How an asbestos removal runs. From site visit and sample to documented disposal.

  1. Site visit and sampling

    We look at the job, and if the material is in doubt we take a sample for laboratory analysis. Only then do we know what needs removing.

  2. Fixed quote and notification

    You get a written quote with a fixed price and a plan. The work is notified to the Working Environment Authority before we start, and we help with the municipality's waste notification.

  3. Sealing off and securing

    The area is sealed off and secured. For indoor removal we work under negative pressure with an airlock, so asbestos fibres do not spread to the rest of the building.

  4. Removal and packing

    Asbestos-containing materials are taken down without breaking or grinding, packed in approved packaging and labelled.

  5. Cleaning, control and disposal

    The area is cleaned, and for indoor work it is only released after a check. The waste goes to an approved facility, and you get the documentation.

What is asbestos, and why does it have to be removed? The fibres are dangerous when the material is disturbed.

Asbestos is a group of mineral fibres used in Danish building materials from the 1930s onwards: fibre-cement roofs, ceiling panels, tile adhesive, vinyl floors, filler and pipe insulation. The material is strong, fireproof and cheap, which is why asbestos-containing materials still sit in many buildings from before 1990.

The problem is not intact asbestos left in place. The problem is when asbestos-containing materials are drilled, sawn, broken or ground. That releases harmful asbestos fibres so small that they penetrate deep into the lungs and can cause asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma many years later.

That is why asbestos removal is not ordinary demolition work. Safe asbestos removal is a procedure: the job is planned and notified, the area is cordoned off, indoor rooms are put under negative pressure, the crew wears protective equipment, and the asbestos-containing materials leave the building packed, without turning into dust. That procedure is what makes an asbestos removal safe for you, your neighbours and the people doing the work. It is what we do.

Authorised asbestos removal – what the rules say. Authorisation mandatory since 1 January 2025.

Since 1 January 2025, demolition of asbestos-containing material in Denmark requires an authorisation: the responsible professional for the work must hold the authorisation for asbestos demolition. The exception is brief work of a minor nature, such as a few roof sheets around one roof window, and a larger job may not be split up to avoid the requirement.

Everyone who does asbestos work must also hold the mandatory occupational health and safety training, and the work must be notified to the Working Environment Authority before it starts. For indoor asbestos removal we work under negative pressure with an airlock so the fibres stay in the work area, and the waste is packed, labelled and taken to an approved facility. The safety lies in that procedure, not in a promise.

At Verdan, the responsible professional holds the authorisation for asbestos demolition, and everyone who does asbestos work for us holds the statutory training. So what you buy from us is authorised asbestos removal.

Where asbestos typically sits in the house. The four places to check before you renovate.

Fibre-cement roofs and roof sheets

Corrugated fibre cement and fibre-cement slate from before 1990 are the biggest job in Denmark. We take the sheets down whole, without pressure washing and without breaking them, and take them to an approved facility.

Ceilings and walls

Ceiling panels, wall panels and filler in homes and institutions from the 1950s to 80s. Removed indoors in a secured area under negative pressure with an airlock.

Floors, vinyl and tile adhesive

Tile adhesive and vinyl floors from before about 1980 can contain asbestos. The tiles have to come up without the adhesive turning into dust.

Pipe and technical insulation

Diatomite and asbestos-containing insulation on heating pipes in basements and plant rooms. Removed or encapsulated after an assessment of the material's condition.

What does asbestos removal cost? Indicative in two minutes, fixed quote after a site visit.

The price depends on the material, how much has to be removed, how it sits, the access to it and what has to be sealed off. An asbestos roof is priced per m² of roof area; indoor jobs such as tile adhesive, ceiling panels and pipe insulation are priced after a site visit, because containment and negative pressure decide the hours. The price overview at the top of the page shows what decides the price for each service.

Use the roof calculator for an indicative price including VAT, or send us the job and get a fixed quote in writing. The price in the quote is the price on the invoice, and the safety work, the disposal and the documentation are included. There is currently no grant scheme for removing asbestos roofs; the grants guide explains what the craftsman deduction covers and what has been proposed.

    The work is notified to the Working Environment Authority, the area is sealed off, and indoor jobs run under negative pressure with an airlock, so asbestos fibres stay where we work. The safety is in the procedure: cordoning, negative pressure, protective equipment and a clearance measurement by agreement.

Questions and answers

The usual questions before an agreement. More answers on the FAQ page.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

As a rule, no. Since 1 January 2025 demolition of asbestos-containing material in Denmark may only be carried out with an authorisation. The exception is brief demolition work of a minor nature. The Working Environment Authority's examples are 4–6 roof sheets for one roof window, a few tiles that break when you drill into them, and 1–2 pipe bends taken down whole. Even that must be handled without breaking, grinding or drilling the material, and a larger job may not be split into small ones to avoid authorisation. If in doubt, call before you touch it.

What does asbestos removal cost?

An asbestos roof costs from DKK 385/m² incl. VAT (DKK 308/m² excl. VAT), depending on roof type and roof area. Disposal is included in the price. Indoor jobs such as tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling panels are priced after a site visit, because the extent and the containment decide the price. Use the roof calculator on the pricing page for an indicative price, and get a fixed quote in writing after the visit. Indicative price – final quote after assessment.

Are you authorised to remove asbestos?

Yes. Verdan's responsible professional holds the authorisation for demolition of asbestos-containing material, and everyone who does asbestos work for us holds the mandatory occupational health and safety training. What you buy from us is authorised asbestos removal.

Does the work have to be notified to the authorities?

Yes. Asbestos work is notified to the Danish Working Environment Authority before it starts, and we handle that. The notification is part of the quote, not something you arrange yourself. If the work affects more than 10 m² or produces more than 1 tonne of waste, you as the building owner must also notify the building waste to your municipality; that is a separate notification, and we help with the figures.

How do I know if there is asbestos in my house?

It cannot be seen with the naked eye. Buildings from before 1990 may have asbestos in fibre-cement roofs, tile adhesive, vinyl floors, ceiling panels, pipe insulation and filler. The only reliable method is a sample analysed by a laboratory. We take the sample and send you the report before you decide anything.
