What that changes here
Houses under trees hold damp, the favourite ground of rot fungi — faster and more destructive than insects. So we put the ventilation right at the same time as the timber.
Dilbeek is a green municipality on the periphery, with a great many detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s, often surrounded by trees. Leaves in the gutters and moss on the north slope are the rule rather than the exception: annual maintenance costs less here than a repair elsewhere.
What we get called out for in Dilbeek
Dilbeek is maintenance territory par excellence. Most calls come in after an autumn storm or after a winter when the gutters have blocked up: leaves, moss, a branch that has broken a tile. Anyone who has the roof checked once a year rarely gets as far as major work — and we say so.
Dilbeek porte le code postal 1700 et se situe in the western periphery of Brussels. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 12 km : nous y planifions la charpente en même temps que les chantiers de Anderlecht, Molenbeek-Saint-Jean et Jette, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Dilbeek 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 Anderlecht ou Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; la charpente n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
A curative treatment carried out properly protects for about ten years. But the real protection is ventilation: a dry, ventilated loft interests neither insects nor fungi. So we put the ventilation right at the same time as the timber.
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.
