Attic renovation in Brussels: transform your attic into a true living space

Attic renovation in Brussels

In Brussels, many homes have attics or lofts that are underutilized, left in their raw state or relegated to mere storage. However, these spaces offer considerable potential to create one or more additional rooms, enhance the home, and improve the overall thermal comfort of the building.

Whether you want to create a bedroom, a home office, a playroom, or an independent studio, attic renovation requires method, technical skill, and compliance with standards. At Avenir Rénovations Bruxelles, we support you through every step of your project, from the initial diagnosis to the completion of the work.

The steps of an attic renovation project in Brussels

Transforming an attic into a living space requires a rigorous technical approach and excellent coordination among trades. Here are the main steps:

Why choose Avenir Rénovations Bruxelles?

Fitting out an attic is not something to improvise. It requires both technical skills (structure, thermal, waterproofing) and a good understanding of local regulations. That is why it is essential to be supported by an experienced local professional.

We take charge of your project in its entirety: technical study, administrative procedures, material selection, management of craftsmen, finishes. You have a dedicated point of contact who coordinates the stages and keeps you informed of progress. This guarantees you a smooth project, without unpleasant surprises.

Following our visit, we provide you with a detailed, free, and non-binding quote. This quote takes into account all necessary items: insulation, structure, coverings, carpentry, techniques, stairs, finishes. We adapt it to your needs and the configuration of the building, while respecting your budget.

We guide you towards the best technical solutions to maximize space, meet PEB requirements, improve acoustics, and fully enjoy natural light. We help you anticipate the evolution of your needs: fit-out for young adults, rental, multipurpose space, etc.

What is the cost of an attic renovation in Brussels?

The cost of an attic fit-out depends on many parameters: surface area, available height, existing condition, accessibility, number of rooms created, level of finish, complexity of technical connections.

Here are some indicative benchmarks:

Type of service Average price including tax
Interior roof insulation 40 to 80 €/m²
Creation of a custom wooden staircase 3,000 to 6,000 €
Installation of 2 roof windows (Velux) 1,500 to 3,000 €
Complete attic fit-out (20 to 30 m²) 1,000 to 1,600 €/m²
High-end renovation with integrated bathroom 1,700 to 2,500 €/m²

When the home is over 10 years old, you may benefit from the reduced VAT rate of 6%, applicable to work carried out by a licensed contractor. This measure significantly reduces the total cost of the renovation. Avenir Rénovations helps you check your eligibility and complete the necessary formalities.

Are there grants for renovating an attic in Brussels?

Yes. Several financial aids from the Brussels-Capital Region can be mobilized for attic renovation, provided that the work concerns the building envelope or improves its energy performance.

The following works are eligible for RENOLUTION grants:

  • Insulation of the roof or slopes (up to 50 €/m² for mineral wool, 72 €/m² for bio-based insulators)
  • Installation of roof windows with super insulating glazing (up to 180 €/m²)
  • Ventilation works (simple or double flow systems)
  • Accessibility modifications if the attic is intended for accessible use
  • Health works if the attic was uninhabitable or unusable

For certain grants, a housing audit is mandatory. We help you plan the work in the optimal order, consult an accredited auditor, and compile your file. The amount of the grants depends on your income category and the type of building.
