Frequently asked questions about bitumen roofing
Curious about what bitumen roofing entails or what you can expect? Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions in detail.
A bitumen roof lasts an average of 20 to 30 years, provided it's installed correctly and maintained regularly. The lifespan depends heavily on the quality of the material used (APP or SBS), the weather conditions the roof is exposed to, and the frequency of maintenance. At Botekt Roof Maintenance, we recommend having your roof inspected at least annually to ensure that minor damage is detected and repaired promptly. This way, you'll get the most out of your bitumen roofing.
APP (Atactic Polypropylene) and SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) are both types of modified bitumen, but they differ in properties and applications.
APP bitumen It is highly resistant to UV radiation and is often used on roofs exposed to direct sunlight. The material retains its elasticity over time and is suitable for use with a gas torch.
SBS bitumen It is more elastic and more resistant to temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for roofs that regularly expand and contract, for example, due to extreme seasonal changes. Botekt Roof Maintenance assesses the most suitable type for each roof, depending on its location, use, and climate.
Although bitumen is a petroleum product, it's surprisingly sustainable. Bitumen roofing is long-lasting, recyclable, and can often be reused as an underlayment for a new roof structure. Moreover, there's increasing attention to environmentally friendly production processes, and old bitumen is often incorporated into new roofing membranes or other building materials. At Botekt Roof Maintenance, we always ensure responsible disposal and processing of old materials, with due regard for sustainability and environmental legislation.
Yes, in many cases it's possible to apply a new layer of bitumen over the existing roof covering. We call this an "overlay." The advantage is that no demolition work is required, which saves costs and waste. However, it's important that the underlying roof structure is still in good condition and free of moisture problems or weak spots. At Botekt Roof Maintenance, we always first conduct a thorough roof inspection to determine whether an overlay is technically sound. If not, we recommend a complete roof replacement.
The cost of a bitumen roof depends on several factors, such as the roof's surface area, the condition of the current roof covering, the type of bitumen (APP or SBS), the roof's accessibility, and any additional requirements such as insulation or roof trim. On average, prices range between €45 and €75 per m² for a complete roof covering, including labor.

Excellent service. This is the second time Kevin has installed bitumen on our roof, including a roof penetration and roof trim. He definitely delivers on his craftsmanship. He responds very quickly, schedules appointments immediately, and offers excellent value for money. He even applies a temporary layer of paint while on vacation and finishes the job the following week, even though Almere-Alkmaar isn't exactly close to either side. Very reliable, and as a woman in the construction industry, I would recommend this company to anyone.
