What does a latex sprayer cost per m2 in the Indische Buurt-West? For latex spraying Indische Buurt-West you start from €7.95 per m2 for the Basic package, with two coats of latex, masking, hand sanding and filling of all inside corners included. Medium costs from €9.95 and High from €11.95 per m2. You read the exact price in the quote. Our latex sprayer comes from Haarlem and drives 17.2 km as the crow flies to your home. Before we start, we plan a free on-site visit, so we can measure the m2 together and discuss colour and quality.
One hundred per cent apartments: what that means for walls and ceilings in the Indische Buurt-West
According to the figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024) a large group of people lives on a small surface in the Indische Buurt-West: 12,145 residents, 7,000 households and 6,705 homes, with a density of 25,920 residents per km2. The CBS counts 100 per cent of the homes as apartments. Houses do not occur in these figures.
That makes the spray work predictable but exact. Every job takes place behind a front door on a floor. We therefore plan with you in advance how materials come in, where the machine goes and the masking of the hallway. A stairwell void almost never occurs, but a long, narrow hall with doors on both sides does.
Furthermore, 71 per cent of homes are rented and 28 per cent owner-occupied. In all of Amsterdam that is 70 per cent rented and 30 per cent owned, so the neighbourhood follows the urban picture. With 94 per cent of homes older than ten years and 6 per cent newer, it is rarely about flat new-build walls. We therefore allow time for sanding and filling.
For you as a resident it is good to know that in such a dense neighbourhood neighbours often share the same ceiling or the same party wall. Spraying in an apartment therefore calls for a tidy agreement: windows closed during the work, a short message to the neighbours and a clear finishing time. We work 7 days a week between 07:30 and 19:00 and are happy to agree the day with you.

Budget-conscious latex spraying: what the lower WOZ value means for you
The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) in the Indische Buurt-West is €443,000. The whole municipality of Amsterdam comes to €498,000. So the neighbourhood sits €55,000 lower. We draw no big conclusions from that, but it is a reason to work with a clear budget.
If you want affordable latex spraying, the Basic package from €7.95 per m2 is a logical start. A bedroom or living room in a light colour gets two coats and a crisp result. For kitchens and hallways you can choose Medium or High. Also read our page on affordable latex spraying for tips on keeping the price low without the quality suffering.
Do note: a lower price per m2 does not mean we do less. With Basic too we spray two coats and fill all inside corners, and the handover is still a joint walk-through of the work. What differs is the latex quality and so the scrub class (washability under NEN-EN 13300): 3 for Basic, 2 for Medium and 1 for High.
| Example: 90 m2 | Per m2 from | Total from |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | €7.95 | €715.50 |
| Medium | €9.95 | €895.50 |
| High | €11.95 | €1,075.50 |
A handy saving: spray several rooms in one round, choose one light colour and take down the wall decorations yourself. That way less time goes on preparation.

Can you spray latex yourself in an apartment? An honest weighing up for the Indische Buurt-West
Can you spray latex yourself? Technically yes: you can hire an airless machine. Still, in a block of flats the drawbacks weigh heavily. Paint mist can spread to other rooms, masking windows, frames and floors is a lot of work, and the hoses are hard to carry up a narrow stairwell. A small mistake leaves visible streaks or drips.
You will find more detail on what you need on our page about DIY latex spraying. It also says what a machine costs and what to watch for.
What are the disadvantages of latex spraying if you have it done? It takes preparation time, you have to clear the room and the choice of colour is one more decision to make in advance. Those are things you resolve quickly with a professional. In our experience spraying is up to 5 times faster than rolling, and in a full home that saves days of disturbance.
For ceilings the gain is often greatest: a long arm with a roller quickly becomes tiring, while spraying gives an even coat, even if the ceiling slopes slightly or an old colour shows through. So also read the explanation about spray painting ceilings.

Neighbouring districts of the Indische Buurt-West and lacquer spraying for doors and stairs
The Indische Buurt-West is in Amsterdam East. We come there from Haarlem, about 17.2 km as the crow flies. Does your home border another neighbourhood? Then also look at latex spraying Indische Buurt-Oost and spray painting in Dapperbuurt. For the overarching page on the city go to latex spraying Amsterdam.
A new colour on the walls often calls for fresh doors too. We lacquer an interior door from €110, a closed staircase from €650 and an open staircase from €700. Those are guide prices, the exact quote follows after the visit. Everything about doors, frames and stairs is on lacquer spraying.
How do you prepare for the job? Make a list of the rooms, note which spots have damp or cracks and have a photo ready of the wall where you want to change the colour. During the free visit we go through that together and say what we recommend. That way you can be sure the quote fits the real condition of your apartment, instead of an estimate on paper.
Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Indische Buurt-West
What are the benefits of a latex sprayer in the Indische Buurt-West?
How thin is the latex layer after spraying in the Indische Buurt-West?
Do I have to take furniture out of my home in the Indische Buurt-West?
Can I pay with iDEAL for latex spraying in the Indische Buurt-West?
How long does it take to spray a room in Indische Buurt-West?
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 Indische Buurt-West?
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.
