Zinc work & gutters à Vilvoorde
Hanging gutters, box gutters, downpipes, valleys and flashings in zinc or aluminium. 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
Box gutters concealed behind a cornice are the rule in the town centre, and the weak point above all others: invisible from the street, they leak into the masonry for years. We rebuild them in soldered zinc with resized outlets, never in patch-up resin.
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.

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 ; la zinguerie n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Yes, and we recommend it every autumn for houses surrounded by trees. While we are up there we check the brackets, the outlets and the flashings — it is the cheapest moment to find a problem.
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.
