Assessment
Analysis on site or remotely, depending on the situation: location, condition of the surfaces and causes of water ingress.
Temporary protection
Emergency roof covering in Brussels
Temporary covering is used to minimise water ingress whilst waiting for favourable conditions or the delivery of materials for a permanent repair.
- Targeted assessment
- Photos and report
- Service subject to availability
Covering with tarpaulin remains a temporary measure: it depends on the wind, the pitch of the roof and the available anchoring points.
