What I do in Barendrecht
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 Barendrecht, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Barendrecht
Carnisselande was built at the end of the nineties and in the years after, at speed and with many flat extensions, sheds and carports. Older Barendrecht around the centre and Buitenoord is a generation older, with the roofs that go with it.
What that means for your roof
That matters for the timing. A bitumen roof from 1999 is now well over twenty-five years old, and that is exactly the age at which it becomes sensible to have it looked at. Sometimes an extra layer will do, sometimes replacing is wiser. I say honestly what I see, even if the answer is that you have a few years left.
Why the ages run so evenly here
In Carnisselande and Portland half a town went up in a few years. That means the roofs have all been on for the same length of time, and neighbours often run into the same thing at once. So when measuring up I look not only at your roof but at how the one next door is faring, because that often tells half the story already. The work itself is usually straightforward: van at the door, old roof off, closed up again the same day.
What people in Barendrecht ask
Not necessarily. Around twenty-five years is the moment to look. If the covering is still in good order you can carry on; if there are blisters or open seams, you know in time.
Sometimes. If there is moisture in the old layers or the insulation is soaked, it stays underneath and the new layer fails just as fast. I check that on site.
Yes. They have been on just as long and usually fail at the same time, so it makes sense to take them in the same run.
Where in Barendrecht is your roof?
Built from the late nineties. Flat extensions, sheds and carports put up at speed, and therefore all the same age.
The same building period, more generously laid out. Many dormers and extensions still carrying their first layer of bitumen.
A generation older. Houses with a flat extension now due their second or third layer.
Post-war and seventies low-rise, with sheds and garages under a flat roof.
Generous plots with outbuildings and carports, where it is often a single larger area.
Warehouses, cold stores and halls with large flat roofs, many outlets and plant on top.
