The roofs of Papendrecht, and what that means for you

The roofs here

The roofscape of Papendrecht

Papendrecht was largely built in the seventies and eighties. Wilgendonk, Molenvliet and Kraaihoek are full of terraced houses with a flat extension at the back, a shed and often a dormer. Along the dyke and in the old centre the building is older and more mixed.

What I look for

What that means for your roof

Those seventies extensions are now due their second or third covering. Usually you notice it at the edges first: blisters in the bitumen, an upstand coming loose, or a patch on the kitchen ceiling. At that point it can often still be repaired, provided you catch it in time.

Practical

How a day here goes

Papendrecht is just over the bridge, so for a leak or an inspection I am there in no time. Behind a terraced house I stand with the van in the street and the material goes up through the back gate or across the garden. The old roof comes off, goes into the van and is taken away. Most extensions are closed up again afterwards. If the insulation has to come too, that adds work; you will know before we start.

Frequently asked questions

What people in Papendrecht ask

There is a damp patch on the ceiling. Does the whole roof have to come off?

Far from always. First I find where the water actually gets in; that is rarely directly above the damp patch. Sometimes a repair of a few square metres is enough.

How quickly can you be there for a leak?

Papendrecht is ten minutes away. Give me a call and I will say straight away when I can come. Urgent work comes before scheduled work.

Can the zinc work or the dormer be done at the same time?

Yes, and that is the logical moment. The gutter is open anyway and the roof edge is already loose, so it saves setting up a second time.

By neighbourhood

Where in Papendrecht is your roof?

Wilgendonk

Seventies and eighties. Terraced houses with a flat extension at the back and a shed in the garden, all of the same age.

Molenvliet

Similar building, with dormers that meet the flat extension. That junction is exactly what needs attention.

Kraaihoek

Closer to the centre and a little older. Smaller roof areas, more corners, and more often a junction against the neighbours.

Oostpolder and Middenpolder

More generously laid out, with carports, garages and outbuildings that almost all have a flat roof.

Land van Matena

Recent building. Here it is about the finish and about the junctions around dormers and outlets.

The dyke and the old centre

Mixed, older building. Small flat roofs between pitched ones, with plenty of lead and zinc work around them.
