Roofer in Rotterdam: gutters, flat roofs and tiled roofs

Rotterdam is the city of the flat roof. Thanks to the post-1945 reconstruction, the vast majority of homes — from Hoogvliet to Kralingen — have a bitumen or EPDM flat roof. Dakgoed works in all of Rotterdam’s districts and across the Rijnmond region (Schiedam, Capelle, Barendrecht, Spijkenisse).

What we do in Rotterdam

We handle every kind of roofing work in Rotterdam: from an emergency leak repair to a complete roof replacement with insulation. Our services in Rotterdam:

Common roof problems in Rotterdam

  • Post-war walk-up flats in Charlois, Feijenoord and IJsselmonde often still have the original bitumen top layer from when they were built. It is brittle, cracks at the corners and leaks around roof penetrations — replacement is usually more urgent than owners think.
  • The wind off the sea and along the Maas is consistently stronger in Rotterdam than inland. Roof edges without proper ballast or mechanical fixing get blown off — we always check the wind load in line with NEN 6707.
  • High-rise buildings in the centre often have EPDM with gravel ballast. With a leak, the gravel has to come off first, then detection. We have a set procedure that keeps disruption to a minimum.
  • In the port areas (Waalhaven, Botlek), corrosive air takes a heavy toll on zinc gutters and steel roof edges. Here we recommend aluminium or coated steel.

Frequently asked questions — roofer in Rotterdam

How much does a roofer cost in Rotterdam?

The price depends on the type of work. An emergency leak repair starts from €185 including call-out. A complete bitumen flat roof renovation of 50 m² comes to around €4,500–€6,500 including insulation. A new zinc gutter in Rotterdam typically costs €85–€110 per linear metre, fitted. You always get a fixed price quoted in advance — no open-ended hourly billing.

How quickly can a roofer come out to us in Rotterdam?

For an acute leak we are usually in Rotterdam within 24-48 hours. For regular quotes we schedule the inspection within a week. During storms or heavy rain this can take a little longer — we are upfront about the waiting time.

Does Dakgoed cover all of Rotterdam?

Yes, in every part of Rotterdam and the surrounding municipalities in South Holland. Centrum, Kralingen, Charlois, Feijenoord, IJsselmonde, Hillegersberg, Hoogvliet, Pernis — we cover them all. Whether you live in a terraced house, a detached house, a flat or a commercial property.

Do I get a guarantee on the work?

On new materials we pass on the manufacturer’s guarantee (5 to 25 years depending on the product), and we give 10 years on our own installation work. On top of that: a 100% satisfaction promise — if you’re not happy, neither are we, and we put it right.

How do I know if my roof in Rotterdam needs replacing?

Signs that point to replacement: recurring leaks, visible cracks or blisters in bitumen, cracked or blown-off tiles, rotten timber gutters, mould or damp patches on the top-floor ceiling. If in doubt, let us come round for free and you will get an honest assessment — sometimes a targeted repair is enough for another 10 years of use.
