What that changes here
Houses under trees hold damp, the favourite ground of rot fungi — faster and more destructive than insects. So we put the ventilation right at the same time as the timber.
Zaventem lives with the airport: over the decades many houses have had extra insulation and acoustic work carried out in the roof. That work was not always done carefully, and we regularly find a crushed air gap or a missing vapour barrier.
What we get called out for in Zaventem
In Zaventem it is striking how many enquiries concern what sits under the tiles. Over the years many roofs have had an extra layer of insulation or acoustic work; we get called when damp gets involved. Alongside that, the ordinary work: gutters, roof windows and slopes at the end of their life.
Zaventem porte le code postal 1930 et se situe in the northern periphery of Brussels. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 9 km : nous y planifions la charpente en même temps que les chantiers de Kraainem, Machelen et Wezembeek-Oppem, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Zaventem se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 9 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Kraainem ou Machelen, 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.
