Plastering walls in Ridderkerk
In Ridderkerk, the largest group of homes was built between 1945 and 1975 (40.5%). The walls there are usually brick or sand-lime brick with a gypsum plaster, often wallpapered several times. We match the bonding coat and type of plaster accordingly.
In the approximately 8,900 post-war reconstruction homes, walls are often covered in years of wallpaper and paint. The wallpaper comes off; solid paint can stay with a bonding coat on top.
In homes from 1975–1995 (27.3%), internal walls are often aerated concrete or plasterboard blocks. These are highly absorbent; a good primer coat is the difference between a smooth wall and a wall with shrinkage cracks.
Schedule and accessibility in Ridderkerk
We cover the entire municipality of Ridderkerk, including the neighbourhoods Slikkerveer, Drievliet, Bolnes, Oost and Centrum.
In a strongly urban municipality like Ridderkerk (CBS), we look in advance at parking and the route inside: narrow stairs and entrance halls determine how we bring in the materials.
In Ridderkerk, 24.3% of residents are 65 or older. When plastering in an occupied home, we then prefer to work room by room, so that the rest of the home remains usable.
Approximately 38% of homes in Ridderkerk belong to 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.
