Zinc work & gutters à Brussels
Hanging gutters, box gutters, downpipes, valleys and flashings in zinc or aluminium. In the City of Brussels half the work is done before anyone goes up onto the roof.
10 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
This is the most requested job in Brussels, and the most underestimated. The box gutter runs from party wall to party wall, behind a cornice that is sometimes protected, on a deck nobody has ever seen. We strip the first course of the covering to expose the whole box: doing half a job on a box gutter makes no sense.
The City of Brussels runs from the Pentagon to Laeken and Neder-Over-Heembeek: medieval plots with very narrow, very tall houses, 19th-century town houses with concealed box gutters, and further out post-war blocks with flat roofs. On a single job you come across everything — except room to work.
What we get called out for in Brussels
In the City of Brussels half the work is done before anyone goes up onto the roof. Access, permits, occupation of the pavement, the managing agent’s approval: that route sets the schedule. Technically it is most often box gutters, upstands against the neighbouring facade and extension flat roofs — rarely a complete slope.
Brussels porte le code postal 1000 et se situe in the Brussels-Capital Region. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 10 km : nous y planifions la zinguerie en même temps que les chantiers de Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Schaerbeek et Ixelles, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Pour un devis, la visite à Brussels se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 10 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Molenbeek-Saint-Jean ou Schaerbeek, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; la zinguerie n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Yes, and we recommend it every autumn for houses surrounded by trees. While we are up there we check the brackets, the outlets and the flashings — it is the cheapest moment to find a problem.
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.
