Roof Leaking?
Fast Action Prevents Costly Damage
A leaking roof is not just an inconvenience — it is an active threat to your property. Water entering through the roof travels along rafters, battens, and membranes, often appearing metres from the actual entry point. By the time you see a drip or damp patch, water may have already been soaking insulation, weakening timber, and damaging wiring for days.
In the Netherlands, our combination of heavy rainfall, strong coastal winds, and freeze-thaw cycles puts enormous stress on every roof type. Left unrepaired, a small leak can cause thousands of euros in structural damage within weeks — rotting roof decking, collapsing plaster, and dangerous mould behind walls.
- Active dripping? We locate the roof source and stop it immediately
- Damp patches growing? We trace the water path and repair the entry point
- Storm damage? Emergency tarping and permanent repairs for all roof types

Types of Roof Leaks We Repair Every Day
Dutch weather puts enormous stress on every roof type. Heavy rain, strong North Sea winds, and freeze-thaw cycles create the perfect conditions for leaks. Our experienced roofers have seen and fixed them all.
Tile Roof Leaks
Cracked, displaced, or missing tiles allow rainwater to penetrate the roof structure
Flat Roof Membrane Failure
Bitumen, EPDM, and PVC membranes crack, blister, or separate over time causing pooling and leaks
Flashing Deterioration
Damaged lead flashing around chimneys, dormers, and wall junctions is a top cause of persistent leaks
Gutter Overflow Leaks
Blocked or broken gutters force water under roof edges, behind fascia boards, and into ceilings
Chimney Stack Leaks
Cracked mortar joints and failed chimney flashing allow water to run down inside the chimney breast
Insurance Claims Made Simple
Dealing with a roof leak is stressful enough without the hassle of insurance paperwork. We handle the documentation side so you can focus on getting your home dry and safe again.
Insurance tip: Most Dutch opstalverzekering policies cover sudden water damage from storms and external causes. Report the leak to your insurer within 24 hours for best results. Gradual leaks from deferred maintenance are typically not covered — another reason to act fast when you spot a problem.

What Our Customers Say
Rated 4.9/5 based on 200+ reviews
"Our flat roof started leaking at midnight during a heavy storm. I called Dakwerkonderhoud expecting to leave a voicemail, but a real person answered immediately. Their roofer arrived within 2 hours, tarped the damaged area, and stopped the leak completely. They came back Monday morning for a permanent EPDM repair. Truly outstanding emergency service — I cannot recommend them highly enough."
"We noticed water stains spreading across our bedroom ceiling after weeks of rain. Their team traced the leak to damaged flashing around our chimney that had been letting water seep in undetected. The repair was done in one afternoon, they cleaned up perfectly, and provided full documentation for our insurance claim. Clear English communication throughout the entire process."
"Several roof tiles blew off during a winter storm and water was pouring into our attic. Dakwerkonderhoud arrived on a Sunday within 3 hours, replaced the broken tiles, and checked the entire roof for additional damage. Their quote was fair, the work was meticulous, and two years later we have had zero issues. A genuinely professional and trustworthy company."
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about roof leak repair in the Netherlands.
How quickly can you respond to a roof leak emergency?
In the Randstad area (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht), we typically arrive within 2-4 hours of your call. For other regions across the Netherlands, expect a response within 4-6 hours. We operate a fully staffed 24/7 emergency line, including weekends and public holidays, so there is never a time when you cannot reach us.
What types of roof leaks do you repair?
We handle every type of roof leak found in Dutch homes and buildings. This includes cracked or displaced roof tiles, failed flat roof membranes (bitumen, EPDM, PVC), deteriorated lead flashing around chimneys and dormers, blocked or broken gutters causing overflow, and chimney stack leaks. We also repair valley gutter leaks and skylight seal failures. No matter the roof type, we have the expertise to fix it.
How does water travel through a roof before it appears inside?
Water rarely drips straight down from the entry point. Once it penetrates the outer roof layer, it can travel along rafters, battens, and membranes for several metres before finding a gap to drip through your ceiling. This is why the wet patch on your ceiling is often far from the actual hole in the roof. Our roofers are trained in leak tracing techniques to follow the water path back to the true source.
Will my Dutch insurance cover the roof leak repair?
Most Dutch opstalverzekering (building insurance) policies cover sudden water damage caused by storms, falling trees, or burst pipes. However, gradual leaks resulting from deferred maintenance or wear and tear are typically excluded. We provide comprehensive photo documentation, detailed damage reports, and itemized invoices that Dutch insurers accept, making the claim process significantly smoother for you.
Do you provide temporary repairs or only permanent fixes?
We do both. During an emergency call-out, our first priority is to stop the water entering your home immediately using professional tarping, emergency sealants, or temporary patches. We then schedule a follow-up visit to carry out a permanent repair using quality materials with a warranty. This two-stage approach means your home is protected right away while we plan the lasting solution.
What should I do while waiting for your emergency roofer to arrive?
Place buckets or towels under any drips to catch water and protect your floors. Switch off electricity in the affected area at the fuse box to prevent short circuits. Move furniture, electronics, and valuables away from the wet zone. Take photos and video of the damage for your insurance claim. Most importantly, do not attempt to climb on the roof yourself, as wet roofs are extremely dangerous. Our professionals will handle everything safely.
