Asbestos removal in Fredericia

In Fredericia, asbestos is typically found in the fibre-cement roofs of the detached houses in Erritsø, Sanddal and Snoghøj. In the old houses inside the ramparts it turns up in ceilings, floors and pipes from later alterations.

Asbestos in Fredericia homes

Inside the ramparts, the fortress town’s low blocks sit on a right-angled street grid, and 43 % of the properties in the centre are classed as worth preserving. The houses are far older than asbestos, but later alterations can have left it in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors or in pipe insulation on the heating pipes. After the war, Sanddal and Erritsø grew up as suburbs, and the town grew together with Erritsø and Snoghøj. Outside the ramparts it is mostly detached houses with social housing blocks in between. If your house has a roof of 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 was mostly used before 1972, in places until around 1980. Only an asbestos sample shows what a material contains, so have it tested before anyone touches it.

Businesses in Fredericia

The business district lies between the inner and outer ring roads, with the oil refinery, the brewery and the exhibition centre, and the large stores line Vejlevej. Then there is the port’s freight terminal. Production halls, warehouses and port buildings from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. On commercial jobs we take one zone at a time so operations can carry on, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
