Asbestos Removal

Asbestos is dangerous

Be careful with asbestos. Asbestos fibers are dangerous and can cause cancer. That is why there are strict rules for removing asbestos. You may find asbestos in homes built before 1994. For example, in corrugated sheets, ceilings, window sills, and linoleum flooring.

Having Asbestos Removed

  • Asbestos may only be removed by a certified removal company.
  • You may remove up to 35 square meters of material containing asbestos yourself in or around your own home only under certain conditions.
  • You must report this to the municipality by filing a demolition notice with the Omgevingsloket.
