Wall plastering in Gorinchem
How a wall should be plastered depends on the brick and what's on it. In Gorinchem, 30.1% of homes were built between 1945 and 1975, with walls of brick or sand-lime brick with plaster, often wallpapered multiple times.
Post-1945 houses in Gorinchem (up to 1975 around 5,500) usually have gypsum plaster that has often been wallpapered or painted. We start by removing wallpaper and testing adhesion.
In properties from 1975–1995 (27%), partition walls are often made of aerated concrete or gypsum blocks. These are highly absorbent; a good primer is the difference there between a smooth wall and a wall with shrinkage cracks.
The newer homes in Gorinchem are often delivered ready for wallpapering. If you want to paint, then plastering ready for painting is the step in between; most convenient before the floor goes in.
If you rent (50% of homes in Gorinchem are rented), ask the landlord's permission in advance for plastering work, especially if it concerns decorative plaster.

What does plastering walls in Gorinchem cost?
A price per m² for plastering is not listed in our rates, because the substrate differs so much from property to property. You therefore receive a tailored quote: after photos and measurements, or after a short on-site assessment. You hear that price in advance.
What mainly determines the price in Gorinchem:
- The number of m² of wall and how many reveals around windows and doors.
- Wallpaper or loose plaster that needs to be removed first.
- Or whether the wallpaper-ready new-build level needs to be brought to paint-ready.
- The finish: ready for wallpapering, ready for painting or extra smooth.
