Coloured roof coating
in Overijse
A tired-looking roof gets back an even colour and a surface that repels water, without going through a full replacement. In Overijse (3090) this comes up regularly: the tree cover keeps roofs damp and the gutters fill twice a year rather than once.

The context in Overijse
Why here in particular
In the heart of the Druivenstreek, Overijse spreads over wooded ground where the houses cling to the slopes, between old grape greenhouses and recent villas. In practice the tree cover keeps the roofs damp and the gutters fill up twice a year rather than once.
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 Overijse
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 Overijse with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Overijse is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
