What I do in Capelle aan den IJssel
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 Capelle aan den IJssel, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Capelle aan den IJssel
Capelle is an expansion town. Schollevaar, Oostgaarde and Middelwatering went up in a short time during the seventies and eighties. As a result there are whole neighbourhoods of identical building, and therefore identical flat roofs, sheds and lock-up garages, all of roughly the same age.
What that means for your roof
In practice that means neighbours often run into the same thing at once. If you see blisters in the bitumen or a loose roof edge next door, there is a fair chance your own roof is in much the same state. Several roofs in one street I can take in a single run, so there is no need to set up three times.
Why whole streets come due together here
Where an entire district went up in a couple of years, the roofs have all been on for the same length of time. You see that clearly in Schollevaar and Oostgaarde: once one roof in the row starts to blister, the rest follow within a few years. The advantage is that a street can tackle it together. Setting up once and delivering material once for several roofs runs more smoothly than coming back three separate times, and the disruption is over in one go. Do talk it over with the neighbours and ask for a quote together.
What people in Capelle aan den IJssel ask
Gladly. I measure the roofs in a single visit and put each house separately in the quote, so everyone can decide for themselves.
Not automatically, but it is a good moment to have a look. The roofs in these districts are nearly all from the same year.
Yes. I walk the whole roof and record what I find with photographs, so the committee can show the meeting what it is about.
Where in Capelle aan den IJssel is your roof?
The largest expansion, seventies and eighties. Thousands of houses with a flat extension at the back and a shed or lock-up garage beside it.
The same period, with blocks alongside whose roof areas run on in one piece across the whole building.
Slightly older and more mixed. Low-rise with extensions, alternating with walk-up flats and their large flat roofs.
More generously laid out, with carports, garages and outbuildings almost all finished flat.
The old part along the water. Small, irregular roof areas with many edges and lead work.
New housing and offices. Clean, large flat roofs with many outlets and plant on top.
