Roof renovation in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert

Roof renovation in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert

The sloped roofs of the terraced houses in Woluwe built in the 60s and 70s are reaching the end of their life cycle. Degraded natural slate, tiles displaced by successive winters, valleys clogged with temporary products for too long: the roof is often the last item we monitor, and the first to cause damage when neglected for too long. An untreated leak can damage the framework, insulation, ceilings, and turn a roofing project into a heavy renovation.

Avenir Rénovations intervenes for the complete or partial renovation of roofs in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert: diagnosis, replacement of covering, insulation, and treatment of zinc areas.

Why renovate your roof in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert?

Waterproofing and protection of the building

A failing roof allows water to enter. Infiltrations often go unnoticed for months until detected by a stain on the ceiling or a damp beam. In terraced houses with an unconverted attic, the problem remains invisible until it becomes serious. A preventive diagnosis allows us to identify at-risk areas before they cause irreversible damage.

Improvement of the EPC score

The roof accounts for up to 30% of thermal losses in a home. Combining roof renovation and attic insulation makes a single project a doubly profitable investment: the house is waterproof and better insulated. In the Brussels region, this combination entitles you to energy grants that reduce the total cost. Our roof insulation simulator provides you with an initial estimate.

Compliance with Brussels urban planning regulations

In Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, any change in material or exterior appearance of a roof may require a building permit or prior declaration. Even a like-for-like replacement is sometimes subject to declaration depending on the area. We check the applicable obligations and assist with the procedures if necessary.

The Woluwe roof: specifics and common interventions

Between framework, covering, maintenance, and waterproofing, a roof in Woluwe requires appropriate choices to ensure its durability, performance, and compliance with local regulations.

We intervene at all stages of roof renovation, from the initial diagnosis to the treatment of zinc areas:

  • Complete diagnosis: inspection of the covering, the framework, the zinc elements, and the condition of the existing insulation.
  • Replacement of tile covering (clay or concrete): see our dedicated page for tile work.
  • Re-roofing with natural or synthetic slate for manor houses or classified roofs.
  • Roofing with steel deck or sandwich panel for annex volumes or converted flat roofs.
  • Waterproofing repair for flat roofs (EPDM, bitumen, resin).
  • Treatment of valleys, edges, flashings, and replacement of defective zinc elements.
  • Replacement or installation of gutters, downspouts, and roof cornices.

Each technique has its dedicated page: waterproofing, tile, slate, steel deck and sandwich panel.

Zinc work: the details that ensure waterproofing

Zinc work refers to all the metal parts that ensure waterproofing at the junctions and unique points of the roof: flashings around chimneys, valleys between two slopes, gutters, drip edges, roof edges, edge battens. These elements are often the first to degrade and the first responsible for leaks. A covering renovation without a complete review of the zinc work is an incomplete renovation. We systematically replace defective elements, in natural zinc or lacquered aluminum depending on the configuration.

Insulation in sarking during roof renovation

The covering renovation is the ideal opportunity to insulate the roof from the outside using sarking. The technique involves placing rigid insulating panels on the existing framework before re-laying the covering. It eliminates thermal bridges at the rafters and allows for very high insulation performance without reducing interior space. The additional cost compared to a simple renovation is amortized over a few years thanks to the energy savings achieved. In the Brussels Region, this technique is eligible for Renolution grants.
