Moisture and facades in Dwingeloo: what we encounter here
Dwingeloo is a heathland village with many old farmhouses. In the hamlet of Westeinde, they even form a protected village landscape, featuring farmhouses of the New Drenthe type, thatched and tiled roofs, and masonry that is often more than a hundred years old. Such facades are soft and absorbent. A dense coating or silicone layer traps moisture, resulting in crumbling bricks and loose joints. For this type of building, we use exclusively vapor-permeable materials.
In addition, many homes in and around the village are situated among tall trees or on the edge of forests and heathland. A shaded facade dries slowly after a rain shower, and it is precisely there that green deposits and algae thrive. After cleaning, impregnation ensures that rain beads off and the facade dries faster.
Subsidy for facade maintenance in Dwingeloo
Impregnation is maintenance and therefore does not qualify for an insulation subsidy. Dwingeloo falls under the municipality of Westerveld, which has a scheme via SNN for owner-occupiers with a combined income of up to €40,000 per year. Through this scheme, you can receive a reimbursement of up to €2,500 for, among other things, cavity wall or facade insulation. The budget is limited, so those who qualify would do well not to wait too long. During the inspection, we will honestly tell you which part of the work is covered by the scheme.
What we do in Dwingeloo
In Dwingeloo, we always start with an on-site inspection. We look at the age and type of stone, the condition of the joints, and whether the facade has been treated before. For a monumental building or a farmhouse in a protected village landscape, we tailor the approach with extra care. Often, a gentle initial assessment is required. facade cleaning needed to remove algae and deposits. You can read how the impregnation itself works on the page impregnate facade.
How much does facade impregnation cost in Dwingeloo?
Facade impregnation in Dwingeloo costs an average of €8 per m², excluding VAT. For a farmhouse with a long side wall or a home with a large facade surface area, the number of m² quickly adds up, so we always take measurements on site. The product only works on a clean and dry facade. We therefore clean facades with green deposits first, for €5 per m². After the free inspection, you will know exactly what to expect.
This is how we handle impregnation in Dwingeloo
Impregnating old masonry requires precision. The agent must penetrate deep enough without sealing the stone. That is why we work according to three fixed steps in Dwingeloo.
Inspection and assessment
We start with a thorough inspection of your facade. Is the surface clean enough? Are the joints still intact? Impregnating a dirty or damaged facade is of little use. Sometimes we recommend facade cleaning or joint repair first.
1
Clean (if necessary)
If there is still algae, moss, or dirt on the masonry, we first thoroughly clean the facade. After cleaning, we allow the facade to dry. This usually takes two to five days, depending on the weather.
2
Impregnate with hydrophobizing liquid
We apply the impregnating agent using low pressure. The agent penetrates a few millimeters deep into the brick. The facade becomes water-repellent without creating a visible layer. You can see the result immediately after treatment: water droplets bead off instead of soaking in.
3
Professional impregnation with guarantee
Professional impregnating agents
We work exclusively with professional hydrophobizing agents that penetrate deeper than consumer products from the hardware store. That makes a difference in lifespan.
Clear explanation and communication
After the treatment, you will receive a clear explanation of what we have done and how long the protection will last. Clear communication, from inspection to delivery. That is how we work.

Frequently asked questions about impregnation in Dwingeloo
In many cases, yes, provided a vapor-permeable agent is used that does not alter the color or appearance of the stone. If it concerns a monument or if the appearance of the building is altered, please check with the Municipality of Westerveld whether a permit is required. We will provide you with all information about the agent we use.
Let's be fair: in the shade, deposits always return over time. After cleaning and impregnation, rain beads off and the facade dries faster, giving algae much less of a chance. Pruning trees or creating space around the facade also helps.
This is not always visible from the outside. A simple test is to splash water against the stone: if it beads off, there is still a treatment on it. If it soaks in immediately, the treatment has worn off or was never applied. During the inspection, we test this in multiple places, because facades are sometimes only partially treated.
