Old plaster on walls and ceilings can contain asbestos. We remove it safely, in a hermetic zone and in accordance with the rules.
Corrugated sheets, vinyl floors and pipe insulation are not the only materials that can contain asbestos. The plaster on the walls and ceilings of older homes and buildings can also contain asbestos fibres. You cannot tell by looking: asbestos plaster looks like ordinary plaster. When it is chipped off, ground or drilled, dust is released, and that is dust you do not want to breathe in.
Credim removes asbestos plaster for private individuals and professionals, always in a hermetic zone. Below you can read how to recognise it, why you should not tackle it yourself and how we go about it.
You cannot tell with certainty by eye. Asbestos was used in all kinds of building materials until 2001, so caution is advised with any building from before 2001. Certainty only comes from a sample and a laboratory analysis. Have these carried out by a certified asbestos expert. That expert also draws up the asbestos certificate. Credim does not draw up certificates, but does remove the asbestos listed in them.
What you should definitely not do in the meantime: scratch, sand, drill or chip off pieces to see what is underneath. The less you touch the plaster, the fewer fibres are released.
When asbestos plaster is removed, there is a high chance of fibres being released. OVAM therefore lists plasterwork among the applications that only a certified asbestos removal contractor may remove, just like pipe insulation and the asbestos adhesive layer under floors. The exception that allows a private individual to remove bonded, undamaged and screwed material up to 35 m² themselves does not apply here. Anyone who starts chipping or grinding can spread fibres throughout the whole house.
We always remove plaster in a hermetic zone. We seal the room airtight with sheeting, build an airlock and put the zone under negative pressure. The air is filtered continuously. Our staff wear disposable coveralls and respiratory protection. The plaster is kept wet and double-wrapped straight away. Afterwards the zone is cleaned and checked before we release it.
During a free site visit we look at the room and the substrate of the walls and ceilings, measure the surface area and you receive a clear quote.
Asbestos plaster is also found in offices, commercial premises and other buildings from before 2001. For contractors, property managers and companies we plan the removal in consultation, also in combination with demolition works. Already have an asbestos certificate or inventory? Then we can usually quote a price straight away.
