La Fougeraise D'etancheite

What La Fougeraise D'etancheite does

La Fougeraise d'Étanchéité is a French SARL (société à responsabilité limitée) headquartered in Romagné, near Fougères in Brittany, that has specialized in flat-roof waterproofing and insulation since its founding in 1989 by Pierre MARTINE, with Richard MARTINE taking over leadership in October 2009. The firm serves customers within an 80-kilometer radius across three French departments (North Ille-et-Vilaine, South Manche, and Mayenne), spanning Brittany, Normandy, and Pays de la Loire.

The company's core offering comprises six flat-roof system typologies accessible, gravel-covered, vegetated, photovoltaic, self-protected, and garden roofs delivered through three underlying technologies: bitumen, PVC membrane, and liquid resin application. Beyond flat roofs, it provides underground wall waterproofing and an annual maintenance service, executing projects with a team of nine qualified collaborators. The portfolio positions the firm across both conventional new-build waterproofing and adjacent growth segments such as photovoltaic integration and vegetated roofing, aligning with energy-transition and urban-greening demand.

La Fougeraise d'Étanchéité generates revenue on a quote-driven, project-based model with a 30% deposit at order and monthly progress payments for projects exceeding 30 days. Its customer base is segmented across three channels: local governments and public bodies won through public procurement, building professionals including developers and social-housing operators, and individual homeowners. Compliance with French building-trade requirements, including the NF P 03-001 framework and the decennale, bon fonctionnement, and parfait achèvement warranties, underpins contractual eligibility for institutional and insured projects. Named clients include the Gendarmerie, INRIA, schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, Kiloutou, and Restaurant l'Unik, evidencing penetration across public, institutional, and private commercial segments.
