Coloured roof coating
in Braine-l’Alleud
A tired roof gets an even colour again and a surface that sheds water, without going through a full replacement. In Braine-l’Alleud (1420) this comes up regularly: the large roofs of exposed villas take the west wind head-on: the verges and the ridge tiles are the first to shift.

The context in Braine-l’Alleud
Why here in particular
What changes in Braine-l’Alleud is the context: detached villas from 1970-1990, terraced houses in the centre, plenty of hipped roofs. Large, exposed villa roofs take the west wind head-on: the verges and the ridge tiles shift first.
A 25-year-old concrete tile is not necessarily finished: it is faded and porous. Recoating it with a water-repellent product costs a fraction of a re-roof and adds about ten years to its life.

Frequently asked questions
Coloured roof coating in Braine-l’Alleud
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Does the coating improve waterproofing?
It limits how much water the tile takes in. It does not replace a failed underlay.
Does it really hold up?
On a sound, properly prepared surface, 10 to 15 years. On a tile that is crumbling, no — and we turn the job down.
Which colours are possible?
Anthracite, slate, red-brown, sienna. Light colours are not advised: they show every mark.
Do you come out to Braine-l’Alleud with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Braine-l’Alleud is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
