Roofing, waterproofing, fencing & terraces in Paris 1er arrondissement
In the 1st arrondissement, work often concerns older buildings around the Louvre, Palais-Royal, Les Halles and rue de Rivoli. Access is tight, many elevations are visible from public space, and permit files need careful preparation.
We prioritise discreet solutions suited to heritage buildings: zinc repairs, slate roofing, rainwater drainage, small terrace waterproofing and site logistics adapted to high-footfall streets.
In Paris 1er arrondissement we work with natural slate, zinc, terracotta tiles and steel decking. Slate prevails on Haussmann buildings; zinc — iconic of Parisian architecture — lasts 50 to 100 years; mechanical tile remains the standard for suburban homes. Our qualified roofers guide you toward the right material for your building and local planning rules.
Learn more about roofing →The waterproofing membrane determines the lifespan of a flat roof in Paris 1er arrondissement. We use poured asphalt, EPDM rubber (UV-resistant), and APP or SBS multilayer bituminous membranes. Each lasts 15 to 30 years. Thermographic surveys locate leaks precisely before works begin.
Learn more about waterproofing →In Paris 1er arrondissement, powder-coated aluminium is the most popular option — corrosion-resistant, all RAL colours, 20 to 30 years maintenance-free. PVC is the best price-to-quality choice for gardens. Wood (treated pine, chestnut, black locust) brings warmth at the cost of regular upkeep. Galvanised welded mesh for quick perimeter security. We also install motorised gates and matching wickets.
Learn more about fencing →For a terrace in Paris 1er arrondissement, exotic hardwoods (ipe, teak, cumaru) last 20 to 30 years with unmatched warmth. Pressure-treated pine is the budget alternative. Composite wood-plastic does not warp or grey and needs only annual cleaning. Porcelain stoneware delivers a modern finish and handles freeze-thaw cycles. We design the load-bearing structure to suit your substrate.
