Dr Roof

Wooden terrace

Waterproofing beneath a wooden deck in Brussels

A wooden decking often conceals the membrane. Any repair work requires controlled access to sensitive areas without damaging the covering wherever possible.

  • Targeted assessment
  • Photos and report
  • Service subject to availability

Where localised dismantling is required, we aim for a consistent restoration; the condition of the existing slats may limit the aesthetic result.
