Roof repair in Auderghem
A leak staining the ceiling, a tile broken after the storm, a cornice coming loose: when your roof gives way, every hour counts. We handle roof repairs in Auderghem and the surrounding communes, fast, with a 10-year workmanship guarantee on the work done. Whether you own a villa near Boulevard du Souverain or a townhouse a stone's throw from the Sonian Forest, we deal with the problem before the damage gets worse.
What does this repair work involve?
Repairing a roof doesn't necessarily mean replacing everything. Most of the time the problem comes from one precise spot: a slipped slate or tile, a cracked ridge joint, a valley holding water, a chimney flashing that has come loose. We start by locating the exact origin of the leak, repair the failing element, and check the adjacent areas to avoid a repeat six months later.
If the roof is in good overall condition, a targeted repair is often enough. It's not always necessary to redo everything. If we see that the whole thing is too worn for the repair to hold, we tell you straight and explain why, with photos to back it up.
When should you call for a roof repair?
These are the situations that deserve a phone call without delay:
- A damp patch appears on the ceiling, even a small one
- A tile or slate is broken, slipped or missing
- After a storm, you find fragments of tile in the garden
- A cornice or a piece of zinc is hanging loose or deformed
- You smell mould in the attic
- Moss covers a good part of the roof and water no longer drains properly
Why it happens: the most common causes
The roofs of Auderghem and its neighbouring communes face the same stresses. Belgian winters alternate freeze and thaw, which tires the tiles and works the joints. Wind can shift elements that were already no longer solid. And on the townhouses and villas of the 60s and 70s, some materials have simply reached the end of their life.
- Tiles or slates weakened by frost and temperature swings
- Ridge or chimney joints that age and crack
- Flashings detached at the chimney-roof or dormer-roof junctions
- Blocked gutters and cornices pushing water back under the covering
- Poorly maintained valleys where leaves and debris trap moisture
What makes the price of a repair vary
We don't publish fixed rates because no two repairs are alike. What changes the cost:
- Roof access: a low, gently sloped roof is different from a steep roof three storeys up
- The extent of the damage: one broken tile versus a 4 m² area to redo entirely
- The material: natural slate, concrete tile, zinc, EPDM, Eternit... prices vary
- The state of the structure under the damaged area: if the wood has taken on water, battens sometimes need treating or replacing
- Urgency: a weekend or evening intervention under the 24h call-out service
Repair or replace?
That's the question we'll ask you before starting. If the roof is under 20-25 years old and the problem is localised, a repair holds. If repairs have been piling up on an ageing roof for 3-4 years, at some point the maths changes: every repair costs money, and a complete renovation can work out cheaper over 10 years than patching every winter.
We won't push you to redo everything if it isn't necessary. But if the roof is tired, we'd rather tell you clearly than send you the bill after every storm.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer emergency roof call-outs?
Yes. We come out within 24h, weekends included, for urgent situations: an active leak, a tile ripped off by the wind, an exposed area letting the rain in. Call +32 474 13 15 88.
Can I get a quote before the work?
Always. We start by coming to look at the roof, we explain what we found, and you get a written quote before we start anything. No work without prior agreement.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes. All our work is covered by a 10-year workmanship guarantee. If the repaired problem comes back within that period, we come back.
Does my insurance cover storm damage repairs?
Generally yes, if the damage results from a storm (winds above 100 km/h in your commune). Keep the photos and contact your insurer quickly. We can draw up a damage report if needed.
Do you also repair gutters and cornices?
Yes. Gutters, cornices, downpipes, zinc valleys: everything to do with water drainage is part of our work. A leaking cornice can cause as much damage as a broken tile.
