Asbestos removal in Nivå
We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Nivå, and the waste goes to an approved facility.
Nivå grew together with Niverød in the 1970s, and in houses from that time it is typically the fibre-cement roof, the tile adhesive and the floors that need checking. The same goes for garages and sheds around the station.
Asbestos in Nivå homes
Nivå is a railway town on the Coast Line, and many of its houses were built in the 1970s, when the town and Niverød grew together, while asbestos roof sheets were still being laid. If your house or garage still has its original roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates, it may be an asbestos roof. If the kitchen or bathroom in a house from that time is being redone, have the tile adhesive and floors, the boards in ceilings and walls and the pipe insulation on the heating pipes checked first.
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, but can be found until around 1980. The building year gives a clue, but only an asbestos sample shows whether the material contains asbestos. Have it tested before you start.
What does asbestos removal cost in Nivå?
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 Nivå
Another question? Email kontakt@verdan.dk
Can I remove asbestos myself in Nivå?
As a rule, no. Since 1 January 2025, taking down asbestos-containing material has required authorisation, in Nivå as everywhere else. The exception is brief, small-scale work, such as 4–6 roof sheets around a single roof window. A whole roof or ceiling is not a small job, and you may not split a job up to get around the rule.
Do you cover all of Nivå?
Yes. We work across the whole town, around the station, in Niverød and out towards Nivå Havn. We also cover the rest of Fredensborg Municipality, including Kokkedal, Humlebæk and Fredensborg.
