Zinc work & gutters à Jette
Hanging gutters, box gutters, downpipes, valleys and flashings in zinc or aluminium. In Jette the interwar roofs are starting their second life.
7 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
This is the most requested job in Brussels, and the most underestimated. The box gutter runs from party wall to party wall, behind a cornice that is sometimes protected, on a deck nobody has ever seen. We strip the first course of the covering to expose the whole box: doing half a job on a box gutter makes no sense.
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 la zinguerie 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 ; la zinguerie n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Yes, and we recommend it every autumn for houses surrounded by trees. While we are up there we check the brackets, the outlets and the flashings — it is the cheapest moment to find a problem.
Zinc is still the benchmark: forty to fifty years, solderable, repairable, and it takes a patina. Coated aluminium costs less, goes up faster and comes in every colour, but its joints are glued or riveted, so they are weaker over time. Galvanised steel we advise against wherever there is road salt or urban air.
