Asbestos removal in Hornbæk

We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Hornbæk, and the waste goes to an approved facility.

In Hornbæk and Dronningmølle it is typically the fibre-cement roof on a summer house, year-round house or shed that has to come off, or the old boards in the ceilings and walls when a summer house is converted.

Asbestos in Hornbæk homes

Hornbæk is a seaside town with many summer houses, and it has grown together with Dronningmølle and Munkerup along the coast. In the summer houses, asbestos typically sits in boards in ceilings and walls and in roof sheets: corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990 may be an asbestos roof. In the year-round houses around the harbour and town centre it is more often the bathroom, where there may be asbestos in the tile adhesive and floors, and pipe insulation on old heating pipes.

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 was mostly used before 1972 but can turn up until around 1980. Only an asbestos sample shows whether a material contains asbestos, so have it tested before you start converting.

What does asbestos removal cost in Hornbæk?

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?

A worker in a white protective suit points up at the roof of a detached house while the homeowner looks on.
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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 Hornbæk

Can I remove asbestos myself in Hornbæk?

As a rule, no. Since 1 January 2025, taking down asbestos-containing material has required authorisation, in Hornbæk 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 Hornbæk and the surrounding area?

Yes. We work across Hornbæk, around the harbour, in the town centre and in the holiday-home areas, and in Dronningmølle and Munkerup. Hornbæk lies in Helsingør Municipality and Dronningmølle in Gribskov Municipality, and we cover both, including Hellebæk, Ålsgårde and Gilleleje.
