What I do in Gouda
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 Gouda, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Gouda
The centre of Gouda has a great deal of old building with small, awkward flat roofs. Bloemendaal, Goverwelle and Korte Akkeren are younger and more generously laid out, with family houses carrying flat extensions and sheds.
What that means for your roof
What makes a job in Gouda distinctive is rarely the roof area itself but everything around it: a property hemmed in on three sides, a canal at the door and a roof edge that meets the neighbours. There is good work to be done there, but it wants thinking through beforehand.
Working in an old town centre
The centre of Gouda is full of properties where the roof can only be reached through the house or with a hoist along the facade, and where the street is too narrow to simply park a van at the door. That is no obstacle, but it does want arranging in advance: where the van stands, how the material goes up, and whether space on the pavement is needed. I check that when measuring up. In Goverwelle or Bloemendaal it is simpler: there I stand behind the house and the way up to the roof is short.
What people in Gouda ask
Usually at the party wall, with an upstand on either side. That transition is a sensitive spot, so I always check it, even when the leak is on your side.
On a flat roof behind the facade, usually yes, since it cannot be seen from the street. If there are conditions attached, I settle that beforehand.
There is drilling and torching, so it is not quiet. Whatever comes off I take with me, so you are not left with a pile of waste.
Where in Gouda is your roof?
Old, narrow premises around the Markt and the canals. Small flat roofs behind the facade, with plenty of lead work and an awkward way up.
Pre-war and post-war mixed together. Extensions on inner courtyards, with roof areas meeting those of the neighbours.
The seventies, generously laid out. Rows of family houses with a flat extension at the back and a shed beside it.
The eighties, built in a short time. Extensions, carports and sheds all of the same age.
More spacious and greener, with detached houses and outbuildings that often have a flat roof of their own.
New housing and business premises. Clean, larger roof areas with many outlets and plant.
