What I do in Waddinxveen
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 Waddinxveen, and what that means for you
The roofscape of Waddinxveen
Waddinxveen consists of two halves with the Gouwe in between. On the eastern side lie Zuidplas and Groenswaard, expansions from the seventies and eighties with many terraced houses, flat extensions and sheds. On the western side runs the older ribbon along the water, with mixed building and smaller roof areas.
What that means for your roof
In the polder around Waddinxveen little stands in the way, so a good deal of wind reaches a roof. Loose sections and a poorly fixed roof edge are more of a problem here than in a densely built town. During a renovation I pay extra attention to that.
Wind in the polder, and the zinc work with it
Around Waddinxveen the land is open, and a roof feels that at the edges. That is usually where the damage starts: a roof trim coming loose, an upstand lifting, and then the water gets behind it. During a renovation I therefore look not only at the area but above all at how the edges are fixed. It is also the moment to take the zinc work along: gutter, downpipe and wall capping are open anyway, so it saves setting up a second time.
What people in Waddinxveen ask
Yes. Gutter, downpipe and wall capping belong to the roof, and taking them along during a renovation saves setting up a second time.
Because the wind has most purchase there and the head of the roofing sits at that point. In open polder country that is noticeably stronger than in a sheltered street.
Yes. On a commercial roof it starts with measuring in what is already up there: units, cable trays and outlets all shape how the work runs.
Where in Waddinxveen is your roof?
Seventies and eighties. Rows of houses with a flat extension at the back and sheds attached to one another.
The same building wave, with low-rise and walk-up housing in between carrying larger continuous roof areas.
Post-war building, close together. Small extensions with many edges and junctions against the neighbours.
Older and irregular building right on the water. Small roof areas with plenty of lead work and the full wind.
Recent building, with carports, dormers and extensions still carrying their first layer.
Industrial estate with warehouses and halls, where many roofs carry plant and cable trays that want measuring in.
