Water-repellent treatment & coating à Uccle
Clear or coloured water repellent for porous tiles and facades. Uccle is a matter of maintenance, like the green periphery around the city.
15 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
On a Brussels roof slope a water repellent adds little: the slopes are small, often in natural slate, and the real leak is in the box gutter. We advise against it here most of the time, and we say so. On the concrete tiles of the post-war districts in Evere or Anderlecht the conversation is different — there it is justified.
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 le traitement hydrofuge 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 ; le traitement hydrofuge n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Applied properly on a clean, dry surface, allow eight to ten years on a roof and five to eight years on a facade exposed to westerly rain. The first sign of wear is easy to spot: the water no longer beads, it spreads out and darkens the material.
The clear product changes nothing about the appearance: it is the default choice, and the only one allowed in a protected area. The coloured product evens out a covering whose colours have drifted after successive repairs. It does not rescue a covering at the end of its life — it disguises it, and we will tell you so.
