Roof structure & framing à Machelen
Repairs to rafters, purlins and verges, timber treatment included. Machelen and Diegem call for two ways of working a few streets apart: single-family houses where the occupants are at home, and company buildings where the work cannot stop.

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.
Machelen and Diegem form a mixed fabric of residential districts and industrial estates. We work there on single-family houses as much as on warehouses and company flat roofs, with the organisation that goes with it: working outside opening hours and zone by zone.
What we get called out for in Machelen
Machelen and Diegem call for two ways of working a few streets apart: single-family houses where the occupants are at home, and company buildings where the work cannot stop. For the latter we plan zone by zone and outside opening hours; for the former, as anywhere else.
Machelen porte le code postal 1830 et se situe in the northern periphery of Brussels. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 5 km : nous y planifions la charpente en même temps que les chantiers de Vilvoorde, Zaventem et Grimbergen, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Machelen se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 5 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Vilvoorde 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.
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.
A curative treatment carried out properly protects for about ten years. But the real protection is ventilation: a dry, ventilated loft interests neither insects nor fungi. So we put the ventilation right at the same time as the timber.
