Asbestos removal in Nykøbing Falster

In Nørrebro and Østerbro, built mainly in the 1920s and 30s, asbestos typically sits in later alterations. In the suburbs of Kraghave, Bangsebro, Øster Toreby and Sundby it is more often the fibre-cement roof on the house or garage.

Asbestos in Nykøbing Falster homes

In the 1900s Nykøbing grew beyond the medieval core around Torvet and Klosterkirken: Nørrebro to the north and Østerbro to the east, then Kraghave and Bangsebro between the wars, and after the war Øster Toreby, Nagelsti Brohuse and Sundby across Guldborg Sund. In the older houses it is the layers added later that need checking: tile adhesive and floors, boards in ceilings and walls and pipe insulation on the heating pipes. If your house or garage in the suburbs has a roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990, it may be an asbestos roof.

Fibre-cement sheets containing asbestos were produced 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 shows what your house contains, so have the material tested before you start.

Businesses in Nykøbing Falster

Much of the town’s business is in the industrial area in Nordbyen, with car dealers, workshops, paint shops and a builders’ merchant, and the shops are concentrated around Torvet and the pedestrian streets. Workshop, warehouse and shop buildings from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. On commercial jobs we clear one zone at a time so the workshop can keep working, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
