Asbestos removal
in Uccle
Mansards and dormers multiply the joints: that is almost always where the water ends up getting in. That is why asbestos removal comes back so often in our schedule in Uccle.
The context in Uccle
Why here in particular
Mansards and dormers multiply the joints: that is almost always where the water ends up getting in. So we adapt the equipment and the method rather than applying 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 Uccle
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
How do I know if my roof contains asbestos?
The age gives a strong presumption: before 1998, corrugated fibre cement sheets nearly always contain it. Only an analysis confirms it, and we organise that.
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.
Do you come out to Uccle with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Uccle is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
