Asbestos removal in Horsens

In Horsens, asbestos typically turns up in the fibre-cement roofs, tile adhesive and floors of the 1960s and 70s houses in Torsvang, Torsted, Tyrsted and Bækkelund, and in pipes and ceilings when the older buildings around Søndergade are converted.

Asbestos in Horsens homes

Dagnæs and Bækkelund already had villa areas between the wars, Torsvang grew up in the 1960s, and after 1970 came a large housing programme to the south in Bækkelund, Dagnæs, Torsted and Tyrsted. If you have a house from those years and are getting a new bathroom or kitchen, the tile adhesive and floors and boards in ceilings and walls are what to have checked first. If the house, garage or carport has a roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990, it may be an asbestos roof. In the centre’s older blocks of flats and merchants’ houses, asbestos can also be in the pipe insulation on the heating pipes.

Fibre-cement sheets containing asbestos were produced until 1988 and laid on roofs 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 be found until around 1980. Only an asbestos sample shows what is in your house, so have the material tested before you tear anything out.

Businesses in Horsens

Horsens is a trading and industrial town with iron and metal, electronics, furniture, food and packaging industry, a growing transport sector and a large cluster of construction businesses. Most of it sits in the large industrial districts on the western and south-western edge of town and by the goods terminals at the harbour. Halls, warehouses and workshops from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. We take commercial jobs zone by zone so production can keep running, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
