CULA is your partner of choice for prestige renovations in Uccle, where high-quality standards are paramount. We bring your dreams to life with perfect craftsmanship, ensuring harmony between aesthetics and functionality.
Uccle is one of the greenest municipalities in Brussels. You'll find villas from the 1920s to the 1950s, townhouses, detached-house neighbourhoods (Saint-Job, Carloo, Calevoet) and large apartment buildings from the 1960s and 1970s, as at Fort Jaco or Vert Chasseur.
In villas the jobs are often larger: an extension towards the garden, a master bathroom, an open kitchen, roof and insulation. In 1960s and 70s apartments: original wiring, water stacks, small bathrooms that need rethinking, insulation of façades and flat roofs.
Gardens and trees are regulated: felling a large tree or significantly altering the ground level in principle needs a permit. In co-owned buildings, drains and stacks are only touched with the syndic's approval. In residential streets, plan parking for the skip and vans from the start.
In Uccle, requests often concern villas and mansion houses, with higher-end finishes. For the projects we see most often here, expect in general: a complete 8 m² bathroom (premium range): €27,000 to €35,500; a 12 m² fitted kitchen, installation included (premium range): €27,000 to €44,000; painting 250 m² of walls and ceilings (premium range): €7,500 to €13,000. Amounts include 6% VAT (home over 10 years old), for a site in average condition. The exact price depends on the property's condition: we set it after the free visit.
The RENOLUTION grants will not return: the 2027 regional budget, agreed on 4 October 2026, plans zero-interest loans for energy renovation instead, expected in spring 2027. On obligations, every Brussels home will need an EPB certificate and must reach class E (275 kWh/m²/year) by 1 January 2033 at the latest. And since 1 June 2025, no oil boiler may be installed during works.
How much does a bathroom cost in Uccle?
Expect €12,000 to €16,000 for 5 m² in a standard finish and €25,000 to €35,000 for a large bathroom. The detail is in our article on prices in Uccle, below.
Can a villa be extended in Uccle?
Often yes, but an extension changes the volume and in principle needs a planning permit, with depth and height rules set by the regional regulation and municipal rules. An architect prepares the file; we price the works in parallel.
My villa in Uccle is rated F: what must I do before 2033?
Reach at least class E. In a villa, the clearest gains usually come from the roof, the windows and replacing an old boiler. We plan them with your other works so the same rooms are not opened twice.
