Roof structure & framing à Molenbeek-Saint-Jean
Repairs to rafters, purlins and verges, timber treatment included. In Molenbeek the first question is almost always access: narrow streets, no room for a scaffold, and a rear that can only be reached through the house.

What that changes here
Under the Brussels mansard roofs there is an old, slender roof structure, often weakened where the box gutter has leaked for decades. So the damage is almost always on the facade side, in the wall plate and the rafter ends. We open that up before putting a price forward: from below, nothing shows.
Molenbeek is built dense and low: rows of two-storey workers’ houses, narrow plots, party walls touching one another and, at the back, a run of flat roofs over kitchens and workshops. The real work here is rarely on the slope: almost always at the verge and on the extension.
What we get called out for in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean
In Molenbeek the first question is almost always access: narrow streets, no room for a scaffold, and a rear that can only be reached through the house. Technically it is flat roofs over extensions and the junction between two buildings of different heights — exactly where the water gets in.

Pour un devis, la visite à Molenbeek-Saint-Jean se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 9 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Brussels ou Jette, 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.
