What that changes here
In the shade of trees the north facade goes green and damp sits at the foot of the wall. The anti-algae treatment and the clearing of the vegetation are part of the job: otherwise the new finish goes green before the guarantee runs out.
Kraainem is a small, densely built municipality on the periphery, with many interwar and 1950s houses. Slates and small clay tiles are more common here than elsewhere on the periphery, and they call for a different approach from the concrete tile of the housing estates.
What we get called out for in Kraainem
Kraainem stands out for its materials. Where the rest of the periphery carries concrete tile, we still find a lot of natural slate and small interwar clay tiles. They call for a different hand and different fixings, and pressure washing is rarely a good idea here.
Kraainem porte le code postal 1950 et se situe in the eastern periphery of Brussels. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 10 km : nous y planifions la rénovation de façade en même temps que les chantiers de Wezembeek-Oppem, Zaventem et Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Kraainem se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 10 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Wezembeek-Oppem ou Zaventem, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; la rénovation de façade n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
A facade treatment carried out properly lasts fifteen to twenty years. West and south-west gables, which take the driving rain, age noticeably faster: it is common to redo them on their own between two full campaigns.
If the masonry is sound and the brick good-looking, repointing followed by a water repellent is still the best choice: you keep the character of the facade. If the substrate is mixed, cracked or badly repaired, a render rebuilds a single surface. The diagnosis decides, not the starting budget.
