Looking for a contractor in Hoorn who knows the town? Bouwbedrijf R. Vlieland is based at Paardenweide 39 in Zwaag, which is itself part of the municipality of Hoorn. The centre is about ten minutes away by car. We work in the historic town centre, in the neighbourhoods built after the war and in the newer housing on the north side of town. From a rear extension to the repair of an old building.

Hoorn calls for a contractor who can adapt. The old town has many listed buildings, where every detail matters. In neighbourhoods such as Grote Waal and Kersenboogerd the question is more often about extra space and better insulation. Whatever you need, you have one dedicated project manager with us, from the first conversation to completion. If you wish, we also take care of the drawings and the permit.

Renovating in the historic centre of Hoorn

The centre of Hoorn grew up around the harbour and has many buildings from the days of the Dutch East India Company and later. A large share of them are national or municipal monuments. Extra rules apply there: many changes need an environmental permit (omgevingsvergunning), sometimes even work inside. Read about renovating a listed building before you start.

We work in such buildings with respect for the original craftsmanship. Think of repairing timber frames, replacing rotten wood in the same profile and carefully adjusting a layout.

  • Frames repaired or remade in the original profile
  • Wood rot removed and repaired with care
  • Permit application handled by us if you wish
  • Work in narrow streets planned well in advance

Post-war neighbourhoods: Grote Waal, Risdam and Kersenboogerd

A large part of Hoorn was built from the 1970s onwards, when the town grew rapidly. Neighbourhoods such as Grote Waal, Risdam and Kersenboogerd have many terraced and semi-detached houses with a garden at the back. There, an extension is often the logical step towards a larger living room or a kitchen-diner.

Homes from that period are often poorly insulated by today's standards. A renovation is a good moment to deal with that, with new frames and insulating glass or an insulated roof.

New housing in Bangert and Oosterpolder

On the north side of Hoorn, right next to Zwaag, lies Bangert and Oosterpolder, largely built from the turn of the century. These homes are younger and better insulated. Here the question is usually about extending: a roof extension for an extra bedroom, a veranda or a roof terrace. Read extension or roof extension to see what suits your home.

Je merkt dat hij zijn werk met zorg uitvoert. Al bij het opnemen van het werk dacht hij mee en kwam hij met goed advies. Het resultaat is echt mooi geworden en we zijn er dan ook heel blij mee. Zeker een aanrader!"

"Waar Richard een aantal jaar geleden onze zolder naar twee volwaardige kamers heeft omgebouwd, waren we heel blij dat hij ons ook heeft kunnen helpen met een garage aanbouw. Niet voor niets dat we hem al twee keer hebben benaderd. Richard is een vakman, denkt mee in de mogelijkheden en de communicatie is top."

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about building in Hoorn

Do you work as a contractor throughout Hoorn?

Yes. We work in the old town, in the neighbourhoods around the centre and in Bangert and Oosterpolder. Villages such as Blokker, Berkhout and Avenhorn are also part of our area.

Do I need a permit for an extension in Hoorn?

That depends on the location, the size and the local zoning plan. An extension in the rear garden is more often permit-free than one at the front. Since 1 January 2024 the Environment and Planning Act applies, so check via the Omgevingsloket or with the municipality of Hoorn. For a listed building, most changes require a permit.

Can you repair timber frames in an old building?

Yes. In old buildings repair is often better than full replacement. We replace the affected wood and make the frame sound and weathertight again. If the frame is beyond saving, we make a new one in the same profile. Also read about wood rot in frames.

How quickly can you visit me in Hoorn?

Hoorn is about ten minutes from our address in Zwaag. A first appointment to discuss your wishes can therefore usually be arranged quickly. Call or WhatsApp us on 06 11 78 63 20.
