Authorised asbestos removal in Albertslund

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Albertslund – from the low-rise canal houses of Albertslund Syd, through Albertslund Centrum, to Herstedøster and Herstedvester on the edge of Vestskoven. The procedure is the same for homeowners and businesses: an inspection, a fixed written quote and notification to the Working Environment Authority before the work starts.

What we remove in Albertslund

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs on terraced houses, courtyard houses, garages and outbuildings are the job we are asked about most often in Albertslund. The sheets are taken down whole, packed and driven to an approved receiver.

Indoors we remove asbestos-containing materials in ceilings and walls, tile adhesive and floors and pipe insulation around old heating pipes. If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, we have it tested before anyone touches it.

Asbestos in the houses of Albertslund

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 contained asbestos until around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation sat on heating pipes until the ban in 1972. Albertslund was largely built in the 1960s and 70s, right in the years when those materials were in use. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.

Businesses in Albertslund

In Hersted, in the north of the municipality, lie 160 hectares of business district with production, warehouse and logistics companies, which is gradually being converted into a mixed district. Before an older commercial building is converted or demolished it has to be screened for asbestos, and asbestos-containing materials are removed first. Business jobs are planned zone by zone so operations can continue, and we help with the information for your waste notification to the municipality.
