Asbest Solutions

What Asbest Solutions does

Asbest Solutions is a Bodegraven, Zuid Holland-headquartered, founder-led asbestos inspection bureau operating nationwide in the Netherlands. The firm, owned by Michèl and Esther den Houdijker, specializes in certified asbestos inventory inspections (asbestinventarisaties) performed under the Dutch process certificate Asbestinventarisatie 07-D070050 issued via Normec — the regulatory baseline required to legally complete asbestos inventories in the Netherlands prior to renovation, demolition, sale, or permit applications. The service portfolio is unified around five offerings: standard asbestos inventories, a 24-hour Calamiteitenservice for emergency response after incidents such as fire or explosion, Chroom-6 (hexavalent chromium) investigations in older paints and coatings, end-to-end Projectbegeleiding for remediation and demolition, and independent Contra-expertise (second-opinion) reports for dispute resolution.

Underlying technology is methodology-based rather than software-based: certified inspectors conduct on-site visual assessments and material sampling, with samples sent to accredited laboratories for concentration analysis, producing legally compliant inventory reports. The firm serves both private individuals (homeowners, prospective buyers/sellers) and businesses across multiple verticals including offices, factories, housing cooperatives, farms, churches, schools, and recreational properties. Customer engagement is direct and consultative — incoming via website contact forms, a dedicated quote email ([email protected]), and a published mobile number (06-21551738) — with services priced per project based on building type, size, and complexity. With approximately 9 employees and no third-party distribution channels, the firm is a small, founder-operated professional-services business targeting the full Dutch market under a 'landelijk opererend' positioning, and its growth and scale metrics are not publicly disclosed.
