What is coming up for your home in the years ahead?
Service lives checked on 5 August 2026
A house from 1968 needs different things right now than a house from 2005. Enter your address and we will pull the build year and the type of home from the Dutch building register, then list the maintenance that usually comes up around now for a house like that. With guide prices from our own price guides, and the source for every service life.
Where is your home?
Type your address and pick it from the list. We look up the rest ourselves.
Your address goes straight to the government's open address service and is not stored by us.
Pick an address from the list and your schedule opens straight away.
Why this is not another calculator
Every other maintenance tool asks you for the details. Build year, type of home, floor area. While all of that is already in public registers.
We start with your address and look it up ourselves: the build year and floor area from the BAG register, and the footprint of your building from its registered geometry. Then we put those two things next to the common service life of the main parts of a house. That is all we know about your home, and we say so everywhere.
The parts and their common service life
These are the items we work with. Every service life has a source you can check yourself, verified on 5 August 2026. The amounts come from our price guides, so no two different figures for the same job ever appear on this site.
Exterior painting
Every 5 to 7 years
The paint on the outside protects the woodwork. Leave it too long and it stops being a paint job and becomes rot, which means a carpenter instead.

Boiler servicing
Every 1 to 2 years
Milieu Centraal advises a service once a year or once every two years. It extends the life of the boiler and cuts the odds of a breakdown on the coldest day of the year.
Replacing the boiler
Usually lasts 12 to 15 years
Milieu Centraal puts a condensing boiler at 15 years, the Dutch consumers' association at 10 to 15. We work with 12 to 15 years, so the window is not rosier than the sources allow.

Flat roof with bitumen
Usually lasts 15 to 20 years
Applies if you have a flat roof. Bitumen is the cheapest roof covering and lasts the shortest. EPDM on the same roof lasts 40 to 50 years, so if you know there is rubber up there, you can plan this later.
Tiled roof
Usually lasts 30 to 50 years
Applies if you have a pitched roof with tiles. Concrete tiles last 30 to 50 years, ceramic tiles 50 to 80. We work with concrete, because that is the shorter of the two and therefore the more cautious assumption.

Gutters and rainwater pipes
Usually lasts 30 to 50 years
A zinc gutter lasts 30 to 50 years, less if leaves keep sitting in it. A leaking gutter is rarely just a gutter problem: the water gets in somewhere else.
Repointing the facade
Usually lasts 25 to 40 years
Sand coming out of the joints, cracks, or damp patches inside are the signs. When the pointing gives up, the brickwork behind it goes with it.
Replacing window frames
Usually lasts 40 to 75 years
Well maintained, wooden frames last 40 to 75 years. Hardwood sits at the top of that range, softwood at the bottom, and badly maintained frames never get there.

Replacing insulating glass
Usually lasts 20 to 30 years
Only for homes from 1980 onwards, because before that single glazing was the norm and the glass went in later. Condensation between the panes means the seal has failed.

Fuse box and residual current device
Depends on the build period
Electrical installations in Dutch homes have had to include a residual current device since 1975. If your house is older and the fuse box has never been renewed, it may not have one.
What is deliberately missing: the drains under your home, the foundation and the cavity wall. The figures for those are so far apart that no service life can be backed up, and then it does not belong here.
What this schedule does not do
We give an indication, not an inspection. We have never seen your home, we do not know whether anything has been replaced already, and we do not know what condition it is in. Two houses from the same year on the same street can be worlds apart.
Use this to know what is coming and roughly what it costs, and have a surveyor look at it before you decide anything. They look at your house, we look at a year.
What we do with your address
Nothing. The address you type goes straight from your browser to the open PDOK address service, so what you type while still hesitating never reaches our server. We do not store addresses, in any form.
If you leave your email address at the bottom of the result for a reminder, we keep only your email address, the build year and the type of home. Not your address, because we do not need it to send you anything useful.
Frequently asked questions
How do you know what my house needs?
We do not. All we know is the build year and the type of home from the BAG register. On top of that we know the common service life of each part, and that is listed with its source on this page. Putting those two things side by side is all we do, and all we promise.
My house is from 1930. Is everything really overdue?
No, and we say so. If your house is older than the service life of a part, that part has almost certainly been replaced already, and we have no idea when. So the text reads: if this has never been done, it is the first thing to look at, and if it has been done, the date of that replacement is what counts.
Where do the amounts come from?
From our own price guides on jouwpro.nl. Every item states which line from which price guide we used, with the guide price next to it. That way you can check what is on the screen, and no amount on this site contradicts another.
Why does the roof appear twice?
Because the register does not say whether you have a flat roof or a tiled roof. We show both scenarios with their own service life and price, and the total counts only one roof. Which of the two applies to you, you know better than we do.
I live in a flat. Why is there so little in my total?
In a multi-unit building the outside work, so the roof, facade, frames and gutters, is almost always the owners' association. You pay for that through your monthly contribution, not as a separate bill. We still show those items, but we do not add them to your own amount.
Does it cost anything?
No. The schedule is free and needs no sign-up. The reminder at the bottom is free and entirely optional too: without an email address you see exactly the same thing.
