Asbestos: prepare an assessment and quote request
E.g.: asbestos-containing roof or slab to be removed before renovation
Do not drill, break or sample suspect material yourself to check it. Describe the situation and planned work to a competent specialist. Distinguish suspicion, available analysis results and an intervention already defined.
Provide existing information
State location, materials and planned work. Mention existing reports and the areas they cover. Photographs taken without disturbing materials may help explain the request, but do not confirm the presence or absence of asbestos.
Have competent specialists define the next steps
The ITM highlights exposure risks during work on asbestos-containing materials and training requirements for affected employees. Ask which assessments and procedures apply before any intervention. The building’s year alone does not determine the procedure.
Clarify the assignment before accepting
Identify who carries out assessment, intervention and planned checks, and which documents are supplied. Ask about site access and conditions for later work. An online request is neither a diagnosis nor permission to start.
Indicative prices in Luxembourg
By quotation
The amount depends on a defined assignment following necessary checks. Request a quote separating assessment, intervention, waste and final services; no universal price or duration is established here.
Frequently asked questions
Can a photo identify asbestos?
Do not treat it as proof. A competent specialist must determine the checks needed; do not take your own material sample to complete the request.
Should I request removal immediately?
If presence and scope are not established, first describe the situation and available documents. Assessment should guide the next steps rather than assuming removal is always needed.
