Asbestos removal in Dragør
We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Dragør, and the waste goes to an approved facility.
In Dragør we find asbestos in two places: in the old houses by the harbour and Kongevejen, where the bathroom, floors or heating were redone in the 1960s, 70s or 80s, and in the roofs of houses and garages in the newer districts.
Asbestos in Dragør homes
The houses in the old town are far older than asbestos, but if yours got a new bathroom, new floors or new heating while the materials were still in use, asbestos can be found in tile adhesive and floors, in ceilings and walls or in pipe insulation around the heating pipes. In the tightly packed old houses we seal off the work area so the rest of the house is spared. In the districts by Sydstranden, Engparken and Krudttårnsvej and in Store Magleby it is more often the roof: if your house, garage or shed has corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990, it may be an asbestos roof.
Fibre-cement sheets containing asbestos were produced until 1988 and laid until around 1990, tile adhesive and floor glue could contain asbestos until around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation is most common before 1972 but is found until around 1980. Only an asbestos sample shows whether the material contains asbestos. Have it tested before you start.
Businesses in Dragør
The business area at A.P. Møllers Allé lies up against the airport, and the town centre has shops, clinics and restaurants from Kongevejen down to the harbour. In buildings from before 1990 there can be fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. We plan commercial jobs zone by zone so you can stay open, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
What does asbestos removal cost in Dragør?
Removing an asbestos roof costs from DKK 365/m² incl. VAT (DKK 292/m² excl. VAT), depending on roof type and roof area. Notification, protective sheeting, removal and disposal are included, but the new roof is not. Indoor jobs in ceilings, floors and pipe insulation have no fixed per-m² price, because the scope of the job and the containment it needs set the price.

Indicative price – final quote after assessment. All per-m² prices exclude scaffolding, but we can put it up for you.
Besides roof type and roof area, access affects the price: how high the roof is, how close the buildings are, and whether there is room for scaffolding. If you have several buildings on the same plot, we include them in one quote.

How does asbestos removal work?
-
Your details and sampling
You tell us about the job. If anything is unclear, or you ask us to, we come out and look at it free of charge. If you are unsure about the material, we arrange an asbestos sample and laboratory analysis, so we know what needs removing.
-
Fixed quote and notification
You get a written quote with a fixed price and a plan. We notify the Working Environment Authority before we start, and we help with the municipality's waste notification.
-
Sealing off and securing
We cordon off the work area and put down protective sheeting around it. For indoor removal we work under negative pressure with an airlock, so asbestos fibres spread as little as possible to the rest of the building.
-
Removal and packing
We take the asbestos-containing materials down using methods that keep dust to a minimum, pack them in approved packaging and label them.
-
Cleaning, clearance and disposal
We clean the area, and after indoor work we only reopen it once it has passed a clearance check. The waste goes to an approved facility, and you get the documentation.
Questions about asbestos removal in Dragør
Another question? Email kontakt@verdan.dk
Can I remove asbestos myself in Dragør?
As a rule, no. Since 1 January 2025, taking down asbestos-containing material has required authorisation, in Dragør as everywhere else. The exception is brief, small-scale work, such as 4–6 roof sheets around a single roof window. A whole roof or ceiling is not a small job, and you may not split a job up to get around the rule.
Can you get into the narrow streets of the old town?
Yes. In the old town it can be hard to get scaffolding and a vehicle all the way to the house. If we can't judge the access from your details, we come out free of charge to look at it, and you get a separate price for the scaffolding.
Do you cover all of Dragør and the surrounding area?
Yes. We work across the whole of Dragør Municipality: the old town and harbour, the districts by Sydstranden, Engparken and Krudttårnsvej, and Store Magleby.
