Ceilings in Alphen aan den Rijn
The largest group of homes in Alphen aan den Rijn was built between 1975 and 1995 (32.2%). There we mainly encounter concrete slabs with V-joints and a textured spray layer (artex). That determines how we prepare the ceiling before the plaster layer goes on.
Most homes in Alphen aan den Rijn are detached or semi-detached houses (64%), often with a timber floor above the living room. There we check whether the ceiling flexes slightly; with mesh in the plaster layer we prevent small cracks.
Many ceilings in Alphen aan den Rijn received a spray layer between the sixties and early nineties. Spray plaster from before 1994 may contain asbestos; have it tested if in doubt. We simply plaster over an intact layer after a bonding coat.

Questions about ceiling plastering in Alphen aan den Rijn
Do you plaster ceilings throughout Alphen aan den Rijn?
Yes, throughout the municipality of Alphen aan den Rijn, including Boskoop, Hazerswoude-Dorp and Hazerswoude-Rijndijk. Send photos and you will hear the price and the schedule.
Does the old spack have to come off?
No, usually not. If it's firmly attached, we apply a bonding coat and then the plaster coat. We only remove loose areas.
How long before I can paint?
If the ceiling is evenly light in colour; with a normal coat allow about a week.
Will the seams come back?
By reinforcing them with mesh beforehand, the risk is small. With concrete slabs, a fine line may become visible after years.
Do I need to clear the room for the ceiling?
Preferably mostly. What remains we place in the middle or to one side and cover it; we protect the floor with dust sheets.
