Ceiling plastering in Schiedam
The type of ceiling you have in Schiedam depends strongly on the year of construction. With 30.8% 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 joists with plasterboard or board.
In Schiedam, 68% of homes are flats or maisonettes. These almost always have a concrete ceiling. On these we apply the plaster layer directly after a bonding coat; we reinforce the joints between the concrete slabs first.
Schiedam has around 11,000 homes built before 1945. If a reed ceiling sags or the plaster comes loose, we often recommend installing a new ceiling underneath rather than patching the plaster.
A significant proportion of ceilings in Schiedam 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 fine.

We cover the entire municipality of Schiedam, including the neighbourhoods Nieuwland, West, Oost, Groenoord and Spaland and Sveaparken.
In a very highly urbanised municipality such as Schiedam (CBS), we check parking and the route inside beforehand: narrow stairs and entrance halls determine how we bring in the materials.
Approximately 31% of homes in Schiedam are owned by a housing association. If it concerns ceiling damage in a housing association property, report it to the association first: repairs after a leak often fall under their maintenance.

What does ceiling plastering cost in Schiedam?
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 Schiedam, we mainly look at:
- The number of m² ceiling.
- Reinforce joints or pre-treat Artex.
- Repair or replacement of a reed ceiling.
- Accessibility in a hallway or flat.

Questions about ceiling plastering in Schiedam
Do you plaster ceilings throughout Schiedam?
Yes, throughout the entire municipality of Schiedam, including Nieuwland, West and Oost. 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 reed ceiling be plastered?
Only if it's still firmly attached. Otherwise we recommend a new ceiling underneath.
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.
