Facade renovation & cleaning à Leuven
Cleaning, repointing, water repellent and facade render. Leuven brings us two kinds of client: private owners on the edge of the city, and managers of subdivided buildings in the centre.

What that changes here
A facade renovation in town almost always means a scaffold on the public road, so a permit and a schedule. In an apartment block there is also the approval of the general meeting. We supply the file and the phasing before the vote.
Leuven is a student city with a historic centre and a great many subdivided buildings. That gives very varied roofs within a few streets: protected facades in the centre, terraced houses with small dormers, and at the back a forest of flat roofs over extensions that are rarely maintained.
What we get called out for in Leuven
Leuven brings us two kinds of client: private owners on the edge of the city, and managers of subdivided buildings in the centre. With the latter, the flat roofs over the extensions and the valleys between two buildings come back again and again — precisely the places that get forgotten when a house is divided up.
Leuven porte le code postal 3000 et se situe in the Dyle valley. Notre équipe part de Tienen, à 18 km : nous y planifions la rénovation de façade en même temps que les chantiers de Wezembeek-Oppem, Zaventem et Overijse, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Leuven se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Tienen, à 18 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.
