What I do in Alblasserdam
Flat roofs and bitumen
New bituminous roofing on a house, extension, garage or commercial building.
Roof renovation
Due for replacement? I measure up, assess it and tell you honestly whether a repair will still do.
Roof leaks
Tracing the leak is part of the job. Urgent work is scheduled as soon as possible.
Roofs with solar panels
A roof made ready for panels, or repairs to roofs that already carry them.
Zinc work
Zinc gutters, rainwater downpipes and wall copings, new or repaired.
Roof insulation
Insulate during the renovation. Doing it later means opening the whole roof again.
Roof maintenance and inspection
Having a look every five years often prevents a bigger repair.
Lead work
Lead flashing at the chimney, the wall and the roof window, where leaks most often start.
Roof edges and fascia
Where nearly all wind damage begins: aluminium roof trim and new upstands.
Timber and roof decking
Replacing rotten decking under the roofing, so the new roof lies on sound timber.
Vents and roof penetrations
Roof penetrations fitted, torched in or removed, and finished watertight.
Skylights and roof windows
Fitting and replacing, with an upstand that keeps the water out.
The roofs of Alblasserdam, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Alblasserdam
Blokweer and Souburgh are largely post-war and seventies: family houses with flat extensions, sheds and garages. Along the dyke and towards Kinderdijk stands older work, and on the industrial side lie larger flat commercial roofs.
What that means for your roof
On a commercial roof it is about area and about drainage: enough rainwater outlets, a proper fall, and no puddles left standing. On houses it is usually a straightforward area without many obstacles.
Why fall and drainage matter so much here
A flat roof is never truly flat: it slopes gently towards the outlets. If that fall goes out of shape or an outlet blocks, the water stands, and standing water is what wears bitumen out. So during an inspection I always check the outlets and the penetrations, not just the area itself. On a commercial roof on Vinkenpolderweg the work can be done in phases so the premises stay in use; on a house it is a more straightforward job.
What people in Alblasserdam ask
A small puddle after rain is normal. If it stands for days, the fall or the drainage is not right and the roofing wears out faster. That can be put right during a renovation.
Yes, from a warehouse to an industrial hall. Where trading continues, the work can be done in phases so nothing has to stand still.
Once every five years is a good rule, and after a serious storm. Blocked outlets and leaves in the gutter are the most common cause of water standing.
Where in Alblasserdam is your roof?
Sixties and seventies. Terraced houses with a flat extension at the back and sheds lying in rows against one another.
Slightly younger and more spacious, with garages and carports almost all finished flat.
Mixed building around the harbour. Small flat roofs behind facades, with plenty of lead and zinc work at the junctions.
Old and irregular building along the water. Small roof areas with many corners and a lot of wind on them.
Industrial estates with warehouses and halls. Broad roof areas where the water has to travel a long way to the outlets.
Newer housing with extensions and dormers still carrying their first layer of bitumen.
