What I do in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht
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 Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht
Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht was built in waves, and you can see that in the roofs. In Kruiswiel and Sandelingen-Ambacht stand the terraced houses of the seventies and eighties, almost all with a flat extension at the back and a shed or garage beside it. De Volgerlanden was built from the turn of the century onwards: larger houses, plenty of dormers, and flat roofs over extensions and carports. Along the old ribbon developments at Oostendam and by the river stands the older work.
What that means for your roof
The flat roofs from the seventies and eighties are now due their second or third layer of bitumen. In De Volgerlanden the first roofs are reaching the age where it makes sense to have them looked at. Often a repair is still enough. Whatever it turns out to be: I come out, measure it and tell you honestly what needs doing.
How it works here in practice
I live and work in this village, so coming round to take a look is easily arranged. For an extension or a garage roof the van is at the door and the way up to the roof is short. In De Volgerlanden the streets are narrow with cars on both sides, so there I agree in advance where I will park and how the old material gets carried out. Whatever comes off, I take with me, so at the end of the day you get a clean terrace back.
What people in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht ask
Yes. I live and work here, so coming round costs me little effort. You will hear what I see, even if the answer is that you have years left.
Yes. A bitumen roof generally lasts twenty to thirty years, so around twenty-five is the moment to know where you stand. If it turns out to be fine, you simply hear that.
Certainly. They have usually been there just as long and tend to fail at the same time. Taking them in the same run saves setting up twice.
Where in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht is your roof?
Terraced houses from the seventies. Nearly every home has a flat extension at the back, with a shed or garage beside it under the same kind of roof.
A building wave later, but the same layout. Whole streets whose roofs went on at the same time, and which therefore reach old age together.
Built from the turn of the century. Larger houses with dormers, extensions and carports. The oldest roofs here are now approaching twenty-five years.
Older and more loosely built. Smaller roof areas with many edges, corners and junctions against the facade.
Mixed: flats above shops, extensions on inner courtyards, and flat roofs tucked in between pitched ones.
The commercial side of the village. Larger flat roofs on warehouses and business units, where surface area and good drainage are what count.
