults or salvageable original floors.
What types of renovation do you carry out in Alaquàs?
We do everything: full renovations of apartment-block flats and old-town houses, kitchens, bathrooms, phased partial renovations and the restoration of older homes. We adapt the scope to what your home really needs and to its location within the town.
Do I need a permit to renovate in Alaquàs, and do you handle it?
It depends on the scope. A renovation that doesn’t touch the structure or façade can usually be handled with a responsible declaration or notice of works to the Ajuntament d’Alaquàs; working on load-bearing walls, extending or touching the façade requires a licence. We advise you and handle the paperwork so the works are always above board.
How much does a full renovation cost in Alaquàs?
As an indicative market reference, it usually ranges from around €400-600/m² for a refresh of finishes to €900-1,300/m² or more for a high-end full renovation or a thorough restoration of an old house. The figure varies with the square metres, the starting condition and the finishes chosen. After visiting the home, we’ll give you a fixed quote with every item broken down.
How do you treat rising damp in a house in the centre?
No shortcuts. First we identify the source and apply a treatment that cuts off the moisture rising up the wall; then we let the wall breathe and dry out before closing up the finishes. Chipping off and repainting without treating the source only means the problem comes back, so we prefer to do it properly once.
Do you also work with flats and townhouses, not just old houses?
Of course. In Alaquàs we renovate many apartment-block flats from the 1960s to the 1990s —renewing installations, opening the kitchen to the living room and gaining light— and more recent townhouses, where we usually update bathrooms, improve thermal comfort and give the rooms a sense of flow.
How long does a renovation take in Alaquàs?
It varies with the size and the scope. As a guide, a mid-sized flat is around 8 to 12 weeks. In an old house in the historic centre, the timescale depends a great deal on the condition of the structure and on the damp drying out, so we prefer to confirm it after the visit rather than promising a fixed date in advance.
Do you work in Alaquàs if your base is in La Eliana?
Yes, absolutely. We operate from La Eliana but work regularly across the whole of l’Horta, Alaquàs included. We’ve spent more than 35 years renovating in Valencia and its surrounding area, so the distance is no obstacle to visiting you, coordinating the works and responding quickly.
In summary
Alaquàs is a town in l’Horta Oest with an old town full of character —the area around the Castell-Palau, the Moorish quarter and the Barri dels Ollers— alongside neighbourhoods of apartment-block flats and townhouses. We renovate in both worlds: we restore old houses, treating structure and damp without losing their identity, and we update flats and townhouses for life today. We do it with our own in-house team, a single site manager and a fixed quote, from our base in La Eliana, and we hand it over turnkey.
As an indicative market reference, a renovation in Alaquàs usually ranges between ≈€400-600/m² (an update) and €900-1,300/m² (a high-end full renovation or a thorough restoration). We settle the final figure once we’ve seen the home, with no last-minute surprises.
