What exactly is roof maintenance?
Roof maintenance is everything you do to keep a roof in good condition before anything breaks. The difference from roof repair is simple: with maintenance, we work on a roof that is still functioning; with repair, we work on a roof that is already causing a problem.
Proper maintenance does not mean that major work is required every year. In most situations in Hilversum, it comes down to a few hours of work per year or every two years: cleaning gutters, removing moss, inspecting lead and zinc, and touching up jointing where necessary. Postponing maintenance is almost always more expensive than carrying it out, because virtually every major roof damage starts small.
When is roof maintenance needed?
In Hilversum, you can usually tell by small signs that it is time for maintenance:
- Moss and algae growth on the tiles, especially on the north side of the roof.
- Gutters that no longer drain properly, water that runs over the edge during heavy rain.
- Loose or cracked ridge tiles, sometimes visible from the street after a gust of wind.
- Scale or moss on the lead by the chimney or dormer.
- The house is older than 25 years and it has been more than two years since someone stood on the roof.
For the 1930s villas in the Brediuskwartier, De Spiegel, or around the Vaartweg, we recommend annual roof maintenance. For post-war terraced houses in Hilversum-Noord and Kerkelanden, an inspection every two years is usually sufficient.
What do we do during roof maintenance?
Our standard maintenance service consists of:
- Full inspection of tiles, lead, zinc, pointing and roof penetrations.
- Cleaning of gutters and rainwater drains, including the pumping away of leaves and moss.
- Removing moss on the roof tiles where necessary, using a method that leaves the tile surface intact.
- Touching up jointing around chimneys and facade connections, minor repairs carried out immediately.
- Securing loose ridge tiles and repairing any minor cracks with suitable cement or mortar.
- Inspection of the lead and zinc work on hairline cracks or material fatigue.
- Written report with photos afterwards, with advice for the next 12 to 24 months.
We discuss anything that requires extra work (for example, a new lead flashing or the replacement of a gutter section) in advance, not afterwards. No additional work without your agreement.

We work transparently and prevent surprises afterwards. Through regular and proper maintenance, your roof remains in optimal condition and problems are addressed early.
Who do we work for?
We work for private individuals, homeowners' associations, businesses, schools, healthcare institutions, and property managers in Hilversum and the immediate surroundings. For larger buildings or complex roofs, we send a work description in advance for you to sign off on before work begins.
We do the work ourselves, with a fixed team. No subcontractors and no rotating temporary workers. That is deliberate: anyone who saw the roof last year sees the differences this year and knows what needs attention.
Frequently asked questions about roof maintenance
For an average terraced house or small detached home, a one-off maintenance service usually costs between a few hundred and a thousand euros, depending on the roof surface area, accessibility, and the amount of moss and grime. A maintenance contract is generally cheaper per visit due to the advance planning.
For most homes in Hilversum, every 1 to 2 years. More frequently for an older roof, many overhanging trees, or a location exposed to heavy driving rain.
Yes. We remove moss manually or with low pressure, never with high pressure because that damages the tiles and actually accelerates moss growth by making the surface rougher.
Yes. Since we are on the roof anyway, it is often cost-effective to include minor repairs at the same time. We always include a separate line for this in the quote so you can see exactly where the costs are allocated.
Yes. For Owners' Associations, we offer fixed-price contracts, annual reporting, and a direct contact person. Board members can reach us directly without forms.

Very satisfied with Nuhovic Daken. The communication was pleasant and clear. I carried out part of the work myself and could always turn to them for sound advice with any questions. The roof looks neat. Due to the extreme heat, not everything could be completed in one go, but as soon as the weather permitted, they finished everything properly. A reliable company that delivers quality. Definitely recommended!

We urgently needed a roofer because a roof tile had unexpectedly fallen down and rain was forecast for the next day. We called in the afternoon and he was already on our doorstep the next morning. The repair was carried out quickly and skillfully, and the price was also very reasonable. It is great to find a company that can act so quickly and keeps its promises. We are very satisfied and can certainly recommend him!
