An asbestos project in Ghent? Sertic prepares your request and looks for a suitable professional. Renovating a house and arranging waste removal.
Renovating a house and arranging waste removal
For an occupied renovation, state which rooms remain in use and where work is planned. The expert needs the sequence: a roof-only report cannot answer a question about kitchen floor adhesive.
A practical point for your area
IVAGO identifies parks accepting asbestos and their access conditions. Do not assume that every park or type of user has the same access; have the professional confirm the intended waste route.

SerticSale: an asbestattest for pre-2001 buildings
Since 23 November 2022, an asbestattest has been required when selling qualifying accessible constructions built before 2001. A certified asbestos inventory expert issues it through the OVAM system. Exact conditions depend on the construction and transfer: provide the building date and transaction type.
Rules and next steps in Flanders
Which service and budget?
To identify materials, start with an inventory. For renovation, describe the work and areas to open. For removal, state location, condition and approximate quantity. Inventory prices are grouped by size; removal is priced after technical assessment. Local rates and travel costs require confirmation.
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.
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.
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.
