Latex spraying Slotervaart-Zuid often comes down to one thing: handing a home over neatly for the next resident. According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024), 81 per cent of the homes in this neighbourhood are rented. As a latex sprayer we come to you from Haarlem, about 17 kilometres as the crow flies. We charge from €7.95 per m2 for walls and ceilings, including two coats of latex and hand sanding. You get a free on-site visit and a quote with the exact price, even if you only want one home or one room done.
Tenant changes in Slotervaart-Zuid: what the CBS figures mean for spray work
According to the CBS (2024), 11,270 people live in Slotervaart-Zuid, in 5,236 homes and 5,970 households. So there are slightly more households than homes. The density is 9,021 residents per km2, almost twice the municipal average of 4,950.
Of the homes, 83 per cent are multi-family and 17 per cent single-family. In Amsterdam it is 87 per cent multi-family and 13 per cent single-family. The tenure split is 81 per cent rented and 19 per cent owned, against 70 per cent rented and 30 per cent owned in the municipality. The WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) averages €392,000, below the €498,000 for Amsterdam.
Of the homes, 75 per cent are more than 10 years old and 25 per cent are newer. That is more new build than the municipal picture (11 per cent new). Within the neighbourhood the CBS names the Louis Crispijnbuurt, the Jacques Veltmanbuurt and the Staalmanbuurt, among others.
For our work this means many jobs are tied to the change between residents. A home becomes empty, the walls show signs of use, and there is a date by which it must be ready again. An empty home is fastest, because nothing has to be masked around furniture.
For owners in this neighbourhood, 19 per cent of the homes are owner-occupied, something else comes into play. They usually have spraying done because they stay in the home themselves and want a calm, even result. Then the planning follows their diary and the rooms that must be temporarily empty. We plan room by room, so you do not have to clear everything at once.

A latex sprayer for a move or tenant change: how to plan it
Good planning starts with the key hand-over. We advise scheduling the spray work between the departure of the old resident and the arrival of the new one. In our experience one coat of latex on a room of 12 to 20 m2 is sprayed in 30 to 60 minutes. Preparation and masking take the most time, which is why an empty home is so handy.
A possible order:
- You request a free on-site visit and we measure the home.
- You receive a quote with the exact price and choose a package.
- We sand by hand, repair small holes and fill the inside corners.
- We mask and spray two coats.
- We clear up and walk through the work together. Only then do you pay.
If the home has a shared stairwell, we keep materials and covering tidy. Landlords can have several homes done one after another. You can talk about that through request a quote.
A tip for landlords: during the visit, have the recurring points noted straight away, such as screw holes, marks near switches and damaged corners. That gives a short list that we include in the quote, so the same process can be used for the next home. That way you do not have to explain what you expect each time.
Want to be sure the hand-over is right? We walk through the work with you at completion. If there are spots you do not like, we discuss them on the spot. Only after that check do you pay.

Example for Slotervaart-Zuid: living room of 6 x 5 metres
Based on 30 m2 ceiling and 57.2 m2 walls (ceiling height 2.6 m), 87.2 m2 in total, without deducting windows and doors. This is an estimate based on the from-prices; the quote after the visit is binding.
| Package | Calculation | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 87.2 m2 x €7.95 | €693.24 |
| Medium | 87.2 m2 x €9.95 | €867.64 |
| High | 87.2 m2 x €11.95 | €1,042.04 |
Costs, packages and what you get for walls and ceilings
What does latex spraying cost per m2? The from-prices are €7.95 for Basic, €9.95 for Medium and €11.95 for High. A worked example with 110 m2 of walls and ceilings, for instance a spacious apartment with a corridor:
| Package | Scrub class | From, 110 m2 |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | 3 | €874.50 |
| Medium | 2 | €1,094.50 |
| High | 1 | €1,314.50 |
These are from-amounts for light colours and one colour per quote. The exact price is always in the quote. You will find an explanation of the classes at scrub class 1, 2 or 3. Scrub class is the washability rating under NEN-EN 13300, and class 1 is the most washable.
For a rental it is smart to look first at how heavy the wear is. If the walls in the corridor are well used, choose a higher scrub class there. In bedrooms Basic is often enough. A second thing to think about is colour: the prices apply to light colours and one colour per quote. If you want several colours, discuss that beforehand, so the quote is right. If you want to have a ceiling done separately, see spray painting ceilings.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Slotervaart-Zuid
How quickly can latex spraying in Slotervaart-Zuid be done at a tenant change?
After a free on-site visit we plan the work on a day that fits the key hand-over. In our experience an average apartment is often sprayed within a day if the home is empty. The exact duration depends on the surface and the preparation.
What are the drawbacks of latex spraying in Slotervaart-Zuid?
The biggest drawback is that everything has to be masked carefully, because overspray gets everywhere. That takes time. Spraying is also less suited to small surfaces. For a whole home or an empty apartment it is an efficient choice.
Is latex spraying in Slotervaart-Zuid cheaper than a painter with a roller?
That depends on the situation. Spraying is faster, so labour costs can be lower, but the preparation remains. We work with fixed from-prices per m2 and put everything in the quote, so you can compare on the same surface.
Which paint does a latex sprayer use in Slotervaart-Zuid?
We work with Sigma Coatings, Caparol and Sikkens, among others. The scrub class determines how well the wall can be cleaned: class 1 is the strongest and class 3 the simplest. We discuss which suits your room during the on-site visit.
How long does it take to spray a room in Slotervaart-Zuid?
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 Slotervaart-Zuid?
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.
