Roof covering & renovation à Ixelles
New roofs, renovation and repair: tiles, slates, natural slates and zinc. 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
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.
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 ; 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.
