Before renovation, know what’s there.

Kitchen, cellar or roof: have the materials checked before work starts.

Understand the process

Start with the work you plan

For a kitchen, bathroom, boiler or suspended ceiling, provide your existing report, affected rooms and planned work. The expert defines further investigation, including hidden layers. Openings and repairs are agreed before the visit.

Renovating in Zaventem

Zaventem is in Flanders. An existing protocol or asbestattest must be checked against the actual work. Federal rules require asbestos risks to be identified before worker exposure; regional procedures and any permits are checked separately. The French term RAAT alone does not define the required Belgian document.

  • Existing report and available plans
  • Affected rooms, materials and planned works
  • Analysis count, report timeline and repairs specified in the offer

Which professional for which assignment?

Sertic connects you with partners. Our removal partners hold FPS Employment approval for the relevant removal methods. Simple treatments use a separate list or an already approved contractor. For a Flemish asbestattest, we use an expert certified through the OVAM system; for analyses, a laboratory approved for the assignment. Documents and validity are checked before assignment.

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.

What changed in December 2025

The federal reform applies from 22 December 2025. It strengthens competency requirements for inventories and worker exposure prevention. For your project, check the professional’s qualifications, the affected materials and the planned method before work begins.

Preparing the right site documents in Brussels

For sites under class 1B or 1C procedures, Brussels Environment requires a signed destructive inventory of the affected areas, prepared independently of the removal contractor. A visual management inventory is insufficient for this file. Contractor approval does not replace regional site authorisation.
