Authorised asbestos removal in Humlebæk

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Humlebæk – from the houses along Strandvejen and around the old harbour, through the areas by the station, to Krogerup on the edge of town. Homeowners and businesses 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 Humlebæk

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs are the most common job in Humlebæk: corrugated sheets on 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 detached houses often ceiling boards and bathroom floors, in the older houses by the harbour pipe insulation in the basement. If you are unsure, we have the material tested before anyone touches it.

Asbestos in the houses of Humlebæk

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. Humlebæk is a railway town on the Coast Line with houses from many decades, and if your house still has its original fibre-cement roof or original floors, 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.
