Ceilings in Gorinchem
Which ceiling you have in Gorinchem depends heavily on the year of construction. With 30.1% of homes built between 1945 and 1975, we most often encounter concrete ceilings with a thin spray layer, and in detached houses also timber joist floors with plasterboard or board.
In Gorinchem 57% of homes are single-family houses. That usually means multiple ceilings per house: downstairs, the landing and the bedrooms. Those who have them done together get the same smoothness everywhere.
A significant proportion of ceilings in Gorinchem 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.
In the newer neighbourhoods of Gorinchem, it is often sprayed wide-slab floors whose joints start showing after a few years. A smooth plastered ceiling solves that.
Planning and access in Gorinchem
We cover the entire municipality of Gorinchem, including the districts of Laag Dalem, Haarwijk, Gorinchem city centre, Gildenwijk and Hoog Dalem.
Gorinchem is highly urbanised according to CBS. In the busier streets we arrange in advance how the plastering materials get inside and where we can load and unload.
Approximately 37% of homes in Gorinchem belong to a housing association. If it concerns ceiling damage in an association property, report it to the association first: repairs after a leak often fall under their maintenance.
Just outside Gorinchem too, in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Molenlanden and Sliedrecht, we plaster ceilings; each of those municipalities has its own page with housing figures.

How we work
- Photos and measurements of the ceiling, with the height of the room.

What does ceiling plastering cost in Gorinchem?
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 ceilings (living room, bedrooms, landing).
- Reinforce joints or pre-treat Artex.
- The height, especially with a void or stairwell.
Questions about ceiling plastering in Gorinchem
Do you plaster ceilings throughout Gorinchem?
Yes, throughout the entire municipality of Gorinchem, including Laag Dalem, Haarwijk and Gorinchem city centre. 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.
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.
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.
