What that changes here
In town, cleaning is as much about the neighbours as about the roof. Water and dirt travel over the party wall, and the rinsing ends up on a pavement or a terrace. We protect the surroundings, work in calm weather and empty the gutters before the end of the job — otherwise all the loosened moss ends up in the downpipe.
Schaerbeek is the municipality of the 1890-1910 town house: tall, narrow facades, ornate cornices, mansard roofs in slate and a box gutter that disappears entirely behind the cornice. Around Josaphat Park and in Terdelt the 1930s are added to that, and their concrete tiles are now reaching the end of their life.
What we get called out for in Schaerbeek
In Schaerbeek nine calls out of ten are about water coming in through the cornice. The town houses there have a box gutter running from wall to wall, often still in lead or in zinc with no expansion joint, with a timber deck underneath quietly rotting. The second most common request is the lower slope of the mansard: slates working loose one after another.

Pour un devis, la visite à Schaerbeek se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 7 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Evere ou Brussels, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; le démoussage n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Every four to six years for an open roof, every two to three years if it is shaded by trees or faces north. Under broadleaf trees, the build-up of leaves counts as much as the moss: it is the leaves that block the valleys and send water under the covering.
Yes, and permanently. High pressure strips the surface, opens up the porosity and forces water under the overlap. The result: the moss comes back twice as fast and tiles work loose in the months that follow. We work by brushing and at low pressure, without exception.
