After every severe storm in the Netherlands, hidden roof damage is one of the biggest risks for leaks, structural issues and high repair costs. Dakdienst Nederland offers specialised emergency roof inspection services to help property owners quickly assess the condition of their roofs, secure vulnerable areas and prevent small problems from becoming major damage. Below you will find a complete explanation of how these emergency checks work, what you can expect on site, and how Dakdienst Nederland handles pricing and communication in a transparent and professional way.
Rapid emergency roof checks after storms by Dakdienst Nederland
After heavy wind, rain or hail, Dakdienst Nederland prioritises rapid emergency roof inspections to minimise further damage. The company organises its planning so that storm‑related calls are handled with urgency, often within the same day, depending on the region and the severity of the weather event. The first goal is always safety: both for the residents and for the property itself. That means checking not only for obvious issues such as missing tiles, torn roofing membranes or displaced flashing, but also for less visible weaknesses that could lead to leaks in the days or weeks after the storm.
During an emergency inspection, the roofing specialist from Dakdienst Nederland follows a structured process. First, a visual check is carried out from ground level to identify unsafe areas, loose materials and potential falling hazards. Next, a controlled roof access is set up using appropriate safety equipment, in line with Dutch safety regulations. On the roof itself, the roofer checks:
- Roof covering (tiles, bitumen, EPDM, PVC or other materials) for cracks, lifting edges and impact damage
- Flashings, ridges and eaves for loosened parts
- Gutters, drains and downpipes for blockages and storm‑related deformation
- Roof penetrations (chimneys, skylights, ventilation pipes) for compromised seals
One of the key advantages of Dakdienst Nederland is that the storm inspection itself is always free of charge, regardless of roof type or size. In the Dutch market, an extensive roof inspection often costs between €75 and €200 depending on complexity and travel distance, but Dakdienst Nederland explicitly chooses to offer this part of the service without costs. This allows property owners to request a quick and professional damage assessment without financial hesitation, and to make an informed decision about any follow‑up repairs. For exact information about possible repair costs after the free inspection, customers are always advised to contact the company directly.
Free post‑storm inspections and transparent Dutch pricing
A core principle of Dakdienst Nederland is clarity: clients must know exactly where they stand after a storm. The free post‑storm inspection therefore results in a clear, structured report of the findings. This can be provided verbally on site, supplemented by photos, or in a written overview if required. The roofer will indicate which issues are urgent, which are medium‑term risks, and which are more cosmetic in nature. This helps property owners to prioritise and, if necessary, to substantiate insurance claims with concrete observations and image material.
Although roof inspections in the Netherlands commonly have a price tag, Dakdienst Nederland does not charge for this first emergency assessment after storms or severe weather. Where other providers might charge €75–€200 for a similar inspection, Dakdienst Nederland focuses on building long‑term relationships and trust. Costs only come into play when repairs or preventive work are actually carried out. To give an impression of the broader market:
- Minor leak repairs often range between €150 and €350
- Replacement of several damaged tiles can range between €100 and €300
- Local repairs on flat roofs (bitumen or EPDM) commonly range between €200 and €600, depending on the damaged area
It is important to stress that these amounts are indicative averages for the Dutch market and not fixed prices. The exact costs depend on factors such as roof height and accessibility, type of covering, extent and location of the damage, and possible additional safety measures (for example scaffolding or aerial platforms). Dakdienst Nederland always discusses the pricing clearly in advance, provides a specification per activity if desired, and does not start any paid work without explicit approval from the client. For an accurate quotation tailored to your specific roof and storm damage, you should always contact Dakdienst Nederland directly.
Emergency roof inspections after storms are not a luxury but a necessity to prevent leaks, structural damage and high follow‑up costs. With free post‑storm checks, fast response times and transparent pricing that reflects Dutch market conditions, Dakdienst Nederland offers property owners a reliable partner in turbulent weather conditions. By combining professional roof assessment, clear reporting and carefully discussed repair options, the company ensures that clients can make well‑informed decisions and restore the safety and durability of their roofs as quickly and efficiently as possible.
