Painter Waalwijk

The Langstraat lies low, between the Bergsche Maas to the north and the sand ridges to the south, and the ground water is never far away. For a house that means one thing above all: timber stays damp longer here than it does in the higher parts of Brabant, and damp timber is where wood rot starts. North- and west-facing frames, fascias behind blocked gutters and the bottom rails of doors are the usual first victims.

We therefore treat inspection as the most important part of the job in Waalwijk. Before quoting we check every frame, and if we find soft timber we quote for wood rot repair alongside the painting, so that you are not repainting rot.

Kivits Vastgoedonderhoud is a registered Dutch painting and property maintenance company (KVK 94153965) based in 's-Hertogenbosch. Founder Leroy Kivits and his team communicate comfortably in English, so expats and international homeowners get the same clear advice, written quote and 5-year warranty as our Dutch clients.

Most of Waalwijk was built after the war: streets of terraced and semi-detached family homes from the 1950s to the 1970s, followed by newer neighbourhoods on the edges and recent new-build. In Sprang-Capelle and Baardwijk we have completed a series of jobs that ranged from complete exterior repaints to targeted repairs of individual frames.

For the exterior painting itself we use Sikkens, Sigma or Dulux systems chosen for the exposure of each elevation, applied after thorough sanding, filling and priming. The result carries a 5-year warranty on materials and workmanship.

A practical tip for anyone viewing a house in Waalwijk: look at the fascia boards under the gutter and the bottom of the back door. Those are the two places where a Langstraat house shows its age first, and they tell you a lot about how the rest of the timber has been kept. If you are unsure, we are happy to look before you buy; the inspection is free and takes about an hour.

If a neighbour in Waalwijk is already a client, ask them about us. We like to plan work by street or block, because it lets us schedule efficiently and pass the benefit on in the planning. Quotes and invoices can be issued in English, and we are used to coordinating with landlords and relocation agencies.

Waalwijk sits between our Den Bosch base and our western hub in Tilburg, and we also cover Heusden, Drunen and Loon op Zand from here. No travel surcharge. Dutch version of this page: Schilder Waalwijk.
