Roofing, waterproofing, fencing & terraces in Versailles
Our work in Versailles
Versailles has some of the most constrained building stock in Île-de-France: 17th- and 18th-century private mansions in the Notre-Dame and Saint-Louis quarters, town houses in Montreuil and Porchefontaine, and more recent blocks towards Chantiers. Much of the town falls under heritage protection tied to the château's surroundings.
Within those perimeters the Architect of Historic Buildings determines material choice: traditional-format slate, small plain tile, natural zinc — and in practice no contemporary solutions visible from public space. We prepare prior-works declarations accordingly and plan for longer review times than elsewhere in the Yvelines.

Frequently asked questions
What permits are needed to redo a roof in Versailles?
A prior-works declaration is required as soon as external appearance changes. Much of the town lies within the château's protected surroundings: inside that perimeter, Architect of Historic Buildings review is added to the process and lengthens the timeline compared with the rest of the Yvelines. We prepare the file and plan around that schedule.
Which materials are accepted near the château?
In the Notre-Dame and Saint-Louis quarters, traditional materials are expected: old-format slate, small plain tile, natural zinc. Contemporary solutions visible from public space — steel decking, exposed membranes, non-integrated panels — are refused in practice. Choices follow the existing roof and neighbouring buildings.
What is the response time in Versailles?
For emergencies in Versailles, we generally respond within 24 hours. For planned projects, the estimation visit is scheduled within 2 to 3 days of your request.
