What I do in Krimpen 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 Krimpen aan den IJssel, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Krimpen aan den IJssel
Langeland, Kortland and Lansingh-Zuid were built in the sixties, seventies and eighties. Many terraced houses with a flat extension, blocks with large flat roofs, and streets of sheds all finished flat.
What that means for your roof
With this kind of house a leak is rarely in the middle of the roof. Usually it is a junction: where the extension meets the facade, at an outlet, or along the roof edge. So that is where I start looking.
Why a leak is rarely where you see it
Water comes in at the lowest point, not where it passed through the covering. It travels along the roof deck, sometimes for metres, and only then drips down. So I never start in the middle of the area but at the junctions: the upstand against the facade, the outlets, the roof edge and the rainwater drain. Tracing it is part of the job and happens before anything is opened up. Only once it is clear where the water comes from do you know whether a repair will do.
What people in Krimpen aan den IJssel ask
Often it can. Water travels along the roof deck and comes in at the lowest point. That is why tracing it is a craft of its own and part of my work.
Put a bucket under it and move anything that could get wet. Do not go up on the roof yourself if it is slippery; give me a call instead and you will hear when I can come.
Yes. A large area I tackle in strips, so each day ends with a closed section and no open roof is ever left behind.
Where in Krimpen aan den IJssel is your roof?
The seventies, put up in one piece. Terraced houses with a flat extension and rows of sheds running on into one another.
Comparable building with walk-up blocks in between, whose roof areas run on across the whole block.
Younger and more spacious, with carports and garages almost all carrying a flat roof.
The oldest part, along the Hollandsche IJssel. Small roof areas with many corners, and lead work where the roof meets the facade.
Post-war low-rise, close together. Extensions with short spans and a lot of edge per square metre.
The shipyard and industrial side. Large flat roofs on warehouses and halls, with many outlets and plant.
