Authorised asbestos removal in Aalborg

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Aalborg – from the older buildings in the city centre and Vestbyen, through the detached-house areas, to Aalborg Øst, where the university, NOVI and the new university hospital sit. Homeowners, housing associations and businesses get the same procedure: an inspection, a fixed written quote and a removal that is notified to the Working Environment Authority before it starts.

What we remove in Aalborg

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs are the job we are asked about most often in Aalborg: corrugated sheets on detached houses, garages and outbuildings that have to come down before a new roof can go on. We take the sheets down whole, pack them and drive them to an approved receiver.

Indoors we remove asbestos-containing materials in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors and in pipe insulation around old heating pipes. In the older buildings of the city centre it is often pipe insulation in basements and ceiling boards in stairwells; in the detached houses it is ceilings and bathroom floors. If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, we have it tested before anyone starts touching it.

Asbestos in the houses of Aalborg

Houses built before 1990 can contain asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos fibre-cement sheets were produced until 1988 and laid until around 1990, tile adhesive and floor glue were mixed with asbestos until around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation sat on heating pipes until the ban in 1972. That affects many of Aalborg’s homes: the older buildings in the city centre and Vestbyen with their original heating pipes in the basement, and the detached-house areas from the 1960s, 70s and 80s with the original fibre-cement roof. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.

Businesses in Aalborg

At Østhavnen, in the industrial park and around Rørdal stand warehouse, production and workshop buildings where fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards are still common. Business jobs are planned zone by zone so operations can continue in the rest of the building, and the documentation goes with your waste notification to the municipality.
