Roof renovation in Bloemendaal
Municipality of Bloemendaal. Survey on the roof within 4 working days, with a photo report and an insulation calculation, and that report stays yours.
In short
Roofs in Bloemendaal
Large pitched planes in slate and thatch, with gutters that fill with leaves every autumn.
Bloemendaal is where the conversation is least about the price per square metre. Along Bloemendaalseweg, Brederodelaan and around the Kerkplein stand houses with large pitched roof planes, frequently in natural slate or reed thatch, with deep overhangs and zinc box gutters carrying water off a considerable area.
What decides the life of a roof here stands beside it rather than on it: beech and oak reaching over the roof. Leaves fall into the gutter, leaves hold water, and water standing against zinc is what attacks it from above. Moss on the north face of a slate roof is normal here and not in itself a problem; leaves in the valley are.
On a slate roof the stone is almost never what has failed. What has failed are the hooks the slates hang from, and those can be replaced without stripping the whole plane. That is a large difference in money, and exactly why we measure first and price second: a quote that assumes a complete new slate roof by default is too high on eighty per cent of these houses.
What matters here
What matters in Bloemendaal
- Overveen, Aerdenhout, Vogelenzang and Bennebroek sit under the same municipality as Bloemendaal itself.
- Villa stock with large pitched planes along Bloemendaalseweg and Brederodelaan.
- Natural slate and reed thatch, where on slate it is usually the hooks rather than the stone that have gone.
- Beech and oak over the roof: leaf fall in the gutter decides how long the zinc work lasts here.
- Zinc box gutters draining a large area, where a leaf guard pays for itself.
- Position against the Zuid-Kennemerland national park can bring a provincial rule alongside the municipal one.
Want to know what is actually on your roof?
The survey costs nothing, takes about an hour, and produces a report with a photo per roof plane, the condition of the deck and the insulation calculation. That report stays yours.
The local rules
Permits and conservation rules in Bloemendaal
The municipality of Bloemendaal also covers Overveen, Aerdenhout, Vogelenzang and Bennebroek, and the villa parks have their own assessment framework. If your house sits against the Zuid-Kennemerland national park, a provincial rule can apply alongside the municipal one. Which of the two frameworks covers your plot is stated in the survey report, with the reference of the rule itself.

Send it along. We set out line by line what it does and does not cover, and that is often more useful than adding a third quote to the pile.
Indicative price per roof type
What a roof in Bloemendaal costs
Amounts per square metre of roof surface. What explains the spread is in the third column, and what is not included follows underneath.
| Roof type | Per m2 |
|---|---|
| Flat roof, two layers of bitumen | € 65 to € 95 |
| Flat roof, EPDM | € 80 to € 120 |
| Flat roof as a warm roof, with 160 mm PIR | € 150 to € 200 |

| Zinc roof plane or large valley gutter | € 160 to € 230 |
| Natural slate roof | € 180 to € 260 |
What is not included
Scaffolding, insulation, repair of a damaged deck, roof windows, and removing and refitting solar panels. All five appear as separate lines on the quote with a quantity and a unit rate, so that you can check them and strike them.
Why there is no fixed price here
Because we have not seen your roof. What makes a roof expensive is rarely the material and nearly always the access and the number of junctions. That is why the survey is free and the report is yours: then you can check what any quote is worth, including somebody else’s.

Questions
Questions about roofs in Bloemendaal
Missing your question here? Pick up the phone. About your own roof something concrete can be said; about roofs in general the page above has it covered.
Does a slate roof have to be replaced as a whole?
Rarely. Natural slate lasts eighty to a hundred years; the copper or stainless hooks it hangs from do not. During the survey we look at the hooks and at the boarding underneath, and if those hold, the work is rehanging loose slates rather than a new roof. That difference is a multiple in cost.
What does a leaf guard cost and does it help?
It is priced per running metre and under a beech it pays for itself: a gutter that is not packed with leaves demonstrably lasts longer. We put it on the quote as its own line so you can strike it if you clear the gutter yourself.
Can scaffolding reach a house set deep in the garden?
Nearly always, and usually from your own land. What matters here is the approach: a narrow drive with trees over it decides whether material arrives by lorry or by something smaller. We check that during the survey, because it sits in the price.

A photo of the eaves, the gutter or the place where it leaks says more than half a form. Send it ahead and we know what we are looking at.
