Facade renovation
in Lasne
Full renovation of a facade: cleaning, repair, repointing or render, finish. We do that in Lasne from our base in Walloon Brabant, with a costing visit every time before anything is agreed.

The context in Lasne
Why here in particular
Very scattered housing between meadows, hedges and woodland: Lasne is among the greenest municipalities in Walloon Brabant, with large isolated properties. In practice, those isolated properties add up a lot of square metres of roof plus outbuildings that get forgotten until the first leak.
A joint hollowed out by ten millimetres is not just a cosmetic flaw: it is a point of entry for water. On an exposed facade, a few winters are enough for the brick to start splitting.

Frequently asked questions
Facade renovation in Lasne
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Is the scaffolding included?
It is priced separately, as a visible line on the quote. Nothing is hidden inside a vague lump sum.
Do you need a permit?
A simple clean, no. A change of colour or material, often yes, especially in a protected area. We check with the municipality.
Can a facade be renovated in winter?
Not below 5 °C and not with frost forecast. Mortars and renders do not set properly.
Do you come out to Lasne with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Lasne is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
