Coloured roof coating
in Chaumont-Gistoux
On the building stock of Chaumont-Gistoux — square-plan farmsteads, brick village houses, recent buildings with large volumes — coloured roof coating calls for a suitable method. A tired roof gets an even colour again and a surface that sheds water, without going through a full replacement.

The context in Chaumont-Gistoux
Why here in particular
What changes in Chaumont-Gistoux is the context: square-plan farmsteads, brick village houses, recent buildings with large volumes. On the plateau nothing stops the wind: large roofs lose tiles and verges there every slightly windy winter.
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.

- Full moss removal first
- Replacing broken tiles (per unit)

- Protecting the facades and the surrounding area
Porosity diagnosis
An absorption test. If the tile is too far gone, we say no and price a renewal instead.

Primer sealer on a porous substrate.

Cross-pattern airless application, colour of your choice from the range.
Frequently asked questions
Coloured roof coating in Chaumont-Gistoux
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 Chaumont-Gistoux with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Chaumont-Gistoux is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
