Authorised asbestos removal in Hirtshals

Authorised asbestos removal in Hirtshals: fibre-cement roofs, ceiling boards, tile adhesive and pipe insulation in town and harbour. Fixed quote after an inspection.

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Hirtshals – from the centre and the streets down to the harbour to the residential areas out towards the lighthouse on the headland. Homeowners and businesses get the same procedure: an inspection, a fixed written quote and a removal that is notified to the Working Environment Authority before it starts.

What we remove in Hirtshals

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs are the most common job in Hirtshals: corrugated sheets on detached houses and outbuildings that have to come down before a new roof. We take the sheets down whole, pack them and drive them to an approved receiver.

Indoors we remove asbestos-containing materials in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors and in pipe insulation. If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, we have it tested before anyone starts touching it.

Asbestos in the houses of Hirtshals

Houses built before 1990 can contain asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos fibre-cement sheets were produced until 1988 and laid until around 1990, tile adhesive and floor glue were mixed with asbestos until around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation sat on heating pipes until the ban in 1972. Hirtshals was laid out around the harbour from 1919 and is a young town, but a house from the 1960s, 70s or 80s can still have its original fibre-cement roof. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.

Businesses in Hirtshals

The harbour is the town’s business life: fish processing and salmon plants, ice works, ferry terminals, freight forwarders and workshops. In buildings from before 1990, fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards are still common. Business jobs are planned zone by zone so operations can continue, and the documentation goes with your waste notification to the municipality.

What does asbestos removal cost in Hirtshals?

An asbestos roof costs from DKK 385/m² incl. VAT (DKK 308/m² excl. VAT), depending on roof type and roof area. Notification, enclosure, removal and disposal are included; scaffolding and the new roof are not. Indoor jobs in ceilings, floors and pipe insulation are priced after an inspection, because the extent and the enclosure decide the price.

On farms and in the open detached-house areas it is the roof's area and type that decide the price, and several buildings on the same plot go into one quote. In Aalborg's dense streets, scaffolding can add to it.

Indicative price – final quote after assessment.

How an asbestos removal runs. From site visit and sample to documented disposal.

  1. Site visit and sampling

    We look at the job, and if the material is in doubt we take a sample for laboratory analysis. Only then do we know what needs removing.

  2. Fixed quote and notification

    You get a written quote with a fixed price and a plan. The work is notified to the Working Environment Authority before we start, and we help with the municipality's waste notification.

  3. Sealing off and securing

    The area is sealed off and secured. For indoor removal we work under negative pressure with an airlock, so asbestos fibres do not spread to the rest of the building.

  4. Removal and packing

    Asbestos-containing materials are taken down without breaking or grinding, packed in approved packaging and labelled.

  5. Cleaning, control and disposal

    The area is cleaned, and for indoor work it is only released after a check. The waste goes to an approved facility, and you get the documentation.

Can I remove asbestos myself in Hirtshals?

As a rule, no. Since 1 January 2025 the demolition of asbestos-containing material may only be carried out with an authorisation, and that applies in Hirtshals as everywhere else. The exemption is short, minor work, such as 4–6 roof sheets around a single roof window. A whole roof or a ceiling is never a minor job.
