Asbestos removal in Hedensted

In Hedensted, asbestos is typically found in the fibre-cement roofs of the 1960s and 70s villas around the old centre, and in tile adhesive and ceilings when those houses get a new bathroom or kitchen.

Asbestos in Hedensted homes

Like many railway towns, Hedensted was built out in the 1960s and 70s with large villa areas around the original centre, and the town has grown together with Løsning. Across Hedensted Municipality, three out of four occupied detached houses and farmhouses were built before 1990, and more date from the 1970s than from any other decade, according to Statistics Denmark. If your villa, garage or shed has a roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990, it may be an asbestos roof. Inside the house, asbestos can be found 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 is most common before 1972 but can be found until around 1980. The age of the house tells you where to look, but only an asbestos sample gives the answer. Have the material tested before you start renovating.

Businesses in Hedensted

The industrial quarters lie south and west of the town, and Hedensted and Løsning produce metal packaging, ventilation systems and concrete elements, among other things. Halls and workshops from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing boards. We plan commercial jobs zone by zone so production can carry on, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
