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.
Jette is largely interwar: terraced and semi-detached houses from the 1920s and 1930s, in clay tile or first-generation concrete tile, with dormers added later. Towards the Laerbeek wood the gardens get bigger and the slopes become shadier.
What we get called out for in Jette
In Jette the interwar roofs are starting their second life. We are called about tiles that have become brittle, about dormers added later and never properly flashed in, and about gutters giving up after eighty years. Rarely an emergency, often a roof that is finished.
Jette porte le code postal 1090 et se situe in the Brussels-Capital Region. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 7 km : nous y planifions le démoussage en même temps que les chantiers de Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Schaerbeek et Brussels, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Pour un devis, la visite à Jette se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 7 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Molenbeek-Saint-Jean ou Schaerbeek, 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.
