Zinc work & gutters à Zaventem
Hanging gutters, box gutters, downpipes, valleys and flashings in zinc or aluminium. In Zaventem it is striking how many enquiries concern what sits under the tiles.
9 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
Under broadleaf trees an ordinary gutter turns into a planter in two autumns. We fit continuous leaf guards rather than just balloon gratings, and often add a downpipe to avoid the long runs that block at the first bend.
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 zinguerie en même temps que les chantiers de Kraainem, Machelen et Wezembeek-Oppem, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

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 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.
