Plastering walls in Katwijk
In Katwijk, the largest group of homes was built between 1945 and 1975 (32.9%). The walls there are typically brick or sand-lime brick with gypsum plaster, often wallpapered multiple times. We match the bonding layer and type of plaster accordingly.
In the approximately 9,100 post-war reconstruction homes, walls are often covered with years of wallpaper and paint. The wallpaper comes off; solid paint can stay with a bonding layer on top.
The newer homes in Katwijk are often delivered ready for wallpapering. If you want to paint, plastering ready for painting is the step in between; most convenient before the floor goes in.

- Or whether the wallpaper-ready new-build level needs to be brought to paint-ready.

Questions about plastering walls in Katwijk
Do you plaster walls throughout Katwijk?
Yes, throughout the municipality of Katwijk, including Rijnsburg and Valkenburg. Send photos and you'll hear the price and schedule.
Does the wallpaper need to come off first?
Yes. Plastering over wallpaper goes wrong: the layer comes loose with it. You can remove it yourself or we'll do it.
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.
Do sockets and switches need to be removed?
The cover plates come off, so we can plaster neatly up to the mounting box. After drying, they go back on.
How long does a plastered wall need to dry?
About a week per centimetre of layer thickness; a thin finishing layer quicker.
