Front and rear access are different jobs.
In the Jordaan and along the Prinsengracht, the front and rear of the same property can have very different access. A flat rear roof may sit behind several floors of accommodation. Mention the floor level and whether the route runs through an apartment or communal staircase. A safe overview photograph is often more useful than a close-up of the defect alone.
Tell us about your situation ↗Establish the building’s status early.
Properties in Centrum do not all have the same heritage status. For a listed building or protected townscape, address-specific rules may influence changes to visible roof details. Supply any known information about the property and previous roof work. The appropriate finish and scope need to be agreed before a material is ordered.
Shared roofs need clear authorisation.
For an apartment building, identify the contact for the owners’ association (VvE) and any decisions already made. Reporting a leak is not the same as authorising a complete roof renewal. Street space, access and timing are assessed per address. There is no fixed arrival time for Centrum; visits are arranged after the enquiry is reviewed.
