Asbestos removal in Frederiksværk

We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Frederiksværk, and the waste goes to an approved facility.

In Frederiksværk, we typically find asbestos in the fibre-cement roofs of houses and sheds between Arresø and Roskilde Fjord, and in the older houses around the canal and Torvet when they are altered.

Asbestos in Frederiksværk homes

The town grew up around the canal from Arresø to Roskilde Fjord and the works beside it, and the oldest houses still stand around the canal, Torvet and Gjethuset. These houses are older than asbestos, but a later alteration can have left it in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors or in pipe insulation. If your house, garage or shed 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 made 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 seen in places until around 1980. The building year gives a clue, and an asbestos sample gives the answer. Have the material tested before anyone touches it.

Businesses in Frederiksværk

Frederiksværk was founded as an industrial town, and a steel rolling mill still operates at the harbour, with halls, workshops and warehouses around it. Industrial buildings from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. We plan commercial jobs zone by zone so production can carry on, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.

What does asbestos removal cost in Frederiksværk?

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?

A worker in a white protective suit points up at the roof of a detached house while the homeowner looks on.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Frederiksværk

Can I remove asbestos myself in Frederiksværk?

As a rule, no. Since 1 January 2025, taking down asbestos-containing material has required authorisation, in Frederiksværk 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.

Do you cover all of Frederiksværk?

Yes. We work across the whole town, from the canal, Torvet and Gjethuset to the residential areas between Arresø and Roskilde Fjord and the harbour. We also cover the rest of Halsnæs Municipality, including Hundested.
