Flat roof waterproofing à Ixelles
Flat roofs, terraces and extensions: EPDM, bitumen felt or liquid resin. 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
Behind almost every Brussels house there is a flat-roofed extension, and behind almost every apartment block a larger area. Access is the problem: the materials go up through the stairwell or over the neighbour’s roof, which needs an agreement. We look at that access on the first visit, not on the day of delivery.
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.

Common questions
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 ; l’étanchéité de toit plat n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Yes, and it is often the best first step. We locate the source, give you a time-stamped photo report and a quotation for the repair. Nothing obliges you to give us the work afterwards.
EPDM is laid in a single piece, with no seams across the field of the roof, and lasts thirty to fifty years if it is laid properly: it is the logical choice for an extension or a terrace of normal size. Torch-on bitumen felt still makes sense on large areas and complicated decks. The deck and the actual falls decide, not the catalogue.
