Full home renovations in La Eliana, with our own team and a fixed price

If you are looking for a company for full home renovations in La Eliana, the first thing you should know is that we are local. Batecs is based in La Eliana and, from this town in the Camp de Túria, we have spent more than 35 years renovating homes in the town and its residential developments. We do not come in from outside just to throw together a quote: we know the ground, the type of property that predominates here, how the La Eliana town council works and what problems tend to appear when you lift the floor of a villa from the 1980s or 1990s.

La Eliana is a clearly residential, family-oriented town: it is dominated by villas and townhouses with a plot and a pool, spread between the town centre and well-established developments such as Montesol. Every year families arrive who are moving out from the city of Valencia in search of a detached home with a garden, more space and more peace and quiet, without giving up being a step away from the city thanks to the metro line. Many of those homes need a full renovation to adapt them to the way we live today: open-plan kitchens, refurbished bathrooms, better insulation and outdoor areas that are genuinely put to use.

Renovating in La Eliana has its particular features. A detached home loses far more energy than a flat —it has a façade, a roof and a floor in contact with the outside— so efficiency matters more. The outdoor areas (terrace, porch, garden and pool) are part of the project, not an add-on. And the works have to be coordinated with the utilities of each development and with the municipal licence. We have all of that sorted because it is our day-to-day, right here.

02 Knowing the ground

What makes renovating in La Eliana different

Renovating in a town of villas and townhouses is nothing like renovating a flat in the centre of Valencia. These are the particular features that come up most often in La Eliana and how we resolve them from the inside, because we work here every day.

Renovating a villa or a townhouse

Most of the jobs in La Eliana are full villa or townhouse renovations: homes of two or three floors, with a garage, a plot and, almost always, a pool. Here the renovation does not stop at the front door. We seek indoor-outdoor continuity —large openings, floors that extend out towards the terrace— and we usually open up the ground floor to bring kitchen, living room and dining room together into a single bright space looking onto the garden.

The outdoor areas and the pool matter

In a villa, the terrace, porch, garden and pool are lived in just as much as the interior. That is why we build them into the project from the outset: non-slip paving, terrace waterproofing, pool refurbishment (from glass mosaic to porcelain tile) or the construction of a new pool. Doing it all at once avoids redoing the work twice and stops each trade blaming the one before.

Energy efficiency: it shows more here

A detached home loses more energy than a flat, because it has a façade, a roof and a floor exposed to the outside. A full renovation is the best —and cheapest— opportunity to improve the insulation, replace windows with thermally broken frames and consider aerothermal systems or underfloor heating. In the villas of La Eliana, the saving on heating and cooling really shows on the bill.

Extensions and modernisation

Many families arriving from Valencia buy a villa that has become dated and want to modernise or extend it: enclosing a porch, adding a bedroom, redoing the bathrooms and kitchen. We assess what is feasible given the plot and the regulations, and we plan it so that the result is consistent with the rest of the home, not a patch-up job.

Renovating in the developments of La Eliana: Montesol and Montealegre

A good share of the homes in La Eliana are not in the town centre but in its residential developments, and each one has its own character. In Montealegre, one of the most sought-after areas in the town, the predominant homes are detached villas on large plots —in many cases over 900 m²— with a garden, a private pool and, often, a very generous main floor; these are homes from the 1980s and 1990s, next to the international school and a step away from the metro, that today need their services updated, the daytime living area opened up and the bathrooms and kitchen modernised without losing that sense of space. In Montesol and the other established developments, villas and townhouses with a plot sit side by side, where the challenge is usually to gain continuity between inside and out and to improve the efficiency of a home that is very exposed to the climate.

Renovating within a development adds details that are best sorted out from the start: access for machinery and removal of rubble, the utilities and, in some cases, the development’s own networks, and the internal rules on working hours and building works. As we work in La Eliana every day, we know how each area works —Montealegre, Montesol and the rest— and we plan the works so they progress without surprises, both inside and outside your plot.

La Eliana town council licence and utilities

Most full renovations require a licence or a responsible declaration depending on the type of works, and we take care of the paperwork with the La Eliana town council. We also coordinate the utilities —water, electricity and, in some developments, the community’s own networks— so the works progress without stoppages. Knowing how each development in La Eliana works, including Montesol, saves us (and saves you) headaches and weeks of waiting.
