Zinc work & gutters à Uccle
Hanging gutters, box gutters, downpipes, valleys and flashings in zinc or aluminium. Uccle is a matter of maintenance, like the green periphery around the city.

What that changes here
This is the most requested job in Brussels, and the most underestimated. The box gutter runs from party wall to party wall, behind a cornice that is sometimes protected, on a deck nobody has ever seen. We strip the first course of the covering to expose the whole box: doing half a job on a box gutter makes no sense.
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 zinguerie 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 ; 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.
