Subsidies & incentives
In Belgium, there is no standard housing grant per m² for asbestos removal as there is for classic insulation measures, but support becomes much more relevant when asbestos removal is combined with roof renovation.
Flanders
- When roof replacement is combined with insulation, an extra asbestos bonus may apply within the Flemish renovation framework.
- Certain target groups and collective programmes can also offer additional support for asbestos phase-out.
Wallonia and Brussels
- Here, financial support is more often tied to the new roof, insulation, or renovation financing rather than to a standalone asbestos premium.
Practical
- Always use a specialist contractor and proper waste handling.
- Where possible, combine removal with new roof insulation or roofing works to avoid duplicate site costs.
