What we encounter in Gouda
In Gouda, the largest group of homes was built between 1945 and 1975 (29.9%). 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.
Gouda has around 7,600 homes from before 1945, often with lime plaster on the walls. We don't simply apply a hard gypsum layer over that: we choose a suitable material or remove the old layer down to the brick.
In homes from 1975–1995 (29.2%), internal walls are often made of aerated concrete or plasterboard blocks. These are highly absorbent; a good primer is the difference between a smooth wall and a wall with hairline cracks.

We come throughout the municipality of Gouda, including the districts Plaswijck, Goverwelle, Noord, Kort Haarlem and Bloemendaal.
Gouda is very highly urbanised according to CBS. In the busier streets we arrange in advance how the plastering materials get inside and where we can load and unload.
Around Gouda we also work in Waddinxveen, Bodegraven-Reeuwijk and Zuidplas.

Questions about wall plastering in Gouda
Do you plaster walls throughout Gouda?
Yes, throughout the entire municipality of Gouda, including Plaswijck, Goverwelle and Noord. 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.
How long does a plastered wall need to dry?
About a week per centimetre of layer thickness; a thin finishing layer quicker.
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.
