What we encounter in The Hague
The largest group of homes in The Hague was built before 1945 (38.9%). There we mainly encounter reed ceilings or wooden laths with lime or gypsum plaster, sometimes with mouldings and a ceiling rose. That determines how we prepare the ceiling before the plaster layer goes on.
Flats and maisonettes are in the majority in The Hague (79%). The ceiling there is almost always concrete, often with a textured finish. After a bonding coat, the plaster layer goes straight on; we reinforce joints beforehand with mesh.
In the older homes of The Hague, around 107,000, there's often still a reed ceiling with decorative moulding. If it's secure, we patch it up; if it's loose, we discuss a new ceiling.
Schedule and accessibility in The Hague
Neighbourhoods we cover in The Hague: Laakkwartier and Spoorwijk, Schildersbuurt, Bouwlust, Ypenburg and Wateringse Veld, and the rest of the municipality.
In a very highly urbanised municipality like The Hague (CBS), we check parking and access routes beforehand: narrow stairs and entrance halls determine how we bring in materials.
Approximately 30% of homes in The Hague are owned by a housing association. If there's damage to the ceiling in an association property, report it to the association first: repairs after a leak often fall under their maintenance.
In 2024, 1,802 new-build homes were added in The Hague (CBS). Ceilings in new builds are usually sprayed at handover; achieving a smooth finish is easiest before the floor is laid.
Around The Hague we also work in Rijswijk, Leidschendam-Voorburg and Wassenaar.

How we work
- Send a photo of the entire ceiling and a close-up of joints or cracks.
- We determine the approach: bonding coat on Artex, reinforcing joints or a new ceiling underneath.
- You get the price upfront, including drying time.
- Plastering from a rolling tower, then clearing up; the ceiling in The Hague is ready for painting.
What does ceiling plastering cost in The Hague?
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.
For a ceiling in The Hague, we mainly look at:
- The number of m² ceiling.
- Repair or replacement of a reed ceiling.
- Accessibility in a hallway or flat.
Questions about ceiling plastering in The Hague
Do you plaster ceilings throughout The Hague?
Yes, throughout the municipality of The Hague, including Laakkwartier and Spoorwijk, Schildersbuurt and Bouwlust. Send photos and you'll hear the price and schedule.
Can you plaster over a textured ceiling?
Usually yes, after a bonding coat. We scrape away any loose areas first.
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.
When can I paint the ceiling?
When the plaster layer is evenly light in colour throughout. Start with a diluted first coat of latex so the paint adheres well.
