When should you call for an emergency?

With an open or leaking roof, every minute counts. The faster we arrive, the less damage inside the home. For acute situations, we always recommend calling directly instead of filling out the form. I answer the phone myself and usually already know on the call what needs to be done.

For emergencies we come the same working day, or the next working day if you call in the evening or on the weekend. We first make the roof watertight with a temporary covering. Then we schedule the permanent repair.

  • Active leak inside
  • Fallen or loose tiles
  • Storm damage or blown-off zinc
  • Torn bitumen or flat roof
  • Loose lead flashings
  • Moisture or drips in the attic

What do we do in an emergency?

During an emergency repair, we first make the roof temporarily watertight so no further damage occurs inside. Then we plan the permanent solution together. Clear rates, photo documentation for your insurance and 10 year warranty on all permanent repairs.

We arrive as quickly as possible, make the roof temporarily watertight and stop the leak. This gives you immediate peace of mind. You receive a photo report for your own records or insurance.

Material costs for the temporary covering are invoiced separately.

Permanent repair

After the emergency repair

Once the roof is watertight again, we schedule the permanent solution. Depending on the damage, this involves replacing loose tiles, new lead flashings, patching bitumen or a larger roof renovation. Always a clear quote in advance.

Warranty
10 year on installation
  • Clear fixed price

Chimney with new lead work repaired by Dakdokter Noord

Chimney repair and renovation

A leaking chimney is one of the most common causes of moisture damage in the home. The junction between chimney and roof is a vulnerable spot: lead flashings deteriorate, pointing crumbles and sealant cracks due to temperature changes. The result: water running along the chimney into the house and damp spots on the ceiling or wall.

We handle both repairs and full chimney renovations. From replacing lead flashings and pointing to rebuilding a weathered chimney entirely. For a full renovation, we also install a new cover plate and ensure the chimney lasts for years to come.

  • New lead flashings around the chimney
  • Pointing repaired or chimney rebuilt
  • Cover plate or chimney cap installed
  • Combine with ridge or roof renovation

Roof damage and insurance: how does it work?

Most building insurance policies cover roof damage from storms, hail or falling branches. Yet many homeowners do not know exactly how to file a claim or what documentation is needed. We are happy to help you with that.

With every emergency repair, we create a detailed photo report of the damage, both before and after the repair. You can send this report directly with your insurance claim. Our invoice is clearly structured so your insurer can see exactly what was done and why.

  • Photo report before and after the repair
  • Detailed invoice for your insurer
  • Help filling in your damage report
  • Experience with all major insurers in the Netherlands

What can you do yourself during a roof leak?

During an active leak, it is important to act quickly. Place buckets or basins under the drips and put down towels to limit water damage to the floor. Do you have access to the attic? Check if the water is coming in at a specific point.

Take photos of the leak and the spot on the roof where you suspect the damage. This helps us make an initial assessment already on the phone. Do not try to go on the roof yourself, especially not in rain or wind. That is dangerous and often unnecessary: with good photos and a phone description, we know enough to come straight away with the right materials.

  • Catch the water with buckets and towels
  • Take photos of the damage inside and outside
  • Do not go on the roof yourself in bad weather
  • Call us directly: we come as quickly as possible

If you call during the day and you are within our service area, we try to come the same working day for an emergency repair. On weekends or evenings, we usually come the next working day. For acute water leaks, we help immediately with tips to limit damage inside.
Call immediately for an active leak in your home, storm damage with loose or fallen tiles, a torn bitumen roof where water comes through, or if loose roof parts are on the street. The sooner we come, the less follow-up damage.
First, we make the roof immediately watertight with a temporary covering, emergency tarpaulins or bitumen patch. This gives you immediate peace of mind. Then we take photos, discuss the permanent solution and schedule the lasting repair. Often you can pass the costs to your insurance.
For an emergency repair, we charge a call-out fee of 65 EUR and then work at an hourly rate of 55 to 75 EUR per hour, depending on the work. Material costs are added. For a permanent repair, you receive a clear quote in advance.
Damage from storms, hail or unforeseen events is usually covered by your building insurance. We provide photos and a substantiated quote that you can submit to your insurer. Wear and deferred maintenance are usually not covered.
We respond urgently to Groningen, Noord-Drenthe (up to Assen) and East Friesland (up to Drachten and Leeuwarden). For locations further away, we assess on a case-by-case basis whether we can arrive in time.
