Rotterdam in figures
The construction periods and types of housing in Rotterdam determine which walls and ceilings we encounter most often.
Approximately 96,000 homes in Rotterdam (29%) date from before 1945, well above the national 18%. Walls there are usually brick with lime plaster, ceilings often reed. Lime plaster is softer than gypsum: we repair it with a material that bonds to it, rather than simply putting a hard gypsum layer over it.
26.2% of homes date from the period 1945–1975. These have often undergone a few renovations already; when plastering, we check whether old paint or wallpaper layers are still firmly attached.
In Rotterdam, according to CBS, 2,886 new-build homes were added in 2024. These are typically delivered ready for wallpapering; plastering ready for painting or spray-plastering is then a frequently requested next step.
In Rotterdam, the majority live in multi-family housing (75%). Plastering in a flat requires some extra planning: materials via stairs or lift, masking off shared spaces and sometimes coordination with the owners' association (VvE).
More than half of Rotterdam rents (65%). If you're a tenant wanting to have walls plastered or decorative plaster applied, first ask permission from your landlord. Smooth, ready for painting plastering is usually accepted without objection.

Questions about plastering in Rotterdam
Will a plasterer come to Rotterdam?
Yes. We work throughout Rotterdam, including Hoogvliet Rotterdam, Hoek van Holland and Rozenburg, and in the neighbouring municipalities of Maassluis, Vlaardingen and Midden-Delfland. Send photos and you'll hear when we can come.
What does a plasterer cost in Rotterdam?
We calculate plastering to measure: it depends on the number of m², the surface and the finish. Send photos and measurements, then you'll receive a price in advance.
How long does plaster need to dry?
Allow approximately one week per centimetre of layer thickness, depending on ventilation and temperature. After that it can be painted or wallpapered.
My reed ceiling is sagging. Can it still be saved?
Sometimes yes: loose sections can be secured and repaired. If the reed or plaster is loose over a large area, we usually install a new ceiling underneath. We'll discuss this after the on-site assessment.
What is the difference between ready for painting and ready for wallpapering?
Ready for painting is finished more smoothly, so you can apply latex paint directly. Ready for wallpapering may be slightly less smooth, because wallpaper covers minor imperfections.
