Founded on a foundation of hands-on lime and clay plastering, ECS was established a decade ago, specialising in natural damp treatment, traditional plastering, and sprayed-cork insulation in southern Spain.
Today, BioReforma SL has taken over operations in the south, while ECS in Asturias focuses on historic restorations, land restoration, and the distribution of natural insulation, low-energy heating, hot water, and solar systems. We strive to bridge the gap between historic building conservation and modern NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) standards, providing the advice and materials required to create a healthy, energy-independent home.
Our whole-house approach begins with a breathable “eco-envelope” made from natural materials such as Diasen solid wall renders, Steico wood fibre, carbon-negative hemp, and clay or lime plasters.
Whether you are restoring a traditional Spanish ruin or building a state-of-the-art new home complete with luxury spa hardware, we ensure your project is flawlessly executed, remains damp-free, is highly efficient, and, if needed, is fully self-sufficient.
Our approach is simple: straight talking, stress-free, and absolutely zero bullshit, using tried-and-tested solutions with over 30 years of experience in very high-end heritage restoration.
We bridge the gap between historic building restoration and modern, ultra-efficient NZEB standards. At ECS, we serve as your nationwide consultancy and specialist distributor, providing the expert guidance and high-performance materials required to create a healthy, energy-independent property anywhere in Spain.
Our whole-house approach begins with a breathable “eco-envelope” using natural materials like Diasen solid wall renders, Steico wood fibre, carbon-negative hemp, and clay plasters. To ensure these technical solutions are perfectly implemented, Bioreforma SL—our dedicated installation partner—executes all of our projects nationwide. Together, we seamlessly integrate advanced climate control, including carbon mat heating, high-efficiency heat pumps, and smart ventilation, all powered by custom solar and battery systems.
Whether you are restoring a traditional Spanish ruin or building a state-of-the-art new home complete with luxury spa hardware, we ensure your project is flawlessly executed, remaining damp-free, highly efficient, and fully self-sufficient.
