Gutter cleaning, moss removal and small roof repairs
06-16-202-232Gutter cleaning, moss removal and small roof repairs
Roofs and gutters in Rotterdam take rain, wind and leaves from street trees. Moss and dirt hold moisture, water spills over the edge onto the façade and frames, and on flat roofs it sits until bitumen goes brittle. A clean roof lasts longer. Handyman Rotterdam cleans gently and reports straight away what is loose or leaking. Large renovations we leave to a roofer.
What we do
We sweep gutters, flush downpipes, remove moss from tiles and flat roofs, and carry out small repairs to tiles, lead and bitumen.
- Leaves and dirt out of the gutter, without damaging the zinc
- Moss and algae removed gently, no pressure washer on the tiles
- A check for cracks, lifted edges and soft spots
- The gutter outlet flushed until water runs away

Gutter cleaningCommon roof problems in Rotterdam
Roof ageing
Storms shift tiles, lead cracks and old bitumen becomes brittle. Each fault looks small on its own; together they mean leaks and rot in the boarding. Regular cleaning and a small repair in time keep the water out. In Rotterdam an autumn storm and the street trees can fill a gutter in one season. If water keeps spilling over the edge, it soaks the frame and the door and, in time, the floor of the top storey. So we check not only that the gutter is empty, but that the water actually runs away.

Gentle cleaning that protects the roof
Scrubbing the wrong way, or a pressure washer, damages coatings and tiles more than the dirt does. We sweep, treat moss and algae and rinse stains without opening the surface. Then we look at edges, cracks and soft spots.
When cleaning is not enough
If edges lift, the coating crumbles or a storm has shifted a run of tiles, a repair is wiser than another wash. We check the boarding first. A new layer on rotten timber will not last. We say honestly when a roofer should take over.
