Asbestos removal in Nakskov

We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Nakskov, and the waste goes to an approved facility.

In the merchants’ houses around Axeltorv and Søndergade, asbestos typically sits in later alterations. In the workers’ housing and the suburbs along the main roads into town it is more often the fibre-cement roof on the house, garage or shed.

Asbestos in Nakskov homes

Nakskov is built in three layers: the medieval town, a belt of industry, institutions and housing on and around the old ramparts by Nørrevold, and the newer suburbs along the main roads into town with workers’ housing and detached houses. If your house or garage has a roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990, it may be an asbestos roof. In the older houses in town it is tile adhesive and floors, boards in ceilings and walls and pipe insulation on the heating pipes that need checking before you do the house up.

Fibre-cement sheets containing asbestos were made until 1988 and laid until around 1990. Tile adhesive and floor glue could contain asbestos until around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation is most common before the main ban in 1972, occasionally until around 1980. Only an asbestos sample decides whether there is asbestos in your material, so have it tested first.

Businesses in Nakskov

Nakskov is an old industrial town. Businesses sit around the industrial harbour, including on the former shipyard site, and in the industrial area on the town’s eastern edge. Production, warehouse and workshop buildings from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. We plan commercial jobs zone by zone so production can continue, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.

What does asbestos removal cost in Nakskov?

Removing an asbestos roof costs from DKK 365/m² incl. VAT (DKK 292/m² excl. VAT), depending on roof type and roof area. Notification, protective sheeting, removal and disposal are included, but the new roof is not. Indoor jobs in ceilings, floors and pipe insulation have no fixed per-m² price, because the scope of the job and the containment it needs set the price.

Indicative price – final quote after assessment. All per-m² prices exclude scaffolding, but we can put it up for you.

Besides roof type and roof area, access affects the price: how high the roof is, how close the buildings are, and whether there is room for scaffolding. If you have several buildings on the same plot, we include them in one quote.

How does asbestos removal work?

A worker in a white protective suit points up at the roof of a detached house while the homeowner looks on.
  1. Your details and sampling

    You tell us about the job. If anything is unclear, or you ask us to, we come out and look at it free of charge. If you are unsure about the material, we arrange an asbestos sample and laboratory analysis, so we know what needs removing.

  2. Fixed quote and notification

    You get a written quote with a fixed price and a plan. We notify the Working Environment Authority before we start, and we help with the municipality's waste notification.

  3. Sealing off and securing

    We cordon off the work area and put down protective sheeting around it. For indoor removal we work under negative pressure with an airlock, so asbestos fibres spread as little as possible to the rest of the building.

  4. Removal and packing

    We take the asbestos-containing materials down using methods that keep dust to a minimum, pack them in approved packaging and label them.

  5. Cleaning, clearance and disposal

    We clean the area, and after indoor work we only reopen it once it has passed a clearance check. The waste goes to an approved facility, and you get the documentation.

Questions about asbestos removal in Nakskov

Can an old merchant's house by Axeltorv contain asbestos?

Yes, even though the house itself is far older. Along Søndergade and Axeltorv stand two-storey half-timbered merchants' houses from the 1600s, but a newer roof, a bathroom or insulation on the heating pipes from before 1990 can contain asbestos. Have the materials tested before they come out.

Do you cover all of Lolland Municipality?

Yes. We work across Nakskov, from the core around Axeltorv to the suburbs and the industrial areas by the harbour and on the eastern edge. We also cover the bridge-connected parts of Lolland Municipality, including Maribo, Rødby and Søllested.
