In Nijkerk, Smienk Dakwerken carried out a complete ridge renovation on a house with a tiled roof. Due to age and weather influences, the existing ridge was no longer in optimal condition. Wear was visible in various places on the ridge tiles and the underlying finish, making a thorough renovation necessary to make the roof completely wind- and watertight again.
During the work, the existing ridge tiles were carefully removed and disposed of. The photos clearly show that the old materials were heavily weathered and locally overgrown with moss and lichens. After dismantling, the ridge structure was inspected and, where necessary, prepared for a new, durable reconstruction.
Sustainable materials and a waterproof finish
Following the preparatory work, a new dry ridge construction was installed. This utilized a high-quality universal ridge roll that ensures optimal ventilation under the ridge while keeping rainwater, snow, and dirt out. Subsequently, the new ridge tiles were neatly aligned and securely fastened, making the entire ridge resistant to various weather conditions once again.
The photos clearly show how the new ridge connects to the existing roof tiles. Much attention has also been paid to a neat and durable finish around the chimney and ventilation ducts. Thanks to this renovation, the roof structure remains well-ventilated and the risk of moisture problems is significantly reduced.
Careful execution with attention to detail
During the renovation, professional equipment was used, including a roof lift for the safe removal of the old ridge materials and the delivery of new components. This allowed the work to be carried out efficiently without placing unnecessary strain on the roof.
The solar panels on the roof were retained during the work and did not pose an obstacle to the renewal of the ridge structure. By working precisely, the new ridge has been beautifully integrated between the existing roof planes, giving the entire structure a neat and uniform appearance once again.
With this ridge renovation in Nijkerk, the home once again features a sturdy, well-ventilated, and sustainably finished ridge structure. The renewed finish significantly extends the lifespan of the roof and ensures that the home is protected against the elements for many years to come.
