Authorised asbestos removal in Hvidovre

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Hvidovre – in the residential areas of Hvidovre, Avedøre and Friheden, in the old barracks buildings of Avedørelejren and in the halls of Avedøre Holme out by the coast. The procedure is the same for homeowners and businesses: an inspection, a fixed written quote and notification to the Working Environment Authority before the work starts.

What we remove in Hvidovre

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs on houses, terraced houses, garages and outbuildings are the job we are asked about most often in Hvidovre. The sheets are taken down whole, packed and driven to an approved receiver.

Indoors we remove asbestos-containing materials in ceilings and walls, tile adhesive and floors and pipe insulation around old heating pipes. If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, we have it tested before anyone touches it.

Asbestos in the houses of Hvidovre

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 contained asbestos until around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation sat on heating pipes until the ban in 1972. That applies in Hvidovre as everywhere else. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.

Businesses in Hvidovre

Avedøre Holme is Denmark’s largest business district, laid out from the late 1950s, with several hundred companies in warehousing, transport, production and trades. Before an older commercial building is converted or demolished it has to be screened for asbestos, and asbestos-containing materials are removed first. Business jobs are planned zone by zone so operations can continue, and we help with the information for your waste notification to the municipality.
