Plastering walls in Schiedam
In Schiedam, the largest group of homes was built between 1945 and 1975 (30.8%). The walls there are usually brick or sand-lime brick with gypsum plaster, often wallpapered multiple times. We tailor the bonding coat and type of plaster accordingly.
Schiedam has around 11,000 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.
Homes from 1945–1975, around 12,000 in Schiedam, often have walls with multiple layers of wallpaper and latex. Wallpaper must be removed first; well-adhered paint can remain after a bonding coat.
If you rent (51% of homes in Schiedam are rental), ask the landlord's permission beforehand for plastering work, especially if it involves decorative plaster.
Practical: plastering walls in Schiedam
Whether you live in Nieuwland, West or Oost or elsewhere in Schiedam: the approach is the same, we coordinate the schedule with your address.
In a very highly urbanised municipality such as Schiedam (CBS), we check parking and the route inside beforehand: narrow stairs and entrance halls determine how we bring in the materials.
Approximately 31% of homes in Schiedam are owned by a housing association. If there is damage to the walls in a housing-association property, report it to the association first: repairs after a leak often fall under their maintenance.
Just outside Schiedam, in Vlaardingen, Midden-Delfland and Rotterdam, we also plaster walls; each of those municipalities has its own page with housing figures.

What does plastering walls in Schiedam 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 the price depends on:
- The number of m² of wall and how many reveals around windows and doors.
- Wallpaper or loose plaster that needs to be removed first.
- The finish: ready for wallpapering, ready for painting or extra smooth.

Questions about plastering walls in Schiedam
Do you plaster walls throughout Schiedam?
Yes, throughout the entire municipality of Schiedam, including Nieuwland, West and Oost. 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.
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.
Can a wall with holes from old plugs also be made smooth?
Yes. We fill holes and damage first, then the plaster layer goes over the entire wall, so you won't see anything of it.
