Roof insulation à Forest
Insulation of pitched roofs and lofts, from the inside or as sarking. In Forest every quotation starts with access.
14 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
The Brussels loft is narrow, tall and awkward to get to; everything goes up by hand through the stairwell. In a subdivided building there is also the question of who pays for what. Technically we watch above all the airtightness around the dormer and the junction against the party wall: those are the two places where damp comes back.
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.
What we get called out for in Forest
In Forest every quotation starts with access. On the slope of the Altitude Cent the houses are tall and the front gardens narrow; putting up a scaffold there needs a road occupation permit and sometimes a parking ban. After that comes the ordinary work: box gutters, slates and 1930s dormers.
Forest porte le code postal 1190 et se situe in the Brussels-Capital Region. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 14 km : nous y planifions l’isolation de toiture en même temps que les chantiers de Uccle, Anderlecht et Ixelles, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Pour un devis, la visite à Forest se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 14 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Uccle ou Anderlecht, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; l’isolation de toiture n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
The Flemish and Brussels grants change every year and depend on your situation, the dwelling and the contractor. We supply the invoices and technical data sheets required; the application is made to the relevant body. We do not quote amounts that will no longer be valid in six months.
For a pitched roof, aim for 18 to 24 cm of mineral wool or PIR depending on the material, to meet the requirements in force. In an existing roof structure the space between rafters is limited: you then add a second layer under the rafters, crossing the joints.
