Asbestos removal
in Namur
Removal, packaging and disposal of asbestos fibre cement sheets, by the book, with full traceability. In Namur (5000) it is a regular request: the narrow, steep roofs in the centre call for slate work and careful zinc work, rather than simple maintenance.
The context in Namur
Why here in particular
The narrow, steep roofs in the centre call for slate work and careful zinc work, more than simple maintenance. So we adapt the kit and the method rather than running a standard protocol.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Asbestos removal in Namur
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
Can I do it myself?
For a private individual working on their own non-friable sheets, Belgian law tolerates it under strict conditions. In practice, the slightest dry breakage releases fibres. We advise against it.
Do you have to leave the house?
Not for an outbuilding roof outdoors. We cordon off, we protect, and we ask you to keep doors and windows on the work side closed.
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 come out to Namur with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Namur is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
Other work in Namur
While we are on site
Combining two jobs in one visit brings the invoice down. We suggest it when it makes sense, never to pad the quote.
