What that changes here
Farm roof structures are old, often altered and sometimes carrying more load than they were built for. We measure the actual sections and spans before any decision, especially if insulation or solar panels are being added.
Landen spreads out into open country on the edge of Haspengouw, twenty minutes from our head office in Tienen. Large farm roofs, long low outbuildings and a lot of corrugated sheets: along with Tienen it is the area where we remove the most asbestos.
What we get called out for in Landen
Landen is, along with Tienen, the area where we remove the most asbestos. Large farm roofs, long ranges of outbuildings and a lot of pre-2001 sheets: the enquiry generally comes when a property is being sold or when a barn changes use. Alongside that, the ordinary work on the village houses.

Common questions
Pour un devis, la visite à Landen se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Tienen, à 12 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Tienen ou Leuven, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; la charpente n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
A curative treatment carried out properly protects for about ten years. But the real protection is ventilation: a dry, ventilated loft interests neither insects nor fungi. So we put the ventilation right at the same time as the timber.
Four signs should raise the alarm: fine sawdust at the foot of the timbers, exit holes a few millimetres across, timber that sounds hollow under a hammer, and a smell of fungus in the loft. None of them is visible from the ground — which is why we always go up.
