Roof structure & framing à Overijse
Repairs to rafters, purlins and verges, timber treatment included. In Overijse every job starts with the same question: how to get to it.

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.
In the grape region the houses often sit on a slope, on the edge of the Sonian Forest. That means long roof slopes, a lot of leaves and access that is far from straightforward for a scaffold. We plan these jobs with access as the first question, not the last.
What we get called out for in Overijse
In Overijse every job starts with the same question: how to get to it. Houses on a slope, curving drives, gardens running up to the forest — access sets the schedule here and sometimes the method itself. Then comes the usual: long slopes, heavy leaf fall, valleys that block up.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Overijse se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 21 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Wezembeek-Oppem ou Kraainem, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; la charpente n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
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.
Four signs should raise the alarm: fine sawdust at the foot of the timbers, exit holes a few millimetres across, timber that sounds hollow under a hammer, and a smell of fungus in the loft. None of them is visible from the ground — which is why we always go up.
