Asbestos removal in Grenaa

In Grenaa, asbestos is typically found in the fibre-cement roofs of the 1960s and 70s houses south and north of the centre, and in the old houses around Skt. Gertruds Kirke in ceilings, floors and pipes from later alterations.

Asbestos in Grenaa homes

The centre follows a medieval street plan around Skt. Gertruds Kirke, and 18th-century half-timbered buildings still stand in Søndergade. The town grew south and north above all in the 1960s and 70s. In Norddjurs Municipality, nine out of ten occupied detached houses and farmhouses were built before 1990, according to Statistics Denmark. If your house has a roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990, it may be an asbestos roof. In the older houses, an alteration can have left asbestos in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors or in pipe insulation.

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 fitted before 1972, in places until around 1980. Whether your house has any of it is settled by an asbestos sample, not the year. Have the material tested before anything is pulled down.

Businesses in Grenaa

The large industrial areas lie to the north at Bredstrup and Åstrup, where corrugated board, yeast, steel components and aircraft parts are made, and the harbour has a shipyard and a freight terminal. Production halls, warehouses and workshops from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing boards in ceilings and walls. We split commercial jobs into zones so operations can continue in the rest of the building, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
