What I do in Dordrecht
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 Dordrecht, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Dordrecht
No town in the region has so many different roofs. In the historic centre flat roofs are tucked away behind the facades: small, awkward to reach and full of junctions and lead work. Krispijn and Wielwijk come from an entirely different era. And in Sterrenburg, Stadspolders and Dubbeldam stand thousands of houses from the seventies and eighties, nearly all with a flat extension or a garage.
What that means for your roof
In the old centre the work is in the details: junctions against the facade, roof windows, outlets and the route the water has to take. In the post-war districts it is about areas instead: an extension or a garage roof that can be watertight again in a single day. I do both, and in both cases I come and look for myself before anything goes on paper.
How it works in the old centre
In the old town the route to the roof is the hardest part of the job. Often the material goes through the house and up a staircase, sometimes with a hoist along the facade. I check that when measuring up, so you know what will happen on the day and where things will be put down. If space on the quay or the pavement is needed, I apply for the permit. In Sterrenburg or Stadspolders it is simpler: there I stand behind the house and the way up to the roof is short.
What people in Dordrecht ask
No, I come across it often. It does shape the approach, so I always look for myself first at how the material gets up, and then explain how the day will go.
Yes. On a large roof the work can be done in phases, so the premises stay in use. Plant on the roof I measure in beforehand, so it is no surprise halfway through.
Almost always at a junction: where the extension meets the rear wall, at an outlet, or along the roof edge. Rarely in the middle of the area. So that is where I start looking.
Where in Dordrecht is your roof?
Flat roofs tucked behind tall facades. Narrow areas, plenty of lead work at chimney and gable, and usually reachable only through the house.
Pre-war streets with extensions on the inner courtyards. Small roof areas with many corners and junctions against the neighbours.
Post-war walk-up blocks and low-rise with large continuous roof areas, gravel and an upstand all round.
The seventies, thousands of houses to the same layout. Almost all with a flat extension at the back and a shed or garage beside it.
Seventies and eighties, more generously laid out. Many extensions, carports and dormers, with roofs now reaching old age together.
The commercial side of town. Large flat roofs on warehouses and halls, with plant on top and many outlets.
