Different types of roofing
Different types of roofing are possible for each type of roof. Depending on the condition of your roof, your personal preference and our findings during the roofing replacement process, we will work together to choose the most appropriate roofing material.
Roofing replacement flat roof
- PVC replacement: The advantage of replacing PVC is that the new roofing will last another 25 years or so. Also, PVC can be installed in white, which reflects sunlight and thus provides extra cooling in the summer months.
- Bitumen replacement: Bitumen roofing is the most commonly chosen option in the Netherlands for flat roofs.
- EPDM replacement: EPDM looks a lot like bitumen at first glance, but on the other hand, they are highly elastic. This elasticity makes the roof less susceptible to temperature changes and therefore lasts up to 40 years.
Replacing roofing on pitched roof
There are also options for replacing roofing on a pitched roof:
- Roof tile replacement: This form of roofing is most common on pitched roofs. There are often three materials chosen for tile roofing: slate, ceramic or concrete.
- Thatched roofing: replacing Thatched roofs we see less and less in practice, but give certain types of homes or properties such appearance that choosing an alternative is often not preferable. The thatched roof should be completely replaced at least once every 45 years; maintenance is required at least every 5 years. This makes thatched roofing a costly choice.
- Metal roofing replacement: This form of roofing is becoming increasingly popular because of the looks the it gives to a home or property. Other major advantages are that metal roofing is maintenance-free and has a very long life. The most commonly chosen options are zinc, aluminum and copper.

When to replace your roofing?
Having your roofing replaced should be done in a timely manner; we recommend having it done every 15 years. Replacing your roofing prevents leaks. Leaks can eventually result in greater damage, such as damage to the roof structure or walls in your home or building.
A roof inspection may also reveal that your roofing needs to be replaced, before the 15 years is up. Weak spots in the roofing or other damage will be identified. We therefore recommend that you have a roof inspection by an experienced roofer from Roofers 24/7 once every 2-3 years.
Installing new roofing over old roofing
Installing new roofing over existing roofing can only be done on flat roofs. In the case of pitched roofs, this option is not available. The three possible insulation materials can all be used to place over old roofing. The biggest advantage is that this job is done relatively faster and therefore more economical. So is your flat roof covered with PVC, bitumen or EPDM? Then it may be possible to install new roofing over the old roofing! Would you like to know more about the possibilities or would you like tailor-made advice? The professionals at Dakdekker 24/7 are ready for you.
Helpful tips for roofing replacement
It is important to choose a quality replacement for your roofing. This is not only in the materials you choose, but also in the performer who actually replaces your roofing. Therefore, pay close attention to the points below before you choose the first and best roofing contractor:
Hallmarks
A seal of approval shows customers that they are dealing with a certified roofer. The different labels that can be earned by a roofer are:
- KOMO: Guarantees the quality of various types of roofing materials;
- SCC: A SCC certificate is awarded when working in accordance with safety, environmental and health guidelines;
- Roofing Master: This is a national foundation of qualified roofers;
- Dumedo DWS: This is a trade association for roofers who install metal roofing. Member roofers work with high quality metals.
Choose experience
Replacing roofing is a specialized job that requires the necessary knowledge and experience. Therefore, it is important to be sure that you are partnering with an experienced roofer. In addition to the experience of the roofer, it is also important that the roofer is part of an experienced roofing company. By looking into such things as the warranty period offered, reviews and practices of the company, you will quickly know if you are dealing with a confidential party.
Green roof most environmentally conscious
A green roof is an increasingly chosen form of roofing because, among other reasons, it is the most environmentally conscious choice. The life of the roofing is increased by the greenery because the roofing is less likely to be affected by weather or other influences. In addition, greenery provides cleaner air around the property and acts as a sound deadener.
Benefits of replacing roofing
Replacing your roofing has several short- and long-term benefits. The biggest benefits you gain by replacing your roofing on time:
- Ensure leak-free years: By having your roofing replaced on time, you are assured of quality roofing that protects against leaks. Leaks can eventually cause damage to walls, walls and even the roof structure.
- Have the roof insulated as well: If the roofing is being replaced and you don't already have roof insulation, you can combine these jobs into one. That way there is only one intensive job to do with the benefits of insulation and protection all at once.
- Improve the appearance of your property: The roof of your home, office, business or factory is visible to everyone. Neat roofing provides an overall well-groomed look to the property.
Disadvantages of replacing roofing
Unfortunately, in addition to the advantages of replacing roofing, there are also some disadvantages. The biggest disadvantages when replacing roofing are:
- Costs: The cost of replacing roofing is not covered by your homeowners insurance or contents insurance, even if damage has occurred. Unfortunately, a subsidy for the cost is also not applicable.
- Environmental permit: In some cases, it is necessary to apply for an environmental permit from the municipality before work begins. Through your municipality, you can find out if an environmental permit is required in your case for roofing replacement.
- Solar panels: Another drawback when replacing roofing is the transfer of any solar panels. The old roofing needs to be removed. To do this, disconnecting the solar panels is a requirement. It is of course important that the panels are carefully and professionally put back in place. Transferring solar panels to new roofing makes the project a lot more costly than when there are no solar panels present on the roof.
Replacing roofing? Choose an overhang roof
An overlay roof is an inexpensive alternative to replacing existing roofing. The existing roofing can be retained, saving the roofer a lot of work. The replacement roof is placed over the existing roof construction. This is done by first placing a construction of battens and laths and then placing the new roof covering on top. Unfortunately, an add-on roof is not possible for all types of roofing materials. This method of roofing is only possible with shingles, slates, roofing or corrugated sheets.

Why a roof inspection?
