What I do in Sliedrecht
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 Sliedrecht, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Sliedrecht
Sliedrecht is a long village along the river. In Baanhoek and the streets behind Kerkbuurt stand many houses from the sixties and seventies with a flat extension or a garage. Along the dyke stands the older work: mixed, and often with small roof areas carrying a lot of edges.
What that means for your roof
On the river side there is more wind on a roof than further inland. You notice that at the edges. That is where the damage usually starts. A good upstand and a clean finish at the roof edge is no luxury here but half the job.
A village some five kilometres long
Sliedrecht stretches out along the river, and you notice that in the work. On the dyke side the buildings face the water: narrow areas, many corners, and an access route that differs from one property to the next. A few hundred metres inland, in Baanhoek, it is suddenly ordinary terraced housing where the van can come round the back and the work runs without detours. So when measuring up I look above all at how I get there, because here that varies street by street.
What people in Sliedrecht ask
It is a warning. Loose sections tear in time and then the water gets behind them. Have it looked at before autumn arrives.
Because that is where the covering stops. Everywhere else it lies on its own; only at the edge does it have to be fixed to something, and that is exactly what the wind pulls at.
Yes, and during a renovation that is the logical moment. The gutter is open anyway and the roof edge is already loose.
Where in Sliedrecht is your roof?
Sixties and seventies. Terraced houses with a flat extension at the back and a shed or garage that has been there just as long.
The newest extension of the village. Neatly built, with extensions and dormers still carrying their original covering.
Shops with flats above. Flat roofs behind the facade, small and with many junctions against the neighbours.
Post-war low-rise, close together. Extensions and sheds under flat roofs with a lot of edge per square metre.
Older and irregular building right on the water. Small roof areas, plenty of lead work and the full force of the river wind.
Warehouses and business units with large flat roofs, where fall and enough rainwater outlets make the difference.
