Velux roof window installation
in Ixelles
Opening up, fitting and sealing roof windows, with a careful interior finish. In Ixelles (1050) this comes up regularly: working in tightly packed terraces demands precise logistics and strict respect for listed or protected facades.
The context in Ixelles
Why here in particular
Working in tight terraces demands precise logistics and strict respect for listed or protected facades. So we adapt the equipment and the method rather than running a standard protocol.
A roof window that leaks is almost never the window: it is the flashing. A sealing kit that does not match the type of roof covering, and water gets through the first winter that comes.

Frequently asked questions
Velux roof window installation in Ixelles
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Do you replace an existing roof window?
Yes, and it is often half a day: the new frame takes over the existing opening when the dimensions match.
Do you fit blinds and shutters?
Yes, at the same time. That is the right moment: the joint is open and the feed is run cleanly.
Do you need a permit?
Often not for a window in the plane of the roof, sometimes yes depending on the municipality and the area. We check beforehand, which saves a nasty surprise.
Do you come out to Ixelles with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Ixelles is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
