Frequently asked questions
We start where the water shows up inside and trace it upward, because water often runs some distance along the roof boarding before it becomes visible. We then check the most common causes systematically: worn or cracked lead flashing around chimneys and dormers, shifted or broken roof tiles, open seams and blistering on flat bitumen or EPDM roofs, and blocked or leaking gutters. This way we find the real cause rather than just the symptom, so the repair lasts.
Yes, with an active leak quick action matters. You receive a reply within 2 hours via WhatsApp, and for urgent cases we are often on site within 24 hours in Amstelveen, Amsterdam, Haarlem, Heemstede and Hoofddorp. Send us a WhatsApp message right away, ideally with a photo of where the water is coming in, so we can quickly assess what is needed and make things watertight first if necessary.
Catch the dripping water in a bucket and move furniture, electronics and valuables away from the wet area. If moisture is near sockets or the ceiling, switch off that circuit in the fuse box as a precaution, and do not climb onto the roof yourself to secure loose parts. Take a photo of the damage for your insurer and send us a WhatsApp message; the sooner the cause is fixed, the lower the risk of damp patches, mould and damage to the roof structure.
That depends on the cause and the overall condition of your roof. Loose or broken tiles, worn lead flashing and a single open seam or crack in a flat roof can almost always be repaired in a targeted way, and that is what we recommend where possible. Only when the roof covering has hardened or become porous over a large area, or the roof leaks in several places, does a renovation make more sense; we always give honest advice and never push the more expensive option unnecessarily.
Yes, we resolve leaks on pitched tiled roofs and on flat roofs with bitumen or EPDM. On tiled roofs the issue is often shifted or broken tiles, worn ridge tiles or leaking lead flashing; on flat roofs it tends to be open seams, blistering, damaged upstands or poor drainage. We trace the cause and provide a durable, watertight finish using high-quality materials, backed by a warranty of up to 15 years.
