Ceiling plastering in Dordrecht
The largest group of homes in Dordrecht was built between 1945 and 1975 (29.8%). There we mainly encounter concrete ceilings with a thin spray layer, and in single-family homes also timber joists with plasterboard or board. That determines how we prepare the ceiling before the plaster layer goes on.
In Dordrecht, 55% of homes are detached or semi-detached houses. That usually means several ceilings per home: downstairs, the landing and the bedrooms. If you have them done together, you get the same smooth finish throughout.
Dordrecht has approximately 13,000 homes from before 1945. If a reed ceiling is sagging or the plaster is coming loose, we often recommend installing a new ceiling underneath rather than patching.
A significant portion of ceilings in Dordrecht have an old textured spray layer. If it's from before 1994, an asbestos test is advisable before anyone starts sanding; plastering over it is usually possible.

Questions about ceiling plastering in Dordrecht
Do you plaster ceilings throughout Dordrecht?
Yes, throughout the entire municipality of Dordrecht, including Sterrenburg, Stadspolders and Dubbeldam. Send photos and you'll hear the price and schedule.
Can a textured ceiling be made smooth?
Yes. A bonding coat is applied over the artex, followed by a smooth plaster layer. The artex itself usually doesn't need to be removed.
How long before I can paint?
If the ceiling is evenly light in colour; with a normal coat allow about a week.
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.
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.
