Asbestos removal in Hørsholm

In Hørsholm it is typically the fibre-cement roof on a villa, garage or shed in Vallerød, Smidstrup or Rungsted that has to come off, or pipes and floors in the older houses in Usserød when they are renovated.

Asbestos in Hørsholm homes

Usserød along Usserød Å is the old factory quarter, and in the older houses there asbestos typically sits in the pipe insulation on the heating pipes in the basement. In the villa areas it is more often boards in ceilings and walls and the tile adhesive and floors in the bathroom, and the roof: corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990 on a house, garage or carport may be an asbestos roof.

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. A building year doesn’t tell the whole story; only an asbestos sample shows whether asbestos is present. Have the material tested before you renovate.

Businesses in Hørsholm

The business area north-west of the town centre and the science park area on Agern Allé hold head offices, laboratories, consulting engineers and production, and the pedestrian street and Hørsholm Midtpunkt hold shops. The oldest buildings can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. We take commercial jobs one zone at a time so the rest of the building stays in use, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
