What that changes here
Redoing a complete slope in Brussels is first of all a paperwork job: a planning permit as soon as the appearance changes, a road occupation permit for the scaffold, and in a jointly owned block a vote at the general meeting. On the roof itself the slopes are narrow and steep, and the junction against the neighbouring facade counts for more than the open field of the roof.
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 la rénovation 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 ; la rénovation de toiture n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
In Flanders, replacing a roof covering like for like often needs only a notification, sometimes nothing at all. As soon as the appearance changes — material, colour, adding a roof window — a planning permit is required. In Brussels the rules are different. We tell you which case you are in before the quotation.
Clay or concrete tiles are the norm in Flemish Brabant: quicker to lay, lower cost, good resistance to our climate. Natural slate lasts sixty to a hundred years and is often required in a protected area or under an estate’s building rules. The municipal planning regulations frequently decide for you — we check them before pricing the job.
