Wateringen has been the home office of DG Dakwerken since 2026 — Ambachtsweg 46 sits on the industrial estate at the south side of the village. For a roofer this is an exceptional base: within ten minutes you are in The Hague, Delft, Rijswijk, Naaldwijk or Honselersdijk, and the entire Westland triangle (Naaldwijk, Monster, 's-Gravenzande) is on cycle distance. The village itself has a mixed roof landscape. Around the Reformed Church on the Dorpskade stand older Westland homes with classic clay tiles and lead and zinc work. The districts Erasmushove, Burgemeesterswijk and Polderwijk are post-war and 1980s with terraced houses and extensions — typical maintenance moment after 25-30 years for zinc and bitumen. In Wateringseveld (bordering The Hague-south) modern new-build with PIR insulation dominates, where gutter joints only need attention after 15-20 years. Plus: in the area surrounding the village stand dozens of older Westland farmhouses and greenhouse complexes with agricultural bitumen roofs and complex gutter connections.
01 — Character
How do we work in Wateringen?
Our home base — Westland village between greenhouses, historic core and the edge of The Hague.
02 — Local context
Which roofs are common in Wateringen?
As the largest village in the municipality of Westland, Wateringen has a remarkably varied roof landscape reflecting the dual nature of the village: on one hand the classic Westland farming village around the Reformed Church and the Dorpskade, on the other the newer residential and commercial developments around the edges. The older homes around the Heeren Lambrechtweg and the Hoofdstraat feature characteristic tiled roofs with red Westland clay tiles, narrow dormers, and zinc gutters that — due to their proximity to greenhouses and the open polder wind — require a slightly faster maintenance cycle than urban roofs. In Erasmushove and Polderwijk stand 1970s and 1980s terraced homes with a mix of tiled roofs on the main structure and bitumen roofs on the extensions — the latter are now often 35-45 years old and due for structural replacement.
Our team literally departs from Wateringen — Ambachtsweg 46 is 2 minutes from the centre and 5 minutes from virtually every neighbourhood. For a roofer in Wateringen this means: shortest travel times in the region, no lost hour in traffic, and direct local knowledge. We know which lots on Hoge Bomen catch extra wind, which roofs in the Polderwijk suffer condensation from greenhouse proximity, and which commercial roofs on the Ambachtsweg-Zuiderzee industrial estate we have already renewed in recent years. Typical jobs in Wateringen: replacing a 30-year-old bitumen roof on an extension in the Burgemeesterswijk including 100mm PIR insulation, repairing lead flashing around a chimney on the Dorpskade, or complete zinc renovation on a Westland farmhouse along the N211 road. Materials used in Wateringen: Luijtgaarde or Creaton clay tiles for classic roofs, NedZink for gutters and zinc details (we are a Zinkunie partner), APP/SBS bitumen (Iko, Esha) for flat roofs, PIR insulation meeting BENG requirements.
Wateringen sits on the boundary between the horticultural Westland and the Hague agglomeration — a unique position for anyone considering roofing work. The Westland component means: agricultural roof stock with large surfaces, a greenhouse environment that creates microclimate effects (higher humidity at night), and older farmhouse roofs with complex geometry. The Hague component (Wateringseveld borders directly on The Hague-south) brings modern new-build, residents' associations, and the typical roof questions of a growing city. For residents of Wateringen we are not yet another roofer from another town . We live and work here. For a quote, roof inspection or emergency repair we are literally on the corner.

How fast do we deliver roof repair in Wateringen?
Leak, storm damage or a creeping problem? First a proper diagnosis, then a durable fix.
Roof repair & leaks
Roof repair in Wateringen is literally home turf for us. The most common causes of roof leaks in Wateringen: displaced or cracked clay tiles after westerly storms rolling across the open polders, aged lead flashings around chimneys in the older village core, cracks in bitumen from UV degradation on flat extensions older than 25 years, and gutters blocked by leaf-fall from the old trees along the Dorpskade. From our Ambachtsweg office we are typically on-site within 15-30 minutes after an emergency call. Our approach: thorough diagnosis first, then a clear fixed-price quote, no surprises afterwards. For agricultural roofs (greenhouses, sheds, commercial buildings) along the N211 and the Zuidweg we often combine multiple properties in one project schedule for sharper m² pricing.

Clear answers to the questions we hear most, no fine print.
01Is DG Dakwerken based in Wateringen itself?
Yes — our office is at Ambachtsweg 46 in Wateringen, on the industrial estate at the south side of the village. Quincy and Marvin de Groen also live in the Westland region. For Wateringen residents this means the shortest possible travel time in the region: typically 15-30 minutes from call to on-site, including emergencies.
02How quickly can you get to a roof leak in Wateringen?
For emergencies within Wateringen village we are typically on-site within 15-25 minutes — Ambachtsweg 46 is centrally located. For larger distances within Westland (Naaldwijk, Honselersdijk, Monster) we estimate 15-30 minutes. We are reachable by phone during business hours on +31 6 18 53 02 78 (Mon–Fri 8:00–17:00) and via WhatsApp outside hours — emergency response within 3 hours, including weekends and public holidays. No call-out fee.
03Do you also work on agricultural roofs (greenhouses, sheds) in Wateringen?
Yes, agricultural roofs in Westland are an important part of our work. For greenhouse roofs we do not work on the glass itself but on the associated lead flashings, zinc gutters, roof edges and the bitumen roofs of cooling and sorting halls. For sheds and commercial buildings along the N211, the Zuidweg and the Ambachtsweg industrial estate we carry out roof renewals with APP/SBS bitumen (Iko, Esha) in a VCA-safe manner.
04What guarantee do you give on roofing work in Wateringen?
We give a 10-year guarantee on completed work (full roof renewal or renovation) — repair work is not covered because the underlying state of existing roofing is often unknown. On top of that come the manufacturers' guarantees: Iko and Esha bitumen up to 15 years, NedZink and VMZINC at least 25 years, Luijtgaarde and Creaton clay tiles 30+ years. Written confirmation at handover.
05Which materials do you use most in Wateringen?
In Wateringen we work with the full material mix. Luijtgaarde or Creaton clay tiles for classic tiled roofs in the village core. NedZink or VMZINC for gutters and zinc details (we are a Zinkunie partner). APP/SBS bitumen from Iko or Esha for flat roofs on homes and commercial buildings. EPDM for smaller flat surfaces (dormers, extensions). PIR insulation meeting BENG 2026 for new roofs and roof renewals.
