Asbestos removal
in Overijse
In the heart of the Druivenstreek, Overijse spreads over wooded slopes where the houses cling to the hillsides, between old grape greenhouses and recent villas. Removal, packaging and disposal of asbestos fibre cement sheets, by the book, with full traceability.
The context in Overijse
Why here in particular
What changes in Overijse is the context: post-war villas on sloping ground, old greenhouses, complex roofs with multiple pitches. The tree cover keeps the roofs damp and the gutters fill twice a year rather than once.
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 Overijse
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 Overijse with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Overijse is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.

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.
