Roof renovation in Santpoort
Municipality of Velsen. Survey on the roof within 5 working days, with a photo report and an insulation calculation, and that report stays yours.
In short
Roofs in Santpoort
Two village centres, a municipality that is not Haarlem, and therefore another desk.
Santpoort consists of two centres that behave like one village and administratively belong to the municipality of Velsen. That last point comes first here: the Haarlem boundary runs right along the built-up area, and anyone filing a permit application at the wrong desk starts again a few weeks later.
Along Hoofdstraat, Bloemendaalsestraatweg and Wustelaan the stock is 1900 to 1940, with steep tiled roofs and the usual zinc gutters. Behind that and towards Velserbroek sits post-war building with shallower pitches, concrete tiles and more flat-roofed extensions. Within one street the difference between the two can be twenty metres.
The Brederode castle ruin and the estate land around it bring an extra assessment at some addresses. That is not the rule but it happens, and it is the kind of thing a contractor from outside the area discovers only when the permit is held. We check it per address during the survey.
What matters here
What matters in Santpoort
- Municipality of Velsen rather than Haarlem, with its own desk and its own lead times.
- Two centres, Santpoort-Noord and Santpoort-Zuid, from different building periods.
- Stock from 1900 to 1940 along Hoofdstraat, Bloemendaalsestraatweg and Wustelaan.
- Post-war building with shallower pitches and concrete tiles towards Velserbroek.
- Estate land around the Brederode ruin, where an extra assessment can apply per address.
- Concrete tiles that weigh more and last less than clay, which often makes switching back worth costing.
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 Santpoort
Santpoort-Noord and Santpoort-Zuid fall under the municipality of Velsen. That means a different desk, a different conservation policy and different lead times from Haarlem, even though the boundary is a short walk away. File at Haarlem and you lose several weeks.

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 Santpoort 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 Santpoort
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.
Which council do I need?
Velsen, for both centres. It feels wrong because Haarlem is closer and the public transport points that way, but the municipal boundary is what counts. We note during the survey which municipality your address falls under and which application belongs there.
I have concrete tiles. Can I go back to clay?
Often yes, and sometimes the roof even gets lighter for it. What has to happen first is that somebody looks at the structure, because batten spacing differs per profile and the loading changes. That is in the report, with the weights per square metre side by side.
Why is the survey five working days here and three in Haarlem?
Because we cap the number of surveys per day and travel time counts. Five working days is what we make here. That is not a worse promise than three, it is a different one. A deadline we miss costs more at the kitchen table than it gains on the phone.

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.
