7 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
Under the Brussels mansard roofs there is an old, slender roof structure, often weakened where the box gutter has leaked for decades. So the damage is almost always on the facade side, in the wall plate and the rafter ends. We open that up before putting a price forward: from below, nothing shows.
Evere was built mainly after the war: housing estates from the 1950s and 1960s, social housing and apartment blocks with large flat roofs. The building stock is younger than elsewhere in Brussels, but the first generation of bitumen felt laid on those flat roofs is now reaching the end of its life.
What we get called out for in Evere
Evere is the flat roof municipality. We come here for bitumen felt from the 1970s and 1980s gone hard and cracked at the upstands, for outlets set too high, and for insulation that, on this first generation of flat roofs, is simply missing. Often in jointly owned blocks.
Evere porte le code postal 1140 et se situe in the Brussels-Capital Region. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 7 km : nous y planifions la charpente en même temps que les chantiers de Schaerbeek, Woluwe-Saint-Lambert et Kraainem, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Evere se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 7 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Schaerbeek ou Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, 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.
