Authorised asbestos removal in Copenhagen

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Copenhagen – in the older apartment buildings of Indre By, Christianshavn, Østerbro and Nørrebro, in the residential districts of Vanløse, Brønshøj-Husum and Valby, and on Amager. Everyone gets the same procedure: an inspection, a fixed written quote and a removal that is notified to the Working Environment Authority before it starts.

What we remove in Copenhagen

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs still sit on garages, outbuildings and rear buildings around the districts. We take the sheets down whole, pack them and drive them to an approved receiver.

In the apartment buildings the job is more often indoors: asbestos-containing materials in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors in kitchens and bathrooms, and in pipe insulation around heating pipes in basements and stairwells. If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, we have it tested before anyone starts touching it.

Asbestos in the houses of Copenhagen

Buildings from 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. In the older apartment buildings it is often about what was done to the flats along the way: new bathrooms, new floors and suspended ceilings. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.

Businesses in Copenhagen

Shops around Strøget, hotels, offices and buildings in the inner districts get business jobs planned zone by zone so the rest of the building can stay in use meanwhile, and the documentation goes with the waste notification to the municipality.
