Roof renovation in Overveen
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 Overveen
Roof planes standing full in the westerly wind, with fixings calculated for it.
Overveen lies between Haarlem and the dunes, and that is precisely what a roof notices here. The houses on Zijlweg, Duinlustweg and Bloemendaalseweg present their western plane to the wind coming off the sea, with nothing in front to break it. What is enough with hooks alone in town gets clipped here.
The stock is largely 1900 to 1940: detached and semi-detached houses with steep roofs, mostly clay tiles and slate here and there. Around the station and Julianalaan the building is smaller and denser from the same period, with shorter roof planes and gutters hanging closer to the street.
The combination of wind and trees is why a roof here needs attention sooner than a comparable roof in Heemstede: branches scour the tiles, leaves fill the gutter, and the ridge tiles on the west side work loose faster. That goes into the report per roof plane rather than as a general remark, because the east side of the same house often has none of it.
What matters here
What matters in Overveen
- Municipality of Bloemendaal, under the same conservation policy as Bloemendaal and Aerdenhout.
- Stock from 1900 to 1940 on Zijlweg, Duinlustweg and around the station.
- Unsheltered western planes: ridge and verge tiles are clipped here rather than only hooked.
- Trees overhanging the roof, causing scour marks on tiles and leaves in the gutter.
- A real difference between the west and east faces of the same roof, recorded per plane.
- Buildings on the through route of the Zijlweg get a conservation assessment more often than those in side streets.
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 Overveen
Overveen belongs to the municipality of Bloemendaal, so the same desk and the same conservation policy. Buildings on Zijlweg and around the station are assessed more often than those in the side streets, because they sit on a through route.

Send it along and we will set it out beside ours
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 Overveen 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 |
| Tiled roof, clay, with new battens and membrane | € 95 to € 150 |
| Tiled roof with insulation between the rafters | € 170 to € 240 |
| 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 Overveen
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.
What are storm clips and do I need them?
A clip fixes the tile to the batten so it cannot lift when a gust gets underneath. On the ridge, the verges and the first course on the windward side they are nearly always needed here. On the sheltered plane of the same house usually not, and then we do not fit them there either.
There are branches on my roof. Do you prune?
No, that is tree work and we stay out of it. What we do is note in the report which branch causes damage and on which side, so you know what has to go before the new roof goes on.
Is a slate roof sensible here?
On a steep plane with enough pitch, yes, and many Overveen houses originally had it. What makes it expensive is not the stone but the structure: slate weighs more than a tile, and whether your roof carries that is a question to answer beforehand rather than halfway through the job.

Request the survey
You hear within one working day when we can come. The survey itself costs nothing and the report stays yours, including when you go on with somebody else.
Rather speak to somebody now
For a question about a quote you already have, or about what is allowed at your address, calling is faster than this form.
Start with a photo
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.
