Painting & Plastering in The Hague

Painting & Plastering for Home Renovation Projects

Painting and plastering are an important part of many home renovation and refurbishment projects. Proper preparation of walls and ceilings creates a clean, durable finish and can significantly improve the appearance of an existing home.

Floramer Construct coordinates painting and plastering work in The Hague and surrounding areas, both as individual renovation work and as part of larger construction projects.

From preparing walls and ceilings to plastering, painting and final finishing, we can coordinate the work as part of your renovation project.

Wall and Ceiling Plastering

Older Dutch houses can have uneven walls, damaged plaster or surfaces that need to be repaired before painting.

Plastering can be used to:

Create smooth and even walls
Repair damaged or uneven surfaces
Prepare walls and ceilings for painting
Improve the finish of renovated rooms
Restore surfaces after structural alterations

Plastering may also be required after removing walls, changing room layouts or carrying out electrical and plumbing work.

Interior Painting

A fresh coat of paint can completely change the appearance of a home.

Our renovation projects can include interior painting of:

Walls
Ceilings
Doors
Frames and woodwork
Renovated rooms
Newly plastered surfaces

The preparation of the surface is an important part of achieving a good result. Depending on the condition of the existing walls, this can include repairs, filling, sanding and priming before the final paint is applied.

Painting & Plastering in Older Dutch Houses

Many homes in The Hague were built several decades ago and may require more preparation before walls and ceilings can be finished.

Older properties can have:

Uneven walls
Cracks or damaged plaster
Multiple layers of old paint
Previous repairs
Different types of wall surfaces
Walls affected by structural alterations

When renovating an older Dutch house, painting and plastering are often part of a much larger renovation process.

Floramer Construct can coordinate the necessary work together with the other construction activities taking place in the property.

Painting After Structural Renovation

Structural changes can leave walls and ceilings requiring new finishing.

For example, after:

Removing a load-bearing or internal wall
Creating a larger opening
Changing the layout of a room
Installing new electrical wiring
Moving plumbing
Building a home extension
Renovating an entire floor

the affected surfaces may need to be repaired, plastered and painted.

By coordinating the finishing work as part of the wider renovation, the different stages of the project can be planned together.

Painting & Plastering as Part of a Complete Renovation

Painting and plastering are often carried out towards the later stages of a complete home renovation.

A renovation may include:

Structural alterations
Electrical work
Plumbing
Heating improvements
Kitchen renovation
Bathroom renovation
Insulation
New windows and doors
Flooring
Plastering
Painting

Having the finishing work coordinated with the rest of the construction can help avoid unnecessary delays and repeated work.

For complete home renovations, see our Complete Home Renovation service.

Walls and Ceilings After Electrical & Plumbing Work

Renovation work often requires walls and ceilings to be opened to install or modify technical systems.

This can happen when:

Electrical installations are replaced
New lighting is installed
Plumbing is moved
Heating systems are changed
New radiators or underfloor heating are installed
Kitchen or bathroom layouts are changed

After the technical work has been completed, the affected surfaces can be repaired and prepared for their final finish.

Plastering and Painting for Home Extensions

A new home extension needs to be integrated visually with the existing house.

This can involve:

Plastering new walls
Finishing ceilings
Connecting new and existing surfaces
Preparing surfaces for painting
Painting the new living space
Finishing areas affected by the connection between old and new construction

Painting and plastering are therefore often an important part of completing a home extension.

Our Painting & Plastering Process

1. Assessing the Existing Surfaces

We first look at the condition of the walls and ceilings and determine what preparation is required.

2. Preparing the Surfaces

Depending on the condition, preparation may include repairs, filling, sanding, removing damaged material or other surface preparation.

3. Plastering

Where necessary, walls and ceilings are plastered or repaired to create a suitable surface for finishing.

4. Preparation for Painting

The surfaces are allowed to dry and are prepared for the chosen finish.

5. Painting

Walls, ceilings and other agreed surfaces are painted as part of the project.

6. Final Finishing

The completed surfaces are checked and any necessary finishing work is addressed before the project is completed.

Painting & Plastering for Expats

For international homeowners, coordinating several different trades can make a renovation more complicated.

Floramer Construct works with expats and international homeowners in The Hague and surrounding areas and can coordinate painting and plastering together with other renovation work.

Communication in English and one central point of contact can make it easier to manage a renovation, particularly when you are living abroad or renovating a property before moving to the Netherlands.
