Delft is a city where craftsmanship matters. In the city centre — along the Oude Delft, Koornmarkt and Wijnhaven — monumental Golden Age buildings stand with tiled roofs, lead flashings around tall chimneys, and zinc valley gutters demanding careful repair. At the same time, Delft has thousands of student homes and commercial buildings near the TU Delft campus in Wippolder and Schieweg-Noord, with flat bitumen roofs of varying quality. DG Dakwerken works in both worlds: monumental roof renovation and chimney repair in the historic centre — always in consultation with Delft's heritage department — and VCA-certified flat-roof replacement for commercial buildings near the university.

Historic city — canals, Old Church, monumental centre.
Which roofs are common in Delft?
Delft is a city where the past literally hangs above your head. In the city centre — along the Oude Delft, Koornmarkt, Voldersgracht and Wijnhaven — Golden Age buildings feature tiled roofs 350 years old, lead flashings around tall chimneys and zinc valley gutters that serve for years with proper craftsmanship. The narrow streets of the historic centre make scaffolding and material logistics a discipline of their own: low clearances, skip containers that fit nowhere, and canal banks that form the only access route. Beyond the singels the picture changes: Wippolder and Vrijenban have student apartment blocks and TU Delft campus commercial buildings with flat roofs of varying age and quality.
DG Dakwerken works in Delft in two registers. In the historic city centre we carry out monumental roof repair and chimney restoration — always in consultation with Delft's heritage department for buildings with municipal or national listed status, and always with original clay tiles (Creaton, Nelskamp) or equivalent materials. In the outer districts — Voordijkshoorn, Tanthof, Hof van Delft — it is the 1970s and 80s terraced houses with flat extensions that need maintenance. On TU campus buildings we work VCA-certified. Roofer in Delft, chimney in Delft, heritage roof in Delft: honest craftsmanship with a fixed quote within 24 hours.
Beyond the historic centre, Delft has districts like Bomenwijk and Voordijkshoorn that attract less attention but where roofing is no less urgent: 1960s and 70s terraced houses with flat bitumen extensions, zinc gutters that need replacing, and chimneys whose mortar joints are loosening from damp penetration. TU Delft itself has a significant number of large roof surfaces on laboratories and lecture buildings along the Mekelweg and Stevinweg. DG Dakwerken is the right partner for all these questions — as a VCA-certified family business, Zinkunie partner, with a 10-year guarantee on completed work on every project. Honest, personal, sharply priced.
