Coloured roof coating
in Uccle
On the building stock of Uccle — town mansions, mansard roofs, natural slate, ornate zinc work — coloured roof coating needs a method that fits. A tired roof gets back an even colour and a surface that repels water, without a full replacement.

The context in Uccle
Why here in particular
Mansards and dormers multiply the joints: that is almost always where the water ends up getting in. So we adapt the equipment and the method rather than applying 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.

How it runs
How the job runs
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.
Full clean
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 Uccle
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
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.
Is it allowed everywhere?
In some protected centres the roof colour is regulated. We check with the municipality before ordering the product.
Do you come out to Uccle with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Uccle is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
