What that changes here
Farm roof structures are old, often altered and sometimes carrying more load than they were built for. We measure the actual sections and spans before any decision, especially if insulation or solar panels are being added.
Asse and its villages sit in open countryside: less shelter, more wind on the roof verges. We always reinforce the fixings at the verge and the ridge here, and we still find a lot of outbuildings and cowsheds in pre-2001 corrugated sheets.
What we get called out for in Asse
In Asse and its villages two subjects stand out: the wind and the corrugated sheets. The wind means reinforced fixings at the verge and the ridge, every time. The sheets cover cowsheds, lean-tos and garages, and the question that goes with them — asbestos or not — is usually only asked when a sale or a conversion is coming up.
Asse porte le code postal 1730 et se situe in the Pajottenland. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 12 km : nous y planifions la charpente en même temps que les chantiers de Dilbeek, Jette et Meise, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Asse se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 12 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Dilbeek ou Jette, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; la charpente n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Four signs should raise the alarm: fine sawdust at the foot of the timbers, exit holes a few millimetres across, timber that sounds hollow under a hammer, and a smell of fungus in the loft. None of them is visible from the ground — which is why we always go up.
The products we use are approved and applied according to their instructions. The dwelling must be ventilated and unoccupied during application and for a few hours afterwards, particularly where there are young children or pets. We tell you how long before we start.
