Roofer in Forest
Forest is built on a slope, and it shows on the roofs: tall houses from the 1920s and 1930s, a lot of Art Deco around the Altitude Cent, and a low, industrial part down towards the canal. The differences in level make scaffold access the first question on every job.

The surroundings
Brussels terraced house: permits, managing agent and access
The Brussels building stock is tall, narrow and old, and it is almost always jointly owned or terraced. So the technical side is only half the work: the other half is access, the permit and the approval. On the building itself the concealed box gutter and the junction against the neighbouring facade give first — the slope, rarely.

In Brussels the first obstacle in an emergency is access: no room for a vehicle, a courtyard that can only be reached through the building, sometimes a managing agent to get hold of. We come out to assess, sheet over and make safe; the permanent repair follows as soon as the paperwork is in order.
In the Brussels-Capital Region the rules are its own: a planning permit as soon as the appearance of the roof changes, a separate authorisation to occupy the public road, and in a protected area the opinion of the heritage department. We tell you which route you are on before the quotation.
