Maintenance and restoration

Anyone who, like us, carries out home maintenance and restoration house after house knows that acting early prevents major damage. A little wood rot in the corner of a frame or a loose fascia board is a small repair now, but can become a big job in a few years. Bouwbedrijf R. Vlieland carries out maintenance, repairs and restoration, including smaller jobs. Then too, you have one dedicated contact person.

Restoration is about more than repairing. We try to preserve original details and, where necessary, replace them in the same shape and the same material. That way your home keeps its character. What is involved with a protected building is explained in renovating a listed building.

What we take care of

  • Inspection of facade, roof and frames
  • Wood rot repair and replacing parts
  • Fascia boards, gutters and cornices
  • Restoration in the original style
  • Repairs and smaller carpentry jobs

Also for repairs and smaller jobs

Not every job is a full renovation. A door that sticks, a leaking gutter or a rotten sill deserves an expert approach just as much. For a repair like that, we also prepare a quote and send someone who knows what he is doing. ABP van Doesburg wrote in a Google review that the quote was prepared quickly and the repair was carried out expertly.

  • A frame or door that sticks or leaks
  • Wood rot in a sill or frame corner
  • A loose fascia board or cornice
  • A leak around a roof window or gutter

Home maintenance and restoration: where do you start?

Start with a walk around the house. Look at the frames, the paintwork, the pointing, the gutters and the roof edge. Small cracks in paint and sealant are often where water gets in. Ideally do this in spring and after autumn.

If you are unsure about what you see, we will come and take a look. We will tell you honestly what is needed now and what can wait a few years. That way you spread the costs and prevent small defects from growing into major damage.

Wood rot and fascia boards

Wood rot is one of the most common maintenance problems. If the damage is limited, the rotten part can be routed out and repaired, or only the affected jamb or sill is replaced. Read more in wood rot in window frames.

Fascia boards protect the roof edge and take a lot of punishment. In the project frame and fascia boards renewed they were included in one go. What replacement roughly costs is explained in fascia board replacement costs.

Restoration with the original as the starting point

West-Friesland has many characteristic buildings, from traditional stolp farmhouses to old buildings in the historic town centres of Hoorn and Enkhuizen. With restoration, we first look at what can be saved of the original. Whatever has to be replaced, we reproduce in the same shape, size and type of material.

For a national or municipal listed building, many interventions require an environmental permit (omgevingsvergunning), including work that would be permit-free on an ordinary home. So consult the municipality before work begins.

Combining maintenance with making your home sustainable

If scaffolding is up anyway, it is a good moment to insulate the roof or facade as well, or to fit new insulating glass. That way you only pay once for scaffolding and preparation. Read more in sustainable renovation and insulation.

Zeker een aanrader!"

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about maintenance and restoration.

Do you also do small repairs?

Yes. Alongside large projects we also do repairs and smaller jobs, such as repairing a frame or replacing a fascia board. Then too, you get a quick quote and expert workmanship.

What is the difference between maintenance, renovation and restoration?

Maintenance keeps the home in good condition. A renovation renews parts of the home to today's standards. Restoration, by contrast, repairs the original, with respect for shape and material.

How often does my home need maintenance?

An annual check of the facade, roof and frames is sensible. Exterior paintwork is usually due every few years, depending on the location and the type of paint. Repairing small defects straight away saves a lot.

Can wood rot be repaired without replacing the whole frame?

Often, yes. With limited damage, the rotten wood is removed and filled, or only the affected part is replaced. If the rot runs deep into several parts, a new frame is often the wiser choice.

Do you also work on listed buildings?

We also work on older and listed homes. For a listed building, many jobs require a permit and there are requirements for materials and workmanship. We agree these in advance with you and the municipality.

How quickly can you come and take a look?

Get in touch by phone, WhatsApp or email. We schedule a visit as soon as our planning allows. With a leak or acute damage, we always look for a quick solution.
