Asbestos inventory
Asbestos, once praised for its insulating properties and fire resistance, is today identified as a major source of health risks, especially due to the inhalation of microscopic fibres. In Belgium, if you own a dwelling or building, it is crucial to understand your legal obligations in terms of asbestos detection and managing the risks of exposure to asbestos./f/120156/4288x2848/db1e4f0af8/istock-513755462.jpg)

Studio (< 60 m²): €429
Less than 120 m²: €475
Between 120 m² en 250 m²: €550
Between 250 m² en 450 m²: €650
More than 450 m²: based on estimate
The price for asbestos inventory includes the collection and analysis of two samples. An additional €69 will be charged per extra sample.
Prices are mentioned with 21% VAT included.
Legal obligations and subsidies
Since the discovery of the dangers of asbestos fibres, notably severe lung diseases, asbestos has been banned. The asbestos inventory, an integral part of the property diagnosis, is an essential report that identifies the presence of materials and products containing asbestos. There are two types of inventories: destructive and non-destructive, focusing on asbestos-containing materials, false ceilings, asbestos cement pipes, and other risk areas.
Since 2022, a technical asbestos file is mandatory when selling a dwelling built before 2001. From 2032, every owner of a building constructed before this date will need to have a validated technical asbestos inventory, regardless of the desire to sell.
Be aware that in Flanders, aid is available for the detection and treatment of asbestos: OVAM Vlaanderen. In Wallonia, a subsidy is available to cover 50% of the cost of collecting, grouping and disposing of asbestos waste.

Asbestos inventory process
The asbestos inventory includes:
Visual inspection: a certified expert conducts a thorough visual check to detect the presence of materials and products likely to contain asbestos fibres.
Sampling and analysis: samples are taken for comprehensive laboratory analysis.
Asbestos inventory report: this document includes the location of the asbestos-containing materials, their condition, and recommendations for the removal of the materials or their management, including de-asbestos interventions.
The duration of the asbestos inventory process varies depending on the size of the building and the availability of experts, but it generally falls between 7 and 14 days.
