Living in an older home often means walls with a history. For latex spraying Betondorp you can come to us as your latex sprayer for careful preparation and an even top coat. We drive from Haarlem, 17.2 km as the crow flies. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024), 100 per cent of the homes in this neighbourhood are older than ten years. That is why we sand everything by hand, repair small damage and fill all inside corners before we spray two coats, from €7.95 per m2. The exact price is in your quote, after a free on-site visit.
One hundred per cent older housing in Betondorp: what the CBS figures mean for your walls
The CBS (2024) counts 3,010 residents, 1,820 households and 1,957 homes in Betondorp. The share of homes older than ten years is 100 per cent, and new build from the last ten years is 0 per cent. Across the municipality of Amsterdam, 89 per cent are older and 11 per cent newer. Betondorp is therefore a neighbourhood of entirely existing housing.
The housing mix is varied: 31 per cent single-family houses and 69 per cent multi-family homes, against 13 and 87 per cent in Amsterdam overall. Of the homes, 19 per cent are owned and 81 per cent rented. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €437,000, against €498,000 in the municipality. The density is 2,766 residents per km2, considerably lower than the 4,950 in Amsterdam as a whole.
This has consequences for your spray job. In older homes, walls may have been patched, plastered or repainted over the years. On such surfaces preparation is half the work. A spray machine shows every unevenness, so flaking paint, hairline cracks and holes must go first. That is exactly the work we do as standard in our price per m2.
Notably, the CBS counts more homes (1,957) than households (1,820). We draw no conclusions from that, but it is a reminder that not every home is permanently occupied at the time of counting. If your home is empty between two residents, that is an ideal moment for us: without furniture the work goes quickest.

Spraying older family houses: sanding, filling and stairwell in Betondorp
Almost a third of the homes in Betondorp are single-family houses. That means stairs, a hall and several bedrooms. We work per floor and per room. We start at the top or the bottom, depending on the layout, so we do not walk over fresh work.
An example of what comes with older walls: the join between wall and ceiling has often shrunk or cracked. We fill all inside corners by hand and let the filler dry properly. That prevents cracks from showing through the new paint again. For small holes from shelves, hooks or cable trunking we fill, sand smooth and spray over.
What are the differences between rolling and spraying in an old house? Rolling leaves a texture and takes more time. Spraying gives a smooth coat but needs a careful surface. You can read an overview at rolling or spraying latex. In our experience spraying is up to 5 times faster than rolling, but the preparation remains the most important part of the result.
Tell us during the visit if you have seen damp or mould. Latex over a damp problem solves nothing, so we then advise you to tackle the cause first.
Do you want the result to last for years? In an older home choose Medium or High for walls that are touched a lot, such as the hall and the stairs. On an old surface you see small differences sooner, and a higher scrub class makes cleaning easier without the paint immediately turning shiny or stained.

Costs and a worked example for an older home in Betondorp
Many people ask: what is latex spraying, and what does it cost? Latex spraying is applying latex paint with an airless machine, in this case in two coats. An example for an older home with 95 m2 of walls and ceilings, for light colours and one colour per quote:
| Package | From per m2 | From for 95 m2 |
|---|---|---|
| Basic, scrub class 3 | €7.95 | €755.25 |
| Medium, scrub class 2 | €9.95 | €945.25 |
| High, scrub class 1 | €11.95 | €1,135.25 |
These are from-prices. With older walls extra repair work may be needed, which we estimate during the visit and put in the quote. Small repairs are already included in the price per m2.
Thinking of doing it yourself? On renting an airless sprayer you can read what that involves. In older homes, where the preparation is heavier, many people still choose a professional.
You pay only after completion, with an iDEAL payment link or by debit card at the van. Business clients can pay by invoice with 14 days to settle.

Service area around Betondorp, from Middenmeer to Omval en Overamstel, plus lacquer work
Betondorp lies in Amsterdam Oost, 17.2 km as the crow flies from Haarlem. We have no office in the neighbourhood; we come to you. For the surrounding areas, see latex spraying Middenmeer and latex spraying Omval en Overamstel. An overview of the city is at latex spraying Amsterdam.
In older homes the doors and frames are often due for new lacquer. We lacquer an interior door from €110, a closed staircase from €650 and an open staircase from €700, with an exact quote after the visit. You will find all the details at lacquer spraying.
A sensible order in an older home: first repair and lacquer the woodwork, then spray the walls and ceilings, or the other way round, depending on the condition. During the visit we advise you on a logical order for your home.
Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Betondorp
Can latex spraying in Betondorp also be done in a home that has never been sprayed?
Yes. We first check the surface, repair small damage and sand by hand. Then we spray two coats. A home that was previously painted with a brush or roller is no problem, as long as the old coat adheres well and is firm.
What do you do about cracks in the walls of my home in Betondorp?
We repair small hairline cracks and holes as part of the job. All inside corners are filled. For larger cracks or damp problems we advise having the cause investigated first, because paint is no solution there. We discuss this during the visit.
Is latex spraying in Betondorp also suitable for a stairwell?
Yes, in single-family houses the stairwell is a normal part of the job. We mask the stair rail, treads and door linings and use safe climbing equipment. Tell us the height or shape of the stairwell beforehand, and we will take that into account in the quote.
What does latex spraying cost per m2 in Betondorp for an older home?
The from-prices are €7.95, €9.95 and €11.95 per m2, depending on the package. With older walls, extra repair work can affect the price. The exact price is in the quote after the free visit, so you know where you stand in advance.
How long does it take to spray a room in Betondorp?
In our experience one coat on a room of 12 to 20 m2 takes 30 to 60 minutes of spraying. Masking takes most of the time. A family home of about 120 m2 is often finished in 1 to 2 days, including preparation.
Is spraying faster than rolling?
In our experience latex spraying is up to 5 times faster than traditional rolling, because the airless machine atomises the paint under high pressure. The gain is biggest in an empty home or new build, where there is little to mask.
Do I need to empty my home in Betondorp?
Not completely. Remove loose items and small furniture; what stays is moved to the middle of the room and covered. We mask floors, windows and frames before spraying.
Which scrub class should I choose?
For a bedroom class 3 (Basic) is often enough. In a hallway, staircase, kitchen or children's room choose class 2 or 1, because you clean those walls more often. Class 1 is the most washable under NEN-EN 13300.
Is VAT included?
The VAT amount is shown in the quote. For homes older than 2 years the reduced 9% VAT rate on painting applies, according to the Dutch Tax Administration.
When and how do I pay?
Only after completion, once we have walked through the work together. You can pay with an iDEAL payment link, by debit card or on invoice; businesses have 14 days.
