Cleaning & moss removal à Ixelles
Moss removal by hand, brushing, anti-moss treatment and low-pressure rinsing. In Ixelles we are mainly called for two things: the zinc work on the old grand town houses — dormers, valleys, domes, junctions against the neighbouring facade — and the flat roofs of post-war blocks, where it is the managing agent who decides and the paperwork takes longer than the job.

What that changes here
In town, cleaning is as much about the neighbours as about the roof. Water and dirt travel over the party wall, and the rinsing ends up on a pavement or a terrace. We protect the surroundings, work in calm weather and empty the gutters before the end of the job — otherwise all the loosened moss ends up in the downpipe.
Around the ponds and in the Louise district is the most carefully built stock in the city: grand town houses from the late 19th century, Art Nouveau, natural slate, zinc dormers and a great deal of detail work. Further out, the 1960s apartment blocks and their flat roofs dominate. Two worlds, two techniques.

Pour un devis, la visite à Ixelles 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 Brussels ou Uccle, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; le démoussage n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
On porous concrete tiles or aged fibre cement slates, a water-repellent treatment has a real effect and clearly slows the return of moss. On natural slate it is almost pointless: the stone absorbs practically no water. We tell you that on site rather than selling it on principle.
Every four to six years for an open roof, every two to three years if it is shaded by trees or faces north. Under broadleaf trees, the build-up of leaves counts as much as the moss: it is the leaves that block the valleys and send water under the covering.
