Your roof is exposed to all kinds of weather conditions and temperatures. As a result, your roof may get damaged or develop weak spots. With proper roof maintenance, you save your roof from greater damage and yourself from high expenses. When you outsource your roof maintenance, you will want to know what the expected costs are and what the options are. In this article you will read more about roof maintenance prices and the different choices.
Roof maintenance: the costs
Maintaining your roof properly is very important to prevent leaks and major damage. What exactly is meant by roof maintenance varies from one roofing company to another, but in general, roof maintenance involves the following:
- cleaning the roof and disposing of dirt;
- roof inspection;
- cleaning and checking gutters;
- small repairs, including replacing cracked tiles.

How is the price of roof maintenance structured?
What choices determine the price of roof maintenance?
Choice 1: Coating and impregnation
In addition to regular roof maintenance, it is also an option to have your roof coated and impregnated. This will prevent algae and mosses from growing on your roof covering and damaging it. Having your roof coated costs on average between £10 and £20 per m2 and having your roof impregnated costs on average £5 per m2.
Choice 2: Location
The hourly wages of roofers depend on where the company is located. Roofing companies from the Randstad region charge a higher hourly wage than roofers from other parts of the Netherlands. So if you do not live in the Randstad area, it is often cheaper to hire a local roofing company for your roof maintenance. Below you can see the average hourly wages of roofers from the Randstad and beyond.
| Location | Average hourly wage (including VAT) |
|---|---|
| Randstad | £ 40 – £ 80 |
| Outside the Randstad | £ 30 – £ 55 |
Choice 3: Type of roof and roof covering
Depending on the type of roof and roof covering, your roof will be specially cleaned during roof maintenance. Not every roofing material is suitable for cleaning in the same way. Indeed, a special high-pressure sprayer is used on sloping roofs, but an ordinary high-pressure sprayer is often used on flat roofs.
