Coloured roof coating
in Namur
Set against its citadel where the Sambre meets the Meuse, Namur has a dense historic centre roofed in slate and residential districts up on the heights. A tired roof regains an even colour and a surface that sheds water, without a full replacement.

The context in Namur
Why here in particular
The narrow, steep roofs in the centre call for slate work and careful zinc work, more than simple maintenance. So we adapt the kit and the method rather than running a standard protocol.
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.

The same protocol everywhere, adapted to what the visit reveals on site. Nothing is decided from the pavement.
- Documented porosity test
- Full moss removal first
- Replacing broken tiles (per unit)
- Bonding primer
- Two coats of coloured roof coating
- 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.

Moss removal and rinsing. Paint over moss does not last six months.
Repairs
Broken tiles replaced, ridge tiles repointed.
Primer
Primer sealer on a porous substrate.
Two coats
Cross-pattern airless application, colour of your choice from the range.
Frequently asked questions
Coloured roof coating in Namur
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Which colours are possible?
Anthracite, slate, red-brown, sienna. Light colours are not advised: they show every mark.
Is it allowed everywhere?
In some protected centres the roof colour is regulated. We check with the municipality before ordering the product.
Can natural slate be painted?
No. It has to stay breathable; a film-forming paint makes it flake off.
Do you come out to Namur with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Namur is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.

While we are on site
