Asbestos Removal

Asbestos Removal

Professional renovation service delivered by Total Renovation Company across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

Certified asbestos removal by Total Renovation Company: licensed contractors in protective gear removing asbestos roof tiles under containment

Asbestos Removal Done Right, First Time

Asbestos in older European homes is common. Asbestos roof tiles, floor tiles, pipe lagging and Eternit cladding all need certified removal before any renovation can safely proceed. Our asbestos removal service handles the full process: independent inventory, removal plan submission to the local authority, certified removal under containment, sealed disposal at a licensed facility, air-clearance testing and certificate of completion. We coordinate timing with the rest of your renovation so removal happens at the right moment. Most asbestos removals finish in one to three days depending on volume; the regulatory steps take 1 to 4 weeks ahead of work.

  • Certified roof asbestos and Eternit removal

Frequently Asked Asbestos Removal Questions

Is asbestos still common in European homes?

Yes. Homes built before 1994 in the Netherlands, before 2001 in Belgium and before 1993 in Germany often contain asbestos in roof tiles, floor tiles, pipe lagging or boiler insulation.

How long does asbestos removal take?

The physical removal usually takes one to three days. Regulatory submission and waiting period adds 1 to 4 weeks before work can start. Air-clearance testing happens on the final day.

How much does asbestos removal cost?

Typical asbestos removals range from 1,500 euro for small interior lagging to 7,000 to 15,000 euro for a full asbestos roof. Cost depends on volume and access.

Can I do it myself?

Only very small amounts of bonded asbestos under strict conditions in some jurisdictions. For roofs, large quantities, or any friable asbestos, certified removal is legally required. We strongly recommend certified removal in every case.

Do I need to leave the house during removal?

For containment areas yes, the immediate work zone is sealed off. Most clients can stay in unaffected parts of the house. For whole-roof removal we often recommend moving out for the day.

Will my insurance cover this?

Sometimes yes, especially if asbestos is discovered during permitted renovation work. We provide all the documentation insurers need.
