Roof covering & renovation à Schaerbeek
New roofs, renovation and repair: tiles, slates, natural slates and zinc. In Schaerbeek nine calls out of ten are about water coming in through the cornice.

What that changes here
Redoing a complete slope in Brussels is first of all a paperwork job: a planning permit as soon as the appearance changes, a road occupation permit for the scaffold, and in a jointly owned block a vote at the general meeting. On the roof itself the slopes are narrow and steep, and the junction against the neighbouring facade counts for more than the open field of the roof.
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 ; la rénovation de toiture n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Clay or concrete tiles are the norm in Flemish Brabant: quicker to lay, lower cost, good resistance to our climate. Natural slate lasts sixty to a hundred years and is often required in a protected area or under an estate’s building rules. The municipal planning regulations frequently decide for you — we check them before pricing the job.
Allow five to ten working days for a house with 100 to 150 m² of roof, depending on the weather and the state of the roof structure found once the covering is off. We work one slope at a time and sheet over every evening: your house stays watertight from the first day to the last.
