Authorised asbestos removal in Hornbæk

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Hornbæk – from the houses around the harbour and the town centre, through the holiday-home areas and Hornbæk Plantage, to Dronningmølle and Munkerup, which have grown together with the town along the coast. Holiday-home owners and year-round residents get the same procedure: an inspection, a fixed written quote and notification to the Working Environment Authority before the work starts.

What we remove in Hornbæk

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs are the most common job in Hornbæk: corrugated sheets on holiday homes, year-round houses, garages and outbuildings that have to come down before a new roof can go on. The sheets come down whole, are packed and driven to an approved receiver.

Indoors we remove asbestos-containing materials in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors and in pipe insulation – in the holiday homes often ceiling and wall boards, in the year-round houses bathroom floors. If you are unsure, we have the material tested before anyone touches it.

Asbestos in the houses of Hornbæk

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. Hornbæk is a seaside town with many holiday homes, and if your holiday home or year-round house still has its original fibre-cement roof or the original boards in the ceiling, it is worth having them examined before you renovate. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.
