For latex spraying Binnenstad-Zuid you have come to the right place. As a latex sprayer we travel from Haarlem, about 26.6 km as the crow flies, and we work with airless equipment. Two coats of latex on walls and ceilings cost from €7.95 per m2 (Basic), from €9.95 (Medium) or from €11.95 (High). The exact price is in your quote.
The on-site visit is free and without obligation. Because three quarters of the homes in this neighbourhood are rented, we also help you think about the handover, the planning around a change of tenant and the landlord's permission.
Living in Binnenstad-Zuid: small homes, lots of renting and dense building
Statistics Netherlands (CBS, 2024) reports 8,915 residents and 6,765 households in Binnenstad-Zuid, in 4,377 homes. So there are more households than homes counted, which you do not often see. We draw no conclusions from that, but it shows there are many small households sharing space or living on a small floor area.
Almost everything is an apartment: 70 per cent, against 60 per cent in Leiden as a whole. Family houses make up 30 per cent (municipality: 40 per cent). The share of rented homes is 75 per cent, well above the 59 per cent for the whole city, and only 25 per cent of homes are owner-occupied (municipality: 41 per cent). Of the homes, 98 per cent are older than 10 years and only 2 per cent were built in the past 10 years (municipality: 12 per cent).
One of the most densely built parts of Leiden
At 13,395 residents per km2 the density is more than 2.2 times the Leiden average (5,954). For spray painting that means small rooms, narrow hallways and little space for materials. We bring only what is needed and mask carefully.
The CBS neighbourhood division names Pieterswijk, Academiewijk and Levendaal-West here, among others. The average WOZ value (the municipal property valuation) is €432,000, against €393,000 for Leiden as a whole.
What does this mean for you? You are more likely to be dealing with a compact flat, an upstairs flat or a ground-floor flat than a spacious detached house. A small room with many corners and edges calls for precise masking. The spraying itself is then done in no time, and that is the big advantage: you do not sit for days among paint fumes and tape.

Wall spraying at a change of tenant or handover in Binnenstad-Zuid
With so many rented homes, a change of tenant is a regular moment here. Anyone moving out wants to hand over a neutral, clean home. Anyone letting a home wants to re-let it quickly. Spraying suits that well, because an empty home is quicker than a lived-in one.
Whitewashing the walls of an empty flat
If the home is empty, we do not have to cover furniture and only the surface remains. In our experience a room of 12 to 20 m2 is sprayed in 30 to 60 minutes per coat. You can read more on this subject at painting walls white.
Worked example: 80 m2 of walls and ceilings
A flat with 80 m2 of walls and ceilings in total costs from 80 x €7.95 = €636 with the Basic package, from 80 x €9.95 = €796 with Medium and from 80 x €11.95 = €956 with High. These are starting prices, based on light colours and one colour per quote.
Permission and agreements
If you are a tenant, ask your landlord for permission in advance and have the colour the home must be returned in put in writing. If you are a landlord or a board member of an owners' association (VvE), we can plan several homes one after another. You discuss that during the on-site visit.
Latex spraying prices in Binnenstad-Zuid
| Package | From per m2 | Latex |

| Basic | €7.95 | standard latex, scrub class 3 |
| Medium | €9.95 | medium latex, scrub class 2 |
| High | €11.95 | high-end latex, scrub class 1 |
Every package includes: advice on site, checking the surface, masking windows and frames, small repairs, hand sanding of walls and ceilings, sealing all inside corners, spraying latex in 2 coats, cleaning up, handover.
Example for Binnenstad-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 |
Ceiling and wall spraying in an older town house
Because nearly all homes are older than 10 years, the surface has often had several coats of paint already. Our work pays attention to that: we check the surface, sand by hand and repair small damage. Inside corners are filled, so the final finish looks neat.
Ceilings with several seams or old paint
A ceiling is heavy work with a roller, especially if you keep looking up. With a sprayer we apply the paint evenly without roller marks. Read more at having your ceiling sprayed. Because we work room by room, you know exactly what you will pay.
Stairwells and shared spaces
With 70 per cent apartments, a stairwell or shared hallway is not unusual. If you want a joint project with your neighbours or owners' association, we discuss masking and working hours beforehand. The result is a neat, uniform finish.
If you want to know the pros and cons for your situation, read disadvantages of latex spraying. Honest advice prevents disappointment.
An example: if you have a room with many cupboards, radiators and pipes, masking takes more time than the spraying itself. In that case rolling can make more sense for part of the room. We simply say so during the on-site visit, even if it means the job gets smaller.

Frequently asked questions about latex spraying in Binnenstad-Zuid
Can I have my home sprayed as a tenant in Binnenstad-Zuid?
You can, but ask your landlord for permission first and agree which colour is acceptable. We then plan a free on-site visit and send a quote with starting prices per m2. You pay only after completion and after we have checked the work together.
How long does latex spraying take in a flat in Binnenstad-Zuid?
That depends on the surface area and the preparation. 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. An empty flat goes faster than a lived-in one.
Are there extra costs for working in a busy part of Binnenstad-Zuid?
We charge starting prices per m2 and list every item in the quote beforehand. Parking or unloading can be harder in a densely built neighbourhood. Discuss that during the on-site visit, so you know before the start what is included in the price.
Do you also spray ceilings in Binnenstad-Zuid without the walls?
Yes, a ceiling can be sprayed on its own. That is handy if only the ceiling has yellowed or is damaged. We mask the walls and floor, sand and spray two coats. You pay the same starting price per m2 as for walls.
Do I need to empty my home in Binnenstad-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.
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.
Do you also spray lacquer on doors and stairs in Binnenstad-Zuid?
Yes. Interior doors start from €110 each, a closed staircase from €650 and an open staircase from €700. Frames and kitchen fronts are quoted as custom work.
