Zinc work & gutters à Asse
Hanging gutters, box gutters, downpipes, valleys and flashings in zinc or aluminium. In Asse and its villages two subjects stand out: the wind and the corrugated sheets.

What that changes here
Large farm and barn roofs send enormous volumes to very few discharge points. We recalculate the cross-sections on the area actually served and provide a visible overflow: if it runs, you know the main downpipe is blocked.
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 zinguerie en même temps que les chantiers de Dilbeek, Jette et Meise, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

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 zinguerie n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Zinc is still the benchmark: forty to fifty years, solderable, repairable, and it takes a patina. Coated aluminium costs less, goes up faster and comes in every colour, but its joints are glued or riveted, so they are weaker over time. Galvanised steel we advise against wherever there is road salt or urban air.
In most cases it is undersized, or it serves too much area for a single downpipe. A good Belgian downpour delivers more water than a standard gutter can carry away. The fix is rarely to replace everything: an extra downpipe and resized outlets are usually enough.
