Albal is one of those l’Horta Sud towns where life happens out in the street: neighbours who greet each other, local shops and families who put down roots to stay. It sits right beside Catarroja, Beniparrell and Silla, a stone’s throw from Valencia, and that explains its mix of housing. Here no single type of home dominates; rather, three live side by side, door to door: the family terraced house of two or three storeys with a courtyard, the classic old town home and the flat from the developments that grew up around the centre.
That trait —the weight of the terraced house and the home with a courtyard— is what most sets Albal apart from its neighbours and what most shapes a renovation. Working on a single floor is not the same as spreading bathrooms and plumbing across three levels and carrying materials up a staircase; nor is it the same to have a courtyard or a roof terrace that needs to be properly waterproofed so it doesn’t draw damp inside. Knowing these details before you start is the difference between a calm project and one full of surprises.
At Batecs we work in Albal from our base in La Eliana, with more than three decades renovating homes across l’Horta and the Valencia area. We come to see your home, we listen to you and we give it to you straight, whether what you need is a full renovation or you simply want to update the kitchen or the bathroom. And, as Albal was one of the towns affected by the DANA of October 2024, we also lend a hand with the recovery of ground floors that were under water, with the calm and respect that work deserves.
01 What we do
Renovation services in Albal
From the complete renovation of a terraced house to a new kitchen or the repair of a ground floor: we cover the whole project cycle, with our own team and a single point of contact.
Full renovations
We renovate the entire home —layout, services, bathrooms, kitchen and finishes—, including those spread across several floors, delivered turnkey.
Kitchen renovations
Bespoke kitchens, open to the living room or closed off, designed for the ground floor of the terraced house that opens onto the courtyard or the family dining area.
Bathroom renovations
From swapping the bath for a comfortable shower to rebuilding a complete bathroom, spread across floors in the homes that need it.
Recovery after the DANA
Drying out, repair, services that were under water, damp and floors to bring a ground floor back into use, without rushing.
Courtyards and roof terraces
Waterproofing and paving for courtyards, terraces and roof terraces, which in Albal take centre stage and are the first way damp gets in.
Damp and services
Renewal of plumbing and electrics, treatment of damp and new floors in old town homes and flats with worn-out services.
If you’re not sure how far you want to go, during the visit we point you in the right direction without overselling: sometimes what really suits you is a phased renovation rather than tackling everything at once.
What changes here
What’s special about renovating in Albal
Every home in Albal starts from a different point. These are the issues that weigh most when planning the project and squaring the budget in the town.
The terraced house and the home with a courtyard: Albal’s hallmark
The family terraced house is the home that best defines Albal: two or three storeys, a garage below, bedrooms above and, very often, a courtyard or a small roof terrace. Renovating it takes know-how. You have to work out where the bathrooms fall on each floor so as not to cross drainpipes, decide whether it’s worth opening up the ground floor to join the kitchen, dining area and the way out to the courtyard, and resolve the staircase, which is usually the bottleneck for both circulation and the works. When it’s planned sensibly, a multi-storey home gains a huge amount in light and comfort without having to touch the structure.
Courtyards and roof terraces: waterproof before you decorate
In Albal the courtyard and the roof terrace are lived in, but they are also the first way damp gets in when they aren’t properly sorted out. Before paving or laying anything attractive, we check the falls, the drains and the waterproofing, because a roof terrace that leaks ends up showing as a stain on the ceiling of the bedroom below. Doing it in order —first the membrane and the drainage, then the paving— avoids tearing up the same thing twice and is one of the investments that bring the most peace of mind in the long run.
Old town homes and flats: services that are due for renewal
In the old town of Albal there are homes that are quite a few years old, where it’s worth looking first at rising damp and the condition of the structure before deciding on finishes. And in the flats in the developments around the centre the priority is usually the same: renewing plumbing and electrics that have already run their course, gaining light by opening up the kitchen and making the most of every square metre. These are rewarding projects, because with a more up-to-date layout the same home feels completely different to live in.
Licences at Albal Town Hall
Almost any renovation of a certain scale goes through a procedure at Albal Town Hall. Works that don’t touch the structure or the façade are usually handled as minor works or a notification, while taking down load-bearing walls, extending, or working on the façade or roof requires a major works licence. We take care of guiding you and preparing the paperwork so the renovation is in order from day one, including when it comes to returning a home to use after water damage.

03 Investment
How much a full renovation costs in Albal
No two homes are alike, and in Albal it makes a big difference whether we’re talking about a multi-storey terraced house or a single-floor flat. These market ranges are indicative; we set the real price after the technical visit, with every item in writing.
| Level of renovation | Indicative price | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Update (basic range) | ≈ €400-600/m² | Renewal of finishes, painting, floors and a refresh of bathroom and kitchen, with no major layout changes. |
| Mid-range renovation (flat or terraced house) | ≈ €600-950/m² | Layout changes, new services, complete bathrooms and kitchen, joinery and good finishes. In a terraced house, bathrooms spread across floors. |
| High-end / premium full renovation | ≈ €950-1,400+/m² | Full redistribution, air conditioning, courtyard or roof terrace resolved, high-end materials and bespoke interior design. |
Indicative market ranges in Albal for 2026, by way of reference. They do not constitute a quote or an offer. As a hypothetical example, a 140 m² mid-range terraced house would be in the region of €84,000-133,000, but the real cost depends on your home, the number of floors, its condition and the finishes you choose.
What affects the price
In Albal the main factors are the floor area and the number of storeys (a terraced house spreads bathrooms and services and means carrying materials up), the starting condition, the courtyard or roof terrace work that forms part of the project, the extent of the changes to layout and services, and the level of finishes. In a home that was affected by the DANA, what moves the figure most is how much repair and services work is needed before you can even start thinking about finishes.
That’s why, before talking figures, we go and see your home in Albal, count the floors and check the condition of the courtyard, roof terrace and services. Only then do we give you a fixed quote, itemised in detail, so that what you sign on day one is what you pay at the end.

05 Real projects
Renovations in Albal and l’Horta Sud
A sample of the kind of homes we transform in Albal and its surroundings, both in everyday renovation and in recovery work.
A family terraced house rearranged
A representative project in the area: we opened up the ground floor to join kitchen, dining area and the way out to the courtyard, added a second bathroom on the upper floor and completely renewed the plumbing and electrics. The family gained a bright day area where before there were narrow, closed-off rooms.
A comfortable, long-lasting bathroom
Swapping the bath for a spacious shower with a screen and a double basin, using materials that stand up to daily use. We reinforced the ventilation to keep future damp at bay and left a practical space for the household routine.
A recovered ground floor
A representative recovery project after water damage: thorough drying out and repair, a new electrical installation, treatment of damp and floors. We tackled it in phases, checking that everything was dry before closing anything up, to return the home to use with guarantees and no going back.
You’ll find more finished homes —kitchens, bathrooms, terraced houses and complete homes— in our gallery of projects.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about renovations in Albal
Do you renovate multi-storey terraced houses in Albal?
Yes, it’s one of the things we do most in Albal. In a terraced house we plan where each bathroom falls on each floor so as not to cross drainpipes, we assess whether it’s worth opening up the ground floor towards the courtyard and we resolve the staircase, which usually shapes both circulation and the works. We work with a single point of contact so that coordinating several floors doesn’t turn into a headache.
What kinds of renovations do you carry out in Albal?
All sorts: full renovations of terraced houses, old town homes and flats, kitchens, bathrooms, phased renovations, waterproofing of courtyards and roof terraces and recovery work after the DANA. We tailor the scope to what your home really needs, without padding it out.
Do you work on homes affected by the DANA in Albal?
Yes. Albal was one of the towns affected by the DANA of October 2024 and we help with the recovery of ground floors that were under water: drying out, repair, new services, damp and floors. We do it with care and respect, checking that everything is dry before closing up the finishes, and without committing to a fixed price or timescale until we’ve had a good look at the starting condition.
How much does a full renovation cost in Albal?
As an indicative market reference, it usually ranges from around €400-600/m² for an update of finishes to €950-1,400/m² or more for a high-end full renovation. In a terraced house, the fact that bathrooms and services are spread across floors plays a part. It depends on the floor area, the starting condition and the finishes; after the technical visit we provide a fixed, itemised quote.
Do you need to waterproof the courtyard or roof terrace before renovating?
It’s almost always worth checking. In Albal the courtyard and the roof terrace are the first way damp gets in, so we check the falls, the drains and the waterproofing before paving. Sorting out the membrane and the drainage first, and then the paving, prevents a stain appearing later on the ceiling of the floor below and having to tear it all up again.
Do I need a licence to renovate in Albal, and do you handle it?
It depends on the scope. A renovation that doesn’t touch the structure or the façade is usually processed as minor works or a notification at Albal Town Hall; taking down load-bearing walls, extending, or working on the façade or roof requires a major works licence. We guide you and prepare the paperwork so the works are in order.
How long does a renovation take in Albal?
It depends on the size and the scope. As a guide, a medium-sized flat is usually between 8 and 12 weeks, and a multi-storey terraced house a little longer because of the spread of services. In recovery work after the DANA, the timescale is set by the drying out and the starting condition, so we pin it down after the visit and not before.
Can I keep living at home during the renovation?
When we renovate the whole home at once it’s usually difficult to live alongside the works. On the other hand, if we plan it in phases or by floors —something very common in the terraced houses of Albal— it’s sometimes possible. We look into it with you during the visit and find the approach that disrupts your day-to-day life the least.
In short
Albal is a family-friendly town in l’Horta Sud, next to Catarroja, Beniparrell and Silla, with a clear weight of the terraced house and the home with a courtyard alongside the old town and the flats. That’s why a renovation here calls for thinking about several floors, spreading bathrooms and services, and properly waterproofing courtyards and roof terraces. After the DANA of October 2024, many ground floors have also needed recovery work, which we tackle with calm and respect. We do it with our own team, a single site manager and a fixed quote, and we deliver it turnkey.
As an indicative market reference, a renovation in Albal usually ranges from ≈€400-600/m² (update) to €950-1,400/m² (high-end full renovation). We set the real price after the technical visit, with no surprises.
