Do I need to measure everything?
No. A rough size is enough to start. Choose ‘I don’t know’ if unsure. The professional checks relevant quantities before confirming the price.
I already have a report. Is it enough?
Its scope needs checking. A visual inventory or standard asbestattest may not cover hidden materials affected by your work. Give the report to the professional before work begins.
Who decides how many samples are needed?
The expert decides based on the materials and assignment. The indicative package includes one analysis. Additional samples and prices are agreed in advance. Don’t take samples yourself to fill in this form.
Why not a single price per square metre?
Access, material condition, removal method and waste matter as much as area. A small amount of damaged pipe insulation in a cellar may require more precautions than an intact, accessible roof.
When do I pay?
This request is free and does not place an order. The planned model is full payment after contract acceptance and before the intervention. The professional’s share is released after their completion notice and your confirmation, with no unresolved issue. Exact terms will be in the offer. This form collects no payment.
Is the inventory deducted from removal costs?
Not automatically. Inventory and removal are separate services. Any discount must appear in the offer. An ordered and completed inventory remains payable even if no removal is needed.
Is it compulsory everywhere in Belgium?
Requirements vary by region, building and planned work. Federal worker protection rules apply alongside regional rules. Town, construction year, existing report and planned works inform the specific assessment.
Is an existing inventory enough before renovation?
An older report is not automatically invalid. Check whether it covers the materials the contractor will disturb, including hidden layers. This also applies to professional work in a private home. A clearly limited intervention does not necessarily require a new inventory of the entire house.
Flemish co-ownership: the 31 December 2026 deadline
The co-owners’ association of a qualifying pre-2001 building must hold a shared-area asbestattest by 31 December 2026. From 1 January 2027, a qualifying transfer also requires this shared-area certificate. If it already exists, it must also be provided for a transfer before that deadline.
No obligation. Price confirmed before you agree.
