What I do in Schiedam
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 Schiedam, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Schiedam
Schiedam is old and densely built. In the old centre and around the distilleries flat roofs sit behind tall facades: narrow, and often reachable only from inside or with scaffolding. Nieuwland and Groenoord are post-war, with blocks and large continuous roof areas.
What that means for your roof
In Schiedam the route to the roof is often what makes a job unusual. So I always come and look for myself first: once I know how the material gets up, you also know what will happen on the day.
How the material gets up in the old town
Behind a narrow facade in the old centre there is rarely a roof you can simply reach. Sometimes the material goes through the house and up the stairs, sometimes with a hoist along the facade, and sometimes scaffolding is the only way. Whatever it turns out to be, I check it when measuring up and arrange it, including the permit if space on the pavement or the road is needed. In Groenoord or Woudhoek it is different: there the access is simple and it is mainly about the area.
What people in Schiedam ask
If it is needed, I arrange it and it is set out in full in the quote. You have nothing to do yourself.
Yes, I come across that often in Schiedam. I explain beforehand how the material goes up and where things will be put down, so you know what will be coming through the house that day.
Yes. I walk the complete roof and record what I find with photographs, so the committee can show it at the meeting and decide item by item.
Where in Schiedam is your roof?
Tall, narrow premises with flat roofs tucked away behind. Small areas, plenty of lead work, and rarely a direct way up.
Post-war walk-up blocks with large continuous roof areas, gravel on top and an upstand running right around the block.
Sixties and seventies high-rise and low-rise mixed together, with roof areas of hundreds of square metres.
More spacious and younger in layout. Family houses with a flat extension, a shed or a carport.
Building of recent decades, with extensions and dormers often still carrying their first layer.
Pre-war streets with extensions on inner courtyards, small in area and with many junctions against the neighbours.
