Water-repellent treatment & coating à Molenbeek-Saint-Jean
Clear or coloured water repellent for porous tiles and facades. 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.
9 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
On a Brussels roof slope a water repellent adds little: the slopes are small, often in natural slate, and the real leak is in the box gutter. We advise against it here most of the time, and we say so. On the concrete tiles of the post-war districts in Evere or Anderlecht the conversation is different — there it is justified.
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 ; le traitement hydrofuge n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
The clear product changes nothing about the appearance: it is the default choice, and the only one allowed in a protected area. The coloured product evens out a covering whose colours have drifted after successive repairs. It does not rescue a covering at the end of its life — it disguises it, and we will tell you so.
On a porous brick or render, yes, and it is often the cheapest way to stop damp coming through a west-facing gable. The condition is the same: a clean, dry surface, and the cause dealt with first — an overflowing gutter, for example.
