Leak in Ridderkerk?
Calling is quickest. Ridderkerk is about ten minutes away, so I can usually come out soon and book the visit there and then.
What I do in Ridderkerk
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 Ridderkerk, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Ridderkerk
Drievliet, Slikkerveer and Bolnes are post-war and were filled in further during the seventies. Many family houses with a flat extension, and streets with rows of lock-up garages that all have a flat roof. Rijsoord and Oostendam lie on the old ribbon, with more detached building.
What that means for your roof
Rows of lock-up garages are a story of their own: it is one continuous roof across several owners, and the bitumen often runs straight through. If water comes through somewhere, the cause is rarely directly above the wet patch. Tracing it is part of the job.
A roof that runs across several owners
With a row of lock-up garages there is one continuous roof over garages belonging to different owners. That means a repair in one spot is rarely the whole story: the water runs under the covering to the lowest point. So I always walk the entire area and discuss with the owners involved what is needed, so everyone knows where they stand before anything happens. For the rest of Ridderkerk: I am there within a quarter of an hour, so for urgent work this is a comfortable distance.
What people in Ridderkerk ask
Then I look at the whole area rather than at one unit. I discuss with the owners what needs doing, so there are not two separate fixes on the same roof.
Ridderkerk borders my village, so usually within fifteen minutes. Give me a call and you will hear straight away when I can come.
A puddle after rain is normal. If it stands for days, the fall or the drainage is not right and the covering wears out faster. That can be put right during a renovation.
Where in Ridderkerk is your roof?
Post-war low-rise with flat extensions, alongside blocks whose roof areas run on in one piece.
Older, along the Nieuwe Maas. Mixed building with smaller flat roofs and many junctions against brick facades.
Sixties and seventies, built close together. Rows of sheds and lock-up garages under one continuous flat roof.
Shops with flats above and flat roofs on the extensions behind, often reachable only across an inner courtyard.
The old ribbon. More detached, with barns and outbuildings that have a flat roof of their own.
The commercial side: warehouses and halls with large flat roofs, where fall and drainage decide the job.
