What I do in Oud-Beijerland
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 Oud-Beijerland, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Oud-Beijerland
Around its historic centre Oud-Beijerland expanded considerably between the sixties and the nineties. Poortwijk and the districts around it are full of family houses with a flat extension, a shed or a garage, and there are a fair number of smaller business premises with a flat roof.
What that means for your roof
A flat extension of thirty or forty years old has usually had a new layer at some point. Whether a third can go on top of that depends on what lies underneath. I look at that on site and you hear straight away what is sensible.
Two layers, and whether a third can go on
On many extensions in Poortwijk and Croonenburgh a second layer of bitumen is already in place. Whether a third can go over it cannot be judged from the ground: it depends on whether moisture sits between the old layers and on the state of the insulation. If that moisture is there, it stays underneath and the new layer fails just as fast. So I always look on the roof itself first, and sometimes open up a small section to see what lies beneath. After that you know which of the two it will be.
What people in Oud-Beijerland ask
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If there is moisture in the old layers or the insulation is soaked, it stays underneath and the new layer fails just as fast. I will tell you so.
At the roof edge and the upstands the build-up can usually be read off. If I am in doubt I open a small section and close it up neatly afterwards.
Yes. On a larger roof the work can be done in phases, so the premises stay in use.
Where in Oud-Beijerland is your roof?
Old buildings standing close together. Small flat roofs behind the facade, with plenty of lead work at the junctions.
The largest expansion, eighties and nineties. Family houses with a flat extension at the back and a shed beside it.
Seventies and eighties. Rows of houses with extensions and garages all of the same age.
More generously laid out, with carports and outbuildings that almost all have a flat roof.
Shops with flats above and flat roofs on the extensions behind, often reachable across an inner courtyard.
Business premises and warehouses with larger flat roofs, where surface area and good drainage are what count.
