Roof structure & framing à Uccle
Repairs to rafters, purlins and verges, timber treatment included. Uccle is a matter of maintenance, like the green periphery around the city.

What that changes here
Under the Brussels mansard roofs there is an old, slender roof structure, often weakened where the box gutter has leaked for decades. So the damage is almost always on the facade side, in the wall plate and the rafter ends. We open that up before putting a price forward: from below, nothing shows.
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 la charpente en même temps que les chantiers de Forest, Ixelles et Anderlecht, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Common questions
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 ; 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.
