Ridge tiles and flashings — Zuid-Holland

City roofs and coastal exposure

For a terraced property in The Hague, Leiden or Delft, ridge and chimney work can involve shared boundaries, narrow access and scaffolding above the pavement. For a coastal location, ask how exposure affects fastening and the work method. Assess the actual address; a province name alone does not determine wind loading.

Plan access and the repair boundary

For an apartment building in Rotterdam or Dordrecht, establish which ridge lengths and chimneys belong to the shared work. Agree access with the association or manager and keep the end-of-day weather protection clear. Include masonry defects in the survey where they can affect the flashing; replacing lead alone will not repair an open joint above it.
