What we encounter in The Hague
How a wall should be plastered depends on the brick and what's on it. In The Hague, 38.9% of homes were built before 1945, with brick walls with lime plaster, often with old layers of paint and wallpaper.
In The Hague's 107,000 pre-war homes there is often lime plaster. That is softer than gypsum; simply applying a hard layer over it can later lead to cracking or detachment. We choose a material that suits it, or strip off the old layer.
In The Hague, 58% of homes are rented. As a tenant, consult your landlord first before having walls plastered.
Schedule and accessibility in The Hague
We come throughout the municipality of The Hague, including the districts Laakkwartier and Spoorwijk, Schildersbuurt, Bouwlust, Ypenburg and Wateringse Veld.
In a very highly urbanised municipality like The Hague (CBS), we check parking and access routes beforehand: narrow stairs and entrance halls determine how we bring in materials.
Approximately 30% of the homes in The Hague belong to a housing association. If it concerns damage to the walls in a housing association property, report it to the association first: repair after a leak often falls under their maintenance.
In 2024, 1,802 new-build homes were added in The Hague (CBS). Walls in new-builds are usually ready for wallpapering on completion; finishing them more smoothly is easiest before the floor goes in.
Just outside The Hague, in Rijswijk, Leidschendam-Voorburg and Wassenaar, we also plaster walls; each of those municipalities has its own page with housing figures.

Do you plaster walls throughout all of The Hague?
Yes, throughout the municipality of The Hague, including Laakkwartier and Spoorwijk, Schildersbuurt and Bouwlust. Send photos and you'll hear the price and schedule.
Can you plaster over wallpaper?
No, wallpaper must come off first, otherwise the new layer will come loose with it. You can do that yourself or leave it to us.
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.
I rent. Am I allowed to have the walls plastered?
Discuss it in advance with your landlord. Smooth, ready-for-painting plastering is usually well received.
My wall has old lime plaster. Can gypsum go on top?
Not just like that. We check how solid the lime is and choose a material that adheres to it, or remove the old layer.
