What this covers

The Belgian climate is mild and damp all year round: exactly what fungi and wood-boring insects need. Timber can look sound for years while being eaten hollow from the inside — which is why we always probe before we put a single tile back. Laying a new covering on a rafter that is beyond saving is the most expensive mistake there is.

  • Full probing: purlins, rafters and built-in ends
  • Identification of the organism responsible: insect, rot or dry rot
  • Decayed parts cut back to sound timber
  • Curative treatment by injection and spraying
  • Replacement of members too far gone, original sections matched
  • Ventilation put right: without it the problem comes back

Every timber probed before any quotation

Roof structure & framing — workmanship detail

On site

Seen up close

A roof is judged on its details: the junctions, the overlaps, the penetrations. This is the point of workmanship that, on this service, makes the difference between a roof that lasts ten years and one that lasts thirty.

Common questions

Roof structure & framing

A question that is not on the list? Ask it over the phone, the answer is free too.

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.
