The facades of houses in Dilbeek, Itterbeek or Schepdaal take the wind and rain of the Flemish plain: joints to repoint, cracked render, flaking paint, rising damp. CULA, based in Dilbeek, works from simple cleaning to full external insulation.
Houses from the 1960s to 1980s often have a brick facade with tired joints, a damaged plinth and sometimes render coming loose. Farmhouses and older homes need more care: sealed paint or render can trap damp instead of letting it out.
Indicative prices excluding VAT, to be confirmed on site (scaffolding, height, condition of the surface and access change the figure):
Repainting or repairing a facade without changing its appearance generally needs no permit. External insulation or a different material changes the look and thickness of the wall: an environmental permit is then generally required, which we check with the municipality. Since March 2026 the Mijn VerbouwPremie for energy works is restricted to lower incomes; if your home has an EPC label of E or F, facade insulation is a step towards label D.
Render and paint need dry, mild weather: we plan preferably between spring and early autumn, and use the scaffolding to check the roof and gutters too.
Generally yes: external insulation changes the facade's look and thickness. We check with the municipality before sending you the quote.
For cleaning with repointing and painting, expect around €60 to €130 per m² excluding VAT; external insulation costs more. Only a visit gives the exact price.
Yes, but it is an almost irreversible choice. We recommend cleaning and a suitable water-repellent treatment first, and only paint if the condition of the surface justifies it.
