Question 1

What does a full roof renovation cost in Belgium?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a full roof renovation depends on many more factors than just the roof surface or the chosen covering.

In a quality full renovation, the existing roof structure, insulation build-up, accessibility, site logistics, demolition work, detailing and finishing level all play a major role in the final project cost.

Two homes with a similar surface area can therefore still require very different budgets.

For an average home in Belgium, a professional full renovation today often falls between roughly €35,000 and €90,000, depending on the chosen approach and finish.

Projects with extensive insulation, architectural detailing, natural slate, roof windows or bespoke finishing can of course go higher.

Why low prices are often misleading

Many people compare roof renovations only based on material prices found online. In reality, a professional roof renovation involves much more than just tiles or EPDM.

A serious full project also accounts for:

site organisation and safety provisions
scaffolding, crane work and logistics
demolition and disposal of existing materials
insulation build-up and airtightness
specialised installation according to manufacturer guidelines
detailing around chimneys, roof windows and connections
warranties, training and experience of the installing team

On top of that, quotes in the sector sometimes deliberately exclude certain necessary works or finishes. The offer looks cheaper at first, but extras are charged during execution for items that are actually essential for a correct overall finish.

For clients, it is therefore important not to look only at the final amount, but also at what is effectively included in the execution of the project.

At D-RENO we deliberately focus on transparent full renovations with durable materials, correct execution and considered finishing, so that surprises during the works are avoided as much as possible.

To give visitors a more realistic view of the possible price range, we also developed our online budget tool. Based on your project, it gives a first indicative estimate of the order of magnitude for a quality roof renovation.

Question 2

How long does an average roof renovation take?

Accepted Answer

For a pitched roof on a standard home we typically count between 7 and 15 working days. Flat roofs are often faster. You receive a detailed planning in advance and we stick to it. You follow that planning live in D-OS, together with all documents and updates.

Question 3

Which insulation method do you choose, and why?

Accepted Answer

We mainly work with high-grade sarking insulation, as it is one of the most performant insulation methods for pitched roofs. The insulation is placed on top of the roof structure, which strongly limits heat loss and better protects the existing wooden frame.

To further verify the quality of the insulation build-up, we have our projects thermally scanned where needed by SynairX, our partner company specialised in drone inspections and thermographic analysis.

When there is sufficient space within the existing wooden structure, or when an attic floor can be fully insulated, mineral wool can be an interesting alternative in some situations.

Sandwich panels are mainly used for garages, garden sheds or specific outbuildings.

Question 4

Why do you work with EPDM as standard?

Accepted Answer

EPDM is a high-grade rubber roof membrane with a very long lifespan and excellent flexibility. Unlike traditional bituminous coverings, EPDM stays elastic under large temperature swings, which absorbs tensions far better and avoids cracking.

Bituminous coverings harden over time, whereas EPDM keeps its flexibility. Especially for renovations where durability, reliability and long-term performance matter, EPDM is the logical choice for us.

That is why we deliberately do not work with bitumen, but exclusively with high-grade EPDM systems.

Question 5

Do you also remove asbestos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are a certified asbestos removal contractor. All asbestos work is carried out in-house, in line with regulations and with the correct disposal documents. From screening to removal and disposal, you have one single point of contact.

Question 6

Am I eligible for grants or subsidies?

Accepted Answer

For insulation work in Flanders, the Mijn VerbouwPremie and EPC label premiums may apply. We provide an overview of the grants your project qualifies for, and assist with the application if you wish.

Question 7

When is it really necessary to replace my roof?

Accepted Answer

Typically from 30 to 40 years onwards, or earlier in case of visible leaks, mould in the attic, broken tiles, or if you want to improve your EPC score. In doubt? A no-obligation site visit gives you certainty.

Question 8

When is the best time to renovate your roof?

Accepted Answer

Many homeowners wonder when the best moment is to renovate a roof. Is summer ideal, or can roof works perfectly take place in autumn or winter as well?

In reality, every season has its advantages. At D-RENO we carry out quality roof renovations year-round, adapted to the weather and the nature of the project.

Spring

Spring remains a popular moment for roof renovations. Temperatures are milder, days get longer and many roofs need attention after winter. It is also an ideal time to be ready before summer.

Summer

During summer, projects can move very smoothly thanks to longer working days and more stable weather. It is traditionally also the busiest period for roof works, so booking ahead is strongly recommended.

Autumn

Autumn is an interesting season as well. Many clients want to get their home fully in order before winter. With proper planning, projects often run efficiently in this period.

Winter

Although extreme weather can temporarily delay certain work, roof renovations are perfectly possible in winter during dry conditions. In milder winter periods, many projects continue without issue.

A good roof doesn't wait for the perfect season

What matters most is not the exact season, but proper preparation and considered planning. Those who get in touch in time generally have more flexibility in execution, material choices and timing.

At D-RENO we work year-round with an experienced team that adapts to conditions, always focused on quality, safety and durable finishing. Demand for quality full renovations in Herne and across Belgium remains high. For any future project, it pays to gather information early and plan ahead.
