What we encounter in Delft
In Delft, the largest group of homes was built between 1945 and 1975 (31.1%). The walls there are usually brick or sand-lime brick with gypsum plaster, often wallpapered several times. We match the bonding layer and type of plaster accordingly.
Delft has around 12,000 pre-1945 homes, often with lime plaster on the walls. We don't simply put a hard plaster layer over that: we choose a suitable material or remove the old layer down to the brick.
Homes from 1945–1975, around 17,000 in Delft, often have walls with multiple layers of wallpaper and latex. Wallpaper must be removed first; well-adhered paint can remain after a bonding coat.
In Delft, 63% of homes are rented. As a tenant, please consult your landlord before having walls plastered.
Good to know in Delft
We cover the entire municipality of Delft, including the districts of Voorhof, Buitenhof, Wippolder, Binnenstad and Hof van Delft.
In a very highly urbanised municipality such as Delft (CBS), we check parking and the route inside beforehand: narrow stairs and entrance halls determine how we bring in the materials.
Approximately 42% of homes in Delft are owned by a housing association. If it concerns damage to walls in a housing association property, report it to the association first: repairs after a leak often fall under their maintenance.
We also plaster walls just outside Delft, in Pijnacker-Nootdorp, Rijswijk and Midden-Delfland; each of those municipalities has its own page with the housing figures.

How much plastering costs depends on what is currently on the walls. We therefore work with a tailored price: send photos and the measurements, or we'll come and have a look. You know the price before anything happens.
What mainly determines the price in Delft:

- Wallpaper or loose plaster that needs to be removed first.
- The finish: ready for wallpapering, ready for painting or extra smooth.
Questions about wall plastering in Delft
Do you plaster walls throughout all of Delft?
Yes, throughout the municipality of Delft, including Voorhof, Buitenhof and Wippolder. Send photos and you'll hear the price and schedule.
Who removes the old wallpaper?
You can do that yourself to save money, or we'll include it. We don't plaster over wallpaper: the layer will come loose later.
Ready for painting or ready for wallpapering?
Ready for painting if you want to paint, ready for wallpapering if wallpaper or lining paper is going on.
Can I paint straight after plastering?
No, first the wall must be completely dry: evenly light in colour. Then a diluted first coat of latex, then the finishing coats.
How long does a plastered wall need to dry?
About a week per centimetre of layer thickness; a thin finishing layer quicker.
