Hanging gutters, box gutters, downpipes, valleys and flashings in zinc or aluminium. In Tienen our calls fall into three families.
from our office in Tienen
What that changes here
Large farm and barn roofs send enormous volumes to very few discharge points. We recalculate the cross-sections on the area actually served and provide a visible overflow: if it runs, you know the main downpipe is blocked.
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.

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 zinguerie n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Zinc is still the benchmark: forty to fifty years, solderable, repairable, and it takes a patina. Coated aluminium costs less, goes up faster and comes in every colour, but its joints are glued or riveted, so they are weaker over time. Galvanised steel we advise against wherever there is road salt or urban air.
In most cases it is undersized, or it serves too much area for a single downpipe. A good Belgian downpour delivers more water than a standard gutter can carry away. The fix is rarely to replace everything: an extra downpipe and resized outlets are usually enough.
