What that changes here
Houses under trees hold damp, the favourite ground of rot fungi — faster and more destructive than insects. So we put the ventilation right at the same time as the timber.
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 charpente 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 charpente n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Four signs should raise the alarm: fine sawdust at the foot of the timbers, exit holes a few millimetres across, timber that sounds hollow under a hammer, and a smell of fungus in the loft. None of them is visible from the ground — which is why we always go up.
The products we use are approved and applied according to their instructions. The dwelling must be ventilated and unoccupied during application and for a few hours afterwards, particularly where there are young children or pets. We tell you how long before we start.
