A certified asbestos removal company that also safely removes asbestos in Roeselare and the surrounding area, from pipe insulation to asbestos roofs.
If you own a house in Roeselare built before 2001, there is a fair chance that asbestos is present somewhere. It is often well hidden. In the cellar of a house from the 1970s, for example, around the central heating pipes there may be a white, crumbly layer. That is not ordinary plaster. It is asbestos-containing pipe insulation, usually still wrapped in jute cloth.
Old vinyl floors are also a classic. Those cheerful floor coverings from the 1960s and 1980s often had an asbestos-containing backing, and the black adhesive underneath (cutback) can also contain asbestos. That adhesive is brittle and easily releases fibres. You don't want to be scraping at it yourself with a putty knife.
Outside, you also often see it: corrugated sheets on a canopy, old boiler room cladding, or wall panels that have weathered the elements. These are recognisable applications, but whether it is really asbestos is only known after a sample is taken by an asbestos expert. They also draw up the asbestos certificate, which has been mandatory since 2022 when selling a property and by 2032 for every owner of a building built before 2001.
When asbestos is found, as a private individual you may only tackle a limited part yourself: firmly bonded, undamaged material up to 35 m² that is screwed in place. But pipe insulation is friable, damaged sheets are a risk, and glued floor coverings are a specialist job. For all these tasks, you need a licensed asbestos removal contractor. And that is exactly what Credim stands for.
Our staff are trained and certified to remove asbestos in three legally recognised ways. For that crumbly pipe insulation in a Roeselare cellar, we set up a sealed zone with negative pressure. That negative pressure is there to stop fibres from leaving the zone. The asbestos is kept wet, double-wrapped and disposed of. We do the same for larger or damaged surfaces. And for simple, low-risk jobs, careful manual removal is sufficient. Afterwards, everything is sealed airtight in foil of at least 100 microns and disposed of correctly. You don't have to take anything to the recycling centre.
In Roeselare, we often see the combination of an asbestos certificate and renovation. If you insulate your roof, you must first have the asbestos corrugated sheets removed. If you insulate your facade, you will come across asbestos panels under the exterior joinery. We come by, assess the situation and provide a clear quote. We work throughout Flanders, including West Flanders, from our home base in Stabroek. We are happy to schedule appointments at a time that suits you.
