RooferVoorburg
Voorburg has a building heritage that is almost unrivalled in the region. Around the Hofwijck estate and the Old Church stand monumental buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries; along Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indie and Parkweg, stately 1930s villas dominate with classic tiled roofs, original dormers and zinc valley gutters that last decades when properly maintained. The biggest challenge here: hidden rust damage to zinc and lead from years of neglect, and tiled roofs with rotten under-batten supports. DG Dakwerken enjoys working in Voorburg in close consultation with the owner — patient discussion, precise soldering, original detailing wherever possible. For municipal listed buildings we align material choices with the heritage guidelines. As a family business with VCA certification, you are in good hands with us.
01 — Character
How do we work in Voorburg?
Historic villa town — Hofwijck, Old Church, monumental 1930s houses.
02 — Local context
Which roofs are common in Voorburg?
Voorburg is a town that wears its building history visibly. Around the Hofwijck estate — the 17th-century summer residence of Constantijn Huygens — monumental buildings have tiled roofs that have lasted centuries when properly maintained. Along Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indie and Parkweg, row upon row of imposing 1930s villas feature classic hip roofs, zinc valley gutters, multiple chimneys and dormers. In Voorburg-West and Boswijk the scale is more modest: terraced and semi-detached houses with more standard tiled roofs, but here too zinc gutters and lead flashings are ageing. The historic centre around the Herenstraat has buildings on narrow plots where scaffolding requires extra planning — the streets are narrow and gardens enclosed.
DG Dakwerken enjoys tackling the more complex commissions in Voorburg: bespoke zinc valley gutters for the large villas along the Parkweg, repair of aged lead work around mansard roofs, and tile repair on monumental buildings where we match the original tile colour and format as closely as possible. For municipal listed buildings we align every material choice with the aesthetic guidelines of the municipality of Leidschendam-Voorburg. This demands more consultation and sometimes more searching for the right material, but the end result fits the building and the neighbourhood. Roofer in Voorburg or zinc work in Voorburg . We are the right party. From our Wateringen office we drive there in ten minutes, so emergency jobs and inspections are easy to schedule.
Voorburg borders the green zones along the Vliet riverbanks and the Vlietland recreation area — the poplars and willows along the Vliet cause massive leaf fall in autumn, blocking gutters and backing water up on flat roofs. Regular gutter inspection in Voorburg is therefore not a luxury but a practical necessity. In the In de Bogaard district larger residential blocks with flat roofs under residents'-association management are common; here too we work regularly with multi-year maintenance plans. The combination of historic character along the Vlietkade and modern energy requirements for homeowners makes Voorburg a varied municipality: we are at home at every scale, from small tile repairs to complete roof renewals.
