Renovation in Felanitx and Portocolom
Felanitx is sandstone town houses, deep in plan, attached on both sides and often with rooms four metres high; Portocolom is apartments and villas around a sheltered harbour. The common projects are complete refurbishments of the town houses, heating and insulation sized for the volume, installations replaced, kitchens and bathrooms, and harbour-side apartments refitted for the season.
Describe the house and its ceiling heights, and we pass the request to renovation companies that work on both sides of the municipality.

Renovating a town house in Felanitx
A room four metres high has half as much again to heat, cool and light as the same room at three, and considerably more wall to finish. Quotes across this island are written per square metre because that is how property is sold, but the work in a house like this follows the volume, and that is one reason a price here surprises people who have renovated elsewhere.
It shows up everywhere once you look for it. Scaffolding inside to reach a ceiling. Plaster and paint by the area rather than by the room count. Cooling sized for the air rather than for the floor. Lighting and joinery that have to work at a scale ordinary products are not made for.
What you get in return is the reason to buy one. Rooms of this proportion cannot be built new at any sensible cost, and the generosity is the whole character of the house. Spend on the parts that make the volume usable rather than on subdividing it away.
Common renovation issues in Felanitx houses
What a tall sandstone room changes in the work:
Heating and cooling by volume
Sized for the air rather than the floor area, with insulation that matters more when there is more air to condition.
Finishes by area
Plaster, paint and internal access to reach ceilings, which is a real cost line the floor plan does not show.
Beams spanning wide rooms
Timber checked where it bears, in a structure of local sandstone that is often in the finishes too.
The stair and large pieces
Whether the stair will take joinery and fittings at the sizes these rooms need at all.
Lighting at four metres
Fittings and controls that work at height, decided before the plaster rather than after.

How much does renovation cost in Felanitx?
Most of the work in a tall house follows the volume and the surface area rather than the floor, so a quote here is higher than the square metres suggest and honest for it. More wall, more ceiling to reach and more air to condition, none of which appears in a price per square metre.
Heating a house like this is a question of the envelope before the boiler: insulating what can be insulated and treating the volume honestly. A company that starts with the output rather than the envelope is worth questioning.
Compare several quotes for the same written scope, and ask each how it has measured the work.

Is a tall sandstone house in Felanitx worth renovating?
Yes, because the proportion cannot be bought new. What the house needs – heating that respects the volume, installations, finishes at scale – costs more than a low house of the same floor area, and what it gives back is the reason people want one.
Why is a Felanitx renovation quote higher than the square metres suggest?
Because most of the work follows the volume and the surface area rather than the floor. A tall room has more wall, more ceiling to reach and more air to condition, none of which appears in a price per square metre.
Should the high rooms in a Felanitx house be divided horizontally?
It gains floor area and it usually loses what makes the house worth having. Occasionally a mezzanine in one room works well; doing it throughout tends to produce a bigger house that nobody likes as much.
How do you heat a four-metre room?
By treating the volume honestly and by insulating what you can, rather than by adding more output to a leaky envelope. Any company used to these houses will start with the envelope, and one that starts with the boiler is worth questioning.
How long does refurbishing a tall Felanitx house take?
Months, because the whole interior comes back to the structure and goes in again at a scale that slows every trade. An apartment at Portocolom is a much shorter job, and one that has to land before the summer.
