An asbestos project in Vilvoorde? Sertic prepares your request and looks for a suitable professional. Renovating a home above business premises.
Renovating a home above business premises
For a home and business sharing one building, identify occupants on each floor and shared pipes, ceilings or access. An apartment report does not automatically cover the business or common areas. Identify the areas to be opened before work starts.
A practical point for your area
Vilvoorde is in Flanders. The city directs waste collection matters to Incovo. Confirm the material’s disposal route and who will deliver it: the removal contractor’s address does not determine the building’s regional rules.

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.
