What that changes here
Farm roof structures are old, often altered and sometimes carrying more load than they were built for. We measure the actual sections and spans before any decision, especially if insulation or solar panels are being added.
Our registered office is on Leuvensestraat. We know the Tienen building stock from the inside: grand town houses in the centre with box gutters concealed behind a cornice, post-war houses in concrete tiles now reaching their first renovation, and in the villages farms with vast roofs and fibre cement outbuildings.
What we get called out for in Tienen
In Tienen our calls fall into three families. The first comes from the centre: a box gutter behind the cornice that has been leaking into the wall head for months. The second from the districts of the 1960s and 1970s, where the concrete tiles are all reaching the end of their life at the same time. The third from the villages, where a farm or a shed still carries corrugated sheets and the owner wants to know where he stands before a sale.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Tienen se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Tienen, à 0 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Landen ou Leuven, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; la charpente n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
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.
The products we use are approved and applied according to their instructions. The dwelling must be ventilated and unoccupied during application and for a few hours afterwards, particularly where there are young children or pets. We tell you how long before we start.
