Roof insulation à Uccle
Insulation of pitched roofs and lofts, from the inside or as sarking. Uccle is a matter of maintenance, like the green periphery around the city.

What that changes here
The Brussels loft is narrow, tall and awkward to get to; everything goes up by hand through the stairwell. In a subdivided building there is also the question of who pays for what. Technically we watch above all the airtightness around the dormer and the junction against the party wall: those are the two places where damp comes back.
Uccle is green, large and hilly: villas from the 1920s to the 1970s on big plots, often in natural slate or clay tile, with long slopes and old trees right above them. It is the Brussels municipality where maintenance — leaves, moss, valleys — weighs heaviest.
What we get called out for in Uccle
Uccle is a matter of maintenance, like the green periphery around the city. The calls come in after autumn: leaves in the valleys, moss on the north side, a branch that has broken tiles. Alongside that, the large villa roofs of the 1960s and 1970s are gradually coming round to a full renewal.
Uccle porte le code postal 1180 et se situe in the Brussels-Capital Region. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 15 km : nous y planifions l’isolation de toiture en même temps que les chantiers de Forest, Ixelles et Anderlecht, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Pour un devis, la visite à Uccle se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 15 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Forest ou Ixelles, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; l’isolation de toiture n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
For a pitched roof, aim for 18 to 24 cm of mineral wool or PIR depending on the material, to meet the requirements in force. In an existing roof structure the space between rafters is limited: you then add a second layer under the rafters, crossing the joints.
In most cases, yes: the insulation is fitted from the inside. Sarking — insulation laid over the roof structure, under the tiles — is only justified if the roof has to be redone anyway. In that case it is the best solution, and the question comes up before the tiles are ordered.
