Ceilings in Delft
Which ceiling you have in Delft depends heavily on the year of construction. With 31.1% of homes built between 1945 and 1975, we most often encounter concrete ceilings with a thin spray layer, and in single-family homes also timber joist floors with plasterboard or board.
In Delft, 68% of the homes are flats or maisonettes. These almost always have a concrete ceiling. We apply the plaster layer directly onto a bonding coat; we first reinforce the joints between the concrete slabs.
For the 12,000 pre-war homes, we first check whether the reed ceiling is still secure. If it sounds hollow or is sagging, a new ceiling underneath is often more durable than patching up.
Many ceilings in Delft received a spray coat between the sixties and early nineties. Spray plaster from before 1994 may contain asbestos; have it tested if in doubt. Over an intact layer we simply plaster after a bonding coat.
Practical: ceiling plastering in Delft
Whether you live in Voorhof, Buitenhof and Wippolder or elsewhere in Delft: the approach is the same, we coordinate the planning with your address.
In a very highly urbanised municipality such as Delft (CBS), we check parking and the route inside beforehand: narrow stairs and entrance halls determine how we bring in the materials.
Approximately 42% of homes in Delft are owned by a housing association. If it concerns damage to the ceiling in a housing association property, report it to the association first: repairs after a leak often fall under their maintenance.
Just outside Delft too, in Pijnacker-Nootdorp, Rijswijk and Midden-Delfland, we plaster ceilings; each of those municipalities has its own page with housing figures.

Questions about ceiling plastering in Delft
Do you plaster ceilings throughout Delft?
Yes, throughout the municipality of Delft, including Voorhof, Buitenhof and Wippolder. Send photos and you'll hear the price and 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.
Can a plasterboard ceiling also be plastered?
Yes. On plasterboard, a thin plaster layer goes over the finished joints, so the ceiling becomes one smooth surface with no visible board joints.
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.
