Our services
Gutters and zinc work
Fitting, replacing and repairing gutters, downpipes and zinc elements throughout Belgium.
Gutters & zinc work: our expertise
Gutters and zinc work carry rainwater away from the roof and walls. When they overflow, leak or come loose, water runs down the façade and eventually causes stains, damp and damage.
Elite Building Group fits and replaces gutters, downpipes and zinc work: verges, flashings, valleys and cladding. We also carry out targeted repairs on existing installations.
Zinc work fits naturally with our other work: roof, façade or chimney renovation. One contractor for everything means fewer forgotten junctions.

Materials and techniques
- Zinc: A common material in Belgium, durable and understated.
- Brackets and fixings: Suited to the type of gutter and the fall.

- Soldering and seals: For watertight joints.
Materials are chosen case by case, after the visit, depending on the surface and your project.
Why it matters
Energy
By keeping damp out of the walls, good drainage also preserves the effectiveness of insulation.
Weatherproofing
Gutters and flashings in good condition stop water getting into the walls and roof.
Appearance
New, well-aligned zinc work neatly finishes a façade or roof.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my gutters need replacing?
Overflowing, leaking joints, a gutter that sags or comes loose, water marks on the façade: these are signs to take seriously.
Do you also repair existing gutters?
Yes, where possible: a leaking joint, a fixing to redo, a section to replace.
Which material should I choose?
Zinc is very common in Belgium for its durability and appearance. Other materials exist; we advise you according to the building.
Do gutters need cleaning?
Yes, leaves and moss can block them. Regular checks, especially after autumn, prevent overflowing.
Do you work alongside a roof renovation?
Yes, it is actually the ideal time to look at the zinc work.
