Cleaning & moss removal à Vilvoorde
Moss removal by hand, brushing, anti-moss treatment and low-pressure rinsing. In Vilvoorde it is almost always water getting in somewhere without anyone seeing where.
4 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
In town the dirt comes as much from pollution and pigeons as from moss, and the surroundings complicate everything: parked cars, neighbouring gardens, terraces. We sheet over the sensitive areas and work at low pressure to avoid any spray going next door.
Vilvoorde combines a dense centre of terraced houses with a long industrial past. In the old core the box gutters sit concealed behind the cornices and are invisible from the street: those are precisely the ones that leak into the masonry for years before anyone notices.
What we get called out for in Vilvoorde
In Vilvoorde it is almost always water getting in somewhere without anyone seeing where. The concealed box gutters of the old core are the textbook case; we are also called regularly about party walls and about the junction between two buildings of different heights, where a badly made upstand takes the water straight inside.
Vilvoorde porte le code postal 1800 et se situe in the northern periphery of Brussels. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 4 km : nous y planifions le démoussage en même temps que les chantiers de Machelen, Grimbergen et Zaventem, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Pour un devis, la visite à Vilvoorde se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 4 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Machelen ou Grimbergen, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; le démoussage n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
On porous concrete tiles or aged fibre cement slates, a water-repellent treatment has a real effect and clearly slows the return of moss. On natural slate it is almost pointless: the stone absorbs practically no water. We tell you that on site rather than selling it on principle.
Every four to six years for an open roof, every two to three years if it is shaded by trees or faces north. Under broadleaf trees, the build-up of leaves counts as much as the moss: it is the leaves that block the valleys and send water under the covering.
