Dakdienst Nederland understands that a new roof is a major investment, both financially and in terms of safety and comfort. That is why the company focuses on a clear, efficient and safe process for every roof installation or replacement. From the very first inspection to the final quality check, every step is carefully planned and executed by experienced roofing specialists.
A well‑organised approach not only shortens the installation time, it also reduces the risk of errors, leakage and unnecessary costs. In practice, this means transparent communication, detailed preparation and a strict adherence to safety regulations on every project. Clients know exactly what to expect, when the work will be carried out, and what measures are taken to protect their property and the surrounding environment.
Below you will find a detailed explanation of how Dakdienst Nederland completes roof installation and roof replacement efficiently and safely, which safety standards are followed, and how cost transparency and free roof inspections are integrated into their service. This way, you can make a well‑informed decision about your roof, whether it concerns a flat roof, pitched roof, tiles, bitumen or modern synthetic roofing materials.
Efficient Roof Installation: Dakdienst Nederland’s Proven Step‑by‑Step Approach
Dakdienst Nederland always starts with a thorough, free roof inspection. During this visit, a specialist assesses the current condition of the roof covering, the underlying structure, the insulation and all critical details such as chimneys, skylights, gutters and roof penetrations. Photographs and notes are made so that the situation is clearly documented. This free inspection is particularly valuable because the average price for a roof inspection in the Netherlands usually ranges from €100 to €250, but with Dakdienst Nederland this initial inspection is always without obligation and at no cost.
After the inspection, you receive an extensive explanation of the findings in clear, non‑technical language. Any defects, risks of leakage or structural problems are described, and different solution options are presented. For example, sometimes a partial repair is sufficient, while in other cases a complete roof replacement is a safer and more durable option. The roof specialist will also consider lifespan, maintenance requirements and possible energy savings through better insulation, so that you can choose the most suitable and cost‑effective solution for your situation.
This first phase ends with a transparent, written quotation. The document contains a breakdown of the materials, labour hours, any additional activities (for example, replacing roof insulation or adding roof edge finishing) and an indicative planning. In the Netherlands, the average cost for a complete roof replacement generally lies between €75 and €150 per m² for standard roofs, depending on material and complexity. These figures are only a global reference; for an exact and tailored price, Dakdienst Nederland always invites you to contact them directly for a personal offer based on your specific roof.
Once the offer is accepted, Dakdienst Nederland initiates a meticulous planning and preparation phase. Materials are ordered on time, the work is scheduled in consultation with the client, and the required equipment (such as scaffolding, lifts and safety railings) is reserved. The team also checks any local regulations or permits that may be required, for example in case of major structural changes or in protected cityscapes. This forward‑thinking planning ensures that the work can start on time and delays on site are minimised.
In addition, a detailed step‑by‑step work plan is drawn up. This plan describes exactly how the old roofing will be removed, how waste will be disposed of, which layers are applied in which order and how junctions, edges and penetrations will be finished. For complex roofs, for example with multiple dormers, skylights or installations, the plan is supplemented with drawings and photos. This careful preparation reduces the risk of miscommunication and ensures that every roofer on site knows exactly what is expected.
Before the actual work begins, the team explains the planning and approach to the client once more. Matters such as noise, accessibility, temporary closure of certain entrances and the expected duration of the work are discussed in advance. In many cases, a standard roof replacement can be completed in a few days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof. By aligning these details clearly beforehand, Dakdienst Nederland ensures that you know exactly where you stand and that any impact on your daily life is kept to a minimum.
During the removal of the old roof covering, Dakdienst Nederland works systematically and in zones. The roof is never completely opened unnecessarily; instead, the old material is removed in manageable sections and immediately followed by the installation of new layers. This method is especially important in the Dutch climate, where sudden showers can occur. By working section by section and using temporary seals, the underlying construction and interior spaces remain protected against rain and moisture as much as possible.
The team pays particular attention to the condition of the roof structure and the substrate. If rot, moisture damage or structural weaknesses are discovered after removing the old covering, this is immediately discussed with the client. Where necessary, woodwork, roof boarding or insulation are replaced or reinforced. This prevents the new roof from being placed on an unsound base, which could shorten its lifespan. Although this can lead to additional costs, it is always discussed transparently and substantiated with photos and clear explanations.
Once the base is in order, the actual installation of the new roofing begins. Depending on the chosen system (for example, bitumen, EPDM, PVC for flat roofs or tiles for pitched roofs), the new layers are applied in strict accordance with the guidelines of both the manufacturer and Dakdienst Nederland’s own quality standards. Seams are carefully welded or glued, tiles are fixed with the correct overlap and fixings, and all edges and junctions are executed watertight. A deliberate and efficient working rhythm ensures that the roof is quickly closed again and that the risk of leakage is reduced to a minimum.
Safety, Cost Transparency and Free Roof Inspections Explained
Safety plays a central role in every project of Dakdienst Nederland. Before work starts, the team performs a safety analysis of the site: the height of the building, access routes, traffic around the building and any obstacles such as trees or adjacent buildings are considered. Based on this, the correct fall protection is chosen, such as scaffolding with guardrails, roof edge protection, anchor points and personal safety harnesses. Tools and equipment are also checked before use to ensure that they are in good technical condition.
During the work, the roofers follow strict safety protocols. Ladders are secured, materials are not left loose on the edge of the roof, and waste is immediately collected in containers or bags to prevent falling objects. The team is trained to recognise dangerous situations, such as weak roof surfaces, strong wind or slippery conditions due to rain or frost, and will temporarily suspend work if the situation is unsafe. These procedures may seem strict, but they protect both the workers and the residents or passers‑by around the property.
Safety also extends to fire risk and environmental aspects. When using open flames (for example, with certain bitumen systems), fire extinguishers and fire blankets are always present, and flammable materials are stored safely. Wherever possible, Dakdienst Nederland opts for modern, flameless application methods and sustainable materials that are less harmful to the environment. Old roofing and insulation are separated and disposed of via certified waste processors as much as possible, and recyclable materials are reused in the correct waste streams. This way, the roof installation is not only safe, but also more environmentally responsible.
A common concern for many clients is cost. Dakdienst Nederland therefore attaches great importance to cost transparency. From the first quotation onward, the different cost items are clearly specified: material prices, labour, possible crane or lift hire, gutter work, roof windows or other additional elements. This prevents unpleasant surprises afterwards and allows you to compare and assess the offer properly.
To give a general idea:
- Flat roof replacement (bitumen, EPDM or PVC): on average €75 to €130 per m² in the Netherlands, depending on the material chosen and insulation requirements.
- Pitched tiled roof replacement: generally between €90 and €150 per m², depending on tile type (ceramic, concrete), condition of the structure and finishing details.
- Partial repairs or small maintenance jobs: often from around €150 to €750, depending on the scope and accessibility.
These price ranges are only indicative averages for the Dutch market. The exact costs for your roof depend on many factors, such as surface area, type of roofing, roof shape, accessibility and any additional work such as installing insulation or roof windows. For a precise and tailored price, Dakdienst Nederland explicitly advises you to contact them. Only after a free roof inspection and a detailed assessment can a reliable and realistic quotation be drawn up for your specific situation.
The free roof inspection offered by Dakdienst Nederland is a key part of their service and distinguishes them from many other providers. While roof inspection in the Netherlands often costs between €100 and €250 at other companies, Dakdienst Nederland performs this for free and without obligation. This gives you an honest and expert assessment of the condition of your roof without any financial threshold.
During this inspection, you may expect:
- A visual and, where necessary, physical inspection of the roof surface, edges, gutters and junctions.
- An assessment of possible leaks, blisters, cracks, loose parts or wear.
- A check of details such as chimneys, skylights, roof penetrations and ventilation openings.
- Advice on maintenance, repair or total replacement, including an indication of lifespan and risks.
Afterwards, the findings are discussed in peace and clarity. You receive clear advice and can ask all your questions regarding materials, lifespan, insulation, sustainability and costs. You are not obliged to proceed with the work, but you do gain the information necessary to make a well‑considered decision. Should you decide to proceed, the roofers will plan the work efficiently and safely, based on everything discovered during the inspection.
A roof installation or replacement is far more than simply placing new material on an existing structure. It is a process in which efficient planning, strict safety measures and complete cost transparency go hand in hand. Dakdienst Nederland has developed a step‑by‑step approach that ensures your roof is installed professionally, safely and in accordance with Dutch standards, from the first free roof inspection to the final quality control.
By combining technical expertise with clear communication and honest advice, Dakdienst Nederland ensures that you understand exactly what is happening on your roof and why certain choices are made.
