Frequently asked questions
It depends on the condition of your tiles. If only a few are cracked or have shifted, we replace those individually, which is faster and more affordable. If many tiles are porous or weathered, or the structure beneath is letting in moisture, we recommend a full re-tiling to prevent recurring leaks. You always receive honest advice: repair where possible, replacement only when it is truly needed.
For a partial replacement we source tiles that match your roof as closely as possible in model, colour and size, so the difference is barely noticeable. With the older homes we often see in Amstelveen, Amsterdam and Haarlem, an exact match is not always available; if so, we talk you honestly through the options. Sometimes re-tiling a full roof slope gives a cleaner result than mixing in individual tiles.
Yes. The tiles themselves do not stop all water; the real waterproofing comes from the breathable underlay membrane and the battens the tiles rest on. During a replacement we always inspect this substructure and renew rotten membrane or damaged battens wherever needed. This stops you facing leaks again soon afterwards, despite having new tiles.
Good ceramic or concrete tiles often last for many decades, but the battens, membrane and ridge connections usually age faster than the tiles themselves. In many older homes the substructure is therefore due for renewal sooner than you might expect at first glance. We work with high-quality materials and skilled installation, which is why we offer up to 15 years warranty on our work.
Watch for porous, cracked, moss-covered or shifted tiles, damp patches in the loft, a musty smell, or loose fragments in the gutter. Worn ridge tiles and connections are another common warning sign.
