Asbestos removal

Why remove asbestos?

Where it was quite normal to use asbestos in the 80s to even the mid-90s, the government now wants no asbestos roofs to be present by 2024. A lot of asbestos was used because it is cheap and wear-resistant material. So, asbestos was widely used in roofs, corrugated sheets, drainage pipes, window sills and ceiling slabs. Later it turned out that asbestos is extremely bad for Health, which means that from 2024 there will be a ban on asbestos roofs.

How to remove asbestos safely, what should you pay attention to?

If you have asbestos in your roof, you must have it removed before 2024. This is because asbestos fibers can be released due to erosion of asbestos roofs and it is precisely those fibers that can be so harmful to health. Asbestos can even cause deadly diseases. Fortunately, asbestos is not always dangerous. If the asbestos is stuck in a material and it is therefore bonded, there is little chance that asbestos fibers will come off. Asbestos removal in this case is also not always necessary. Asbestos in the house is not prohibited, but it is useful to know if you have asbestos in the house, so that you can also continue to check whether this material remains in good condition and the asbestos remains bonded.

Remove asbestos yourself

Can you remove asbestos yourself?

Of course, you can also choose to remove asbestos yourself. A common question is: Can I remove asbestos myself? This is allowed if it is a private house or shed with a small roof of up to 35 m2 and this roof consists of asbestos-containing corrugated sheets that are screwed. They should not be glued or nailed, as there is a chance that you will damage them when removing them and asbestos fibers will still be released. The plates must absolutely not be damaged or weathered. Before you start the job, you must also report asbestos removal to the municipality. This must be done at least 5 days before you remove the plates.

Immediately wrap the removed plates in sufficiently thick plastic and tape off corners and protruding parts from damage. If you choose to remove asbestos yourself, we advise you to be very careful and protect yourself well. Asbestos fibers are not visible to the naked eye because they are microscopic.

Good protection during asbestos removal consists of a good respirator, good glasses to protect the eyes and good quality disposable overalls.
