Zinc work & gutters à Molenbeek-Saint-Jean
Hanging gutters, box gutters, downpipes, valleys and flashings in zinc or aluminium. 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
This is the most requested job in Brussels, and the most underestimated. The box gutter runs from party wall to party wall, behind a cornice that is sometimes protected, on a deck nobody has ever seen. We strip the first course of the covering to expose the whole box: doing half a job on a box gutter makes no sense.
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 zinguerie n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
In most cases it is undersized, or it serves too much area for a single downpipe. A good Belgian downpour delivers more water than a standard gutter can carry away. The fix is rarely to replace everything: an extra downpipe and resized outlets are usually enough.
Yes, and we recommend it every autumn for houses surrounded by trees. While we are up there we check the brackets, the outlets and the flashings — it is the cheapest moment to find a problem.
