Asbestos removal in Hirtshals
We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Hirtshals, and the waste goes to an approved facility.
In Hirtshals, asbestos typically turns up in the fibre-cement roofs of houses, garages and sheds in the residential areas between the town centre and the lighthouse, and in the older halls and workshops at the harbour.
Asbestos in Hirtshals homes
Hirtshals was laid out around the new harbour from 1919, so the town’s houses date from the last hundred years, and many were built in the decades when fibre cement was the standard roof. If your house 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 in ceilings and walls, in the tile adhesive and floors under old tiles and in pipe insulation on the heating pipes.
Fibre-cement sheets containing asbestos were made until 1988 and laid until around 1990. Asbestos in tile adhesive and floor glue disappeared around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation was mostly used before 1972, in places until around 1980. The building year gives a clue, but only an asbestos sample shows whether the material contains asbestos. Have it tested before you touch it.
Businesses in Hirtshals
The harbour is the town’s business life: fish processing and salmon factories, the fish auction, ice plants, ferry terminals and workshops. Halls and warehouses from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. We take commercial jobs in sealed-off zones so the rest of production can keep running, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
What does asbestos removal cost in Hirtshals?
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 Hirtshals
Another question? Email kontakt@verdan.dk
Can I remove asbestos myself in Hirtshals?
As a rule, no. Since 1 January 2025, taking down asbestos-containing material has required authorisation, in Hirtshals 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 Hirtshals?
Yes. We work in the town centre, the streets down to the harbour and the residential areas out towards the lighthouse, and across the rest of Hjørring Municipality, including Hjørring, Horne, Tversted and Lønstrup.
