Flats of older construction: the figures for IJplein en Vogelbuurt
According to the CBS figures (Statistics Netherlands, 2024), 7,875 people live in IJplein en Vogelbuurt, in 4,310 households and 4,199 homes. The majority, 92%, are multi-family homes; 8% are single-family. Across the municipality, see latex spraying Amsterdam, that is 87% and 13%. Of the homes, 20% are owner-occupied and 80% rented, against 30% and 70% in the municipality.
The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €410,000, below the municipal average of €498,000. Density is 6,645 residents per km2 and urbanity is 1, very strongly urban. Of the homes, 99% are older than ten years and only 1% were built in the past ten years. In the municipality that is 89% against 11%.
What does this mean for your spray work? These are mostly older flats. Walls and ceilings have often had several layers of paint, and small unevennesses can form on them. We solve those with sanding by hand and filling before the first coat goes on. That preparation is the basis of a crisp end result.
Because most homes here are rented, the landlord's permission plays a role. Always ask for it beforehand for a change of colour or finish, certainly if you want a colour other than white or light grey.
In practice we see in older flats that ceilings are often more affected than walls: candle soot, cooking fumes and windows often left open leave traces. A blotchy ceiling draws your eye straight up. By tackling the ceiling first and then the walls, you get the biggest difference for the least effort.

Do it yourself or have it done? An honest weighing up
Anyone starting on a flat quickly wonders whether they can do it themselves. You can spray latex yourself or hire a machine, but experience makes the difference. On renting an airless sprayer you can read what is involved. Think of pressure, distance, small corners and overlaps.
Want to know the costs and how to watch the budget? Then also take a look at affordable latex spraying. In short: a clear price per m2, no surprises and a finish in two coats.
If you hand over the work, you save yourself the preparation, cleaning the equipment and the risk of splashes. In our experience spraying is also up to 5 times faster than rolling. A room of 12 to 20 m2 takes 30 to 60 minutes per coat. A flat is therefore often finished in a day.
Transport and access are often a point in a flat. Agree beforehand how we bring materials inside. That is general advice and avoids hassle on the day itself.
If you live in a rented flat and want to pay yourself, it is wise to put the agreement with the landlord in writing. That prevents discussion when you hand back the keys. We leave you a neat result afterwards and you can look at the work calmly before you settle up.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in IJplein en Vogelbuurt
What does a latex sprayer cost per m2 in IJplein en Vogelbuurt?
From €7.95 per m2 at Basic, from €9.95 at Medium and from €11.95 at High. For 95 m2 that is from €755.25, €945.25 or €1,135.25. We set the exact price after a free on-site visit.
Can I spray latex myself in IJplein en Vogelbuurt with a hired machine?
Technically you can, but it takes experience with pressure, masking and overlaps. Anyone doing it for the first time often ends up with marks or splashes. You save time and hassle if you leave it to a latex sprayer.
Is older construction in IJplein en Vogelbuurt a problem for latex spraying?
No, as long as the surface is prepared well. We repair small cracks, sand by hand and fill all inside corners. Then two coats follow. For bigger problems, such as damp stains, we advise tackling the cause first.
How long does latex spraying take in IJplein en Vogelbuurt for a flat?
In our experience one coat on a room of 12 to 20 m2 is done in 30 to 60 minutes. With preparation and two coats a flat is often finished in one day, especially if it is empty. In an occupied home we plan a little more time.
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 IJplein en Vogelbuurt?
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.
Can I ask for a price via WhatsApp?
Yes. Send a WhatsApp message to +31 6 38048347 with your town, the rooms and the approximate m2; photos help. You can also use the price calculator on this page.
