Asbestos removal
in Wezembeek-Oppem
A quiet residential municipality on the eastern edge of Brussels, Wezembeek-Oppem is made up of tree-lined streets and post-war villas. Removal, packaging and disposal of asbestos fibre-cement sheets, by the book, with full traceability.
The context in Wezembeek-Oppem
Why here in particular
What changes in Wezembeek-Oppem is the context: villas from the 1950s to the 1980s, hipped tile roofs, attached garages and outbuildings. The 1960s roofs are reaching the end of their life: that is when the roofing underlay, often missing altogether, becomes the real subject.
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 Wezembeek-Oppem
The questions we get asked most often before this kind of job.
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.
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 come out to Wezembeek-Oppem with no extra call-out charge?
Yes. Wezembeek-Oppem is one of our 17 municipalities: the call-out is included in the quote, not added at the bottom of the invoice.
