Cleaning, repointing, water repellent and facade render. In Schaerbeek nine calls out of ten are about water coming in through the cornice.

What that changes here
You do not touch a Brussels facade without permission: cornices, decorative render and facing stone often come under the municipal heritage regulations. We generally work from the scaffold already up for the roof, which greatly reduces the cost of the two jobs together.
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.
Schaerbeek porte le code postal 1030 et se situe in the Brussels-Capital Region. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 7 km : nous y planifions la rénovation de façade en même temps que les chantiers de Evere, Brussels et Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Common questions
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 ; la rénovation de façade n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
A facade treatment carried out properly lasts fifteen to twenty years. West and south-west gables, which take the driving rain, age noticeably faster: it is common to redo them on their own between two full campaigns.
If the masonry is sound and the brick good-looking, repointing followed by a water repellent is still the best choice: you keep the character of the facade. If the substrate is mixed, cracked or badly repaired, a render rebuilds a single surface. The diagnosis decides, not the starting budget.
