Wall plastering in Utrecht

In Utrecht prices start from € 240 per job for an average home. Pre-war districts around the centre where wallpaper must come off and old walls need levelling; Leidsche Rijn is young construction for paint-ready and spray work.

Your request goes straight to local professionals in and around Utrecht; they respond as soon as possible and you compare up to 3 quotes and decide.

For smooth wall plastering you pay on average € 10 to € 30 per m², including labour and materials. Smooth ceiling plastering costs € 15 to € 35 per m² (overhead work is slower), spray plaster € 5 to € 12 per m² and facade rendering € 45 to € 110 per m². For the walls of one room that comes to € 300 to € 1,500 — the state of the surface and the desired finish decide where you land in the band.

Wallpaper-ready is flat enough for wallpaper or fibreglass liner and sits at the bottom of the price band. Paint-ready is the tightest finishing class: meant to be painted directly, where raking light betrays every unevenness — that takes more work and thus sits at the top of the band. State which level you want in your request; the plasterer then quotes the right work straight away.

Yes — plaster does not bond reliably to wallpaper or residue. Loose old plaster must also be removed. You can strip the wallpaper yourself to save money, or have it included as preparation work in the quote; mention in your request what is currently on the walls.

The rule of thumb in the trade is roughly one day of drying per millimetre of layer thickness, with normal ventilation. A thin topcoat is dry after a few days; thick levelling work needs weeks. Painting or wallpapering too early traps moisture and causes blistering — ask the plasterer at handover when the wall is ready for the next step.
