Authorised asbestos removal in Korsør

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Korsør – from the old town around Korsør Fæstning and the harbour to Halsskov north of the inlet, where the Great Belt Bridge comes ashore. Homeowners, housing associations and businesses get 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 Korsør

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs make up most of the work in Korsør: corrugated sheets on detached houses, garages and outbuildings that have to come down before a new roof can go on. We take the sheets down whole, pack them and drive them to an approved receiver.

Indoors we remove asbestos-containing materials in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors and in pipe insulation around old heating pipes. In the older houses of the old town it is often pipe insulation in the basement; in the detached houses it is ceilings and bathroom floors. If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, we have it tested before anyone starts touching it.

Asbestos in the houses of Korsør

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. That applies both to the older houses around the fortress and to detached houses from the 1960s, 70s and 80s with the original fibre-cement roof, whether they stand south or north of the inlet. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.
