Walls and ceilings in Scheldebuurt: a dense area of older stacked housing
Scheldebuurt is a large, dense area. According to the CBS figures (Statistics Netherlands, 2024), 15,225 people live here in 8,460 households, spread over 7,893 homes. Density is 15,403 residents per km2, well over three times the 4,950 of the municipality of Amsterdam. Almost everyone lives in an apartment: 98 per cent multi-family and 2 per cent single-family.
The split between rented and owner-occupied is 70 and 30 per cent, exactly equal to the municipal average. The WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €642,000, which is €144,000 above the €498,000 for Amsterdam as a whole. Of the homes, 95 per cent are older than ten years and 5 per cent were built in the past ten years.
That mix, older stacked housing with a considerable WOZ value, gives our work its own character. Older walls need more preparation: small cracks, holes from lamps and shelves, sealant joints at the ceiling. At the same time residents here often have high expectations of the end result. That makes it sensible to choose not only on price, but also on scrub class and colour fastness.
The CBS neighbourhood breakdown names the Wielingenbuurt, Scheldebuurt-West and the Veluwebuurt here, among others.

Rolling it yourself or hiring a latex sprayer in Scheldebuurt
A frequently asked question is: can you spray latex yourself? Technically you can, a spray machine can be rented, but doing it well takes practice. Think of the right pressure, the right nozzle, the masking and the pace. If you want to try, you will find the considerations at DIY latex spraying. For a whole apartment, most people see after one attempt that professional work pays.
What is latex spraying, actually? You use an airless machine that atomises the paint under high pressure. You can read the explanation under how latex spraying works. In our practice the method is up to 5 times quicker than rolling. For a standard room of 12 to 20 m2, one coat is sprayed in about 30 to 60 minutes.
Small rooms are typical of this area, and there is a drawback in that. A room of 12 m2 is sprayed quickly, but masking, covering and clearing up take relatively long. That is why we prefer to take several rooms in one go, so the preparation is spread over more wall surface.
Is there also new build in your complex, for example a recently delivered block? Then the walls are often already flat, which calls for a different way of working. How that goes you can read under latex spraying in a new build.
For most homes here the walls first need tidying up before paint goes on. We sand by hand so we do not damage the corners and edges, and we fill holes and hairline cracks. Then we fill all inside corners, so the transition between wall and ceiling becomes straight and closed. Only then does the first coat go on, with the second coat once the first is dry.

What does latex spraying cost in Scheldebuurt? A table for 60 m2
A worked example for an apartment where a total of 60 m2 of walls and ceilings is sprayed. All amounts are starting prices based on light colours:
| Package | Scrub class | 60 m2 from |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 3 | €477.00 |
| Medium | 2 | €597.00 |
| High | 1 | €717.00 |
The price per m2 is €7.95 for Basic, €9.95 for Medium and €11.95 for High. The price includes advice on site, a check of the surface, masking of windows and frames, small repairs, hand sanding, filling inside corners, two coats, clearing up and handover.
For an occupied apartment we ask you to empty the space as much as possible. If you have a rented home in this area (70 per cent of the homes are rented), ask the landlord for permission to be safe. We are happy to send you a clear quote for that.
With an empty home, for example at a house move, the work is finished quickest. For that we like to plan a date in good consultation that fits the key handover.
Want to know beforehand what you can do yourself to keep the work running smoothly? Take down lamps, curtains and wall shelves, move small furniture to another room and make sure we can reach a socket. Anything you leave hanging, we mask. But the emptier the space, the quicker and cleaner the result.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Scheldebuurt
How much does it cost to have a room sprayed in Scheldebuurt?
That depends on the surface of walls and ceiling. Count on from €7.95 per m2 for Basic. With 30 m2 of walls and ceiling that is from €238.50. The exact price is always in the quote, after a free on-site visit.
Can I have just the ceiling sprayed in Scheldebuurt?
Certainly. Your ceiling is often the job you feel least like doing yourself. We mask the walls and spray the ceiling in two coats. With small ceilings the masking is relatively costly, so consider having the walls done straight away.
What working hours apply to latex spraying in Scheldebuurt?
We work during the day, tuned to your appointment and the arrangements in your complex. With apartments we ask you to report it to the VvE (owners' association) or neighbours. The spraying is short, the preparation takes longer. That way we keep the disturbance limited.
What happens with the paint if I want a colour other than white in Scheldebuurt?
A light colour falls within the starting price, as long as it stays at one colour per quote. A dark colour or several colours usually cost more, because extra coats are needed or because the machine has to be cleaned. Discuss your colour wishes beforehand, and it will be in the quote.
How long does it take to spray a room in Scheldebuurt?
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 Scheldebuurt?
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.
