Asbestos removal
in Genval
The damp coming off the water and the timber roof overhangs call for particular attention to exposed roof timbers. That is why asbestos removal comes up so often in our schedule in Genval.
The context in Genval
Why here in particular
Laid out around its lake, Genval brings together older villas, holiday homes turned into main residences and recent builds. In practice, the damp off the water and the timber roof overhangs mean the exposed roof timbers need particular attention.
Plenty of garage, outbuilding and shed roofs built before 1998 are asbestos fibre cement. As long as nobody touches them, the risk is low. The moment you break, drill or brush them, it is not.

Asbestos removal in Genval
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
What happens to the sheet after it comes off?
It leaves wrapped, bound for an approved facility. You are given the disposal docket: that is your proof.
Do you then fit the new roof covering?
Yes, and it is simpler: one company, one schedule, no gap between two visits.
Are there any grants?
Depending on the Region and the period, yes. We point you to where to look, without ever promising an amount on your behalf.
Do you come out to Genval with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Genval is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
