Asbestos removal in Odense
We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Odense, and the waste goes to an approved facility.
In Odense, asbestos typically turns up in the 1960s and 70s detached houses of Tarup, Bellinge and Dyrup and in the terraced houses of Snestrup when a roof, bathroom or ceiling is replaced.
Asbestos in Odense homes
The building boom of the 1960s and 70s produced the large detached-house areas of Tarup and Bellinge, Dyrup grew in the 1960s, and Snestrup has several hundred terraced houses from the same decade. If your house has a roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990, it may be an asbestos roof, and the bathroom can have asbestos in tile adhesive and floors. The oldest homes are in and near the centre: low blocks of flats around Overgade, dense townhouses in Oluf Bagers Gade, two-storey houses from industrialisation in Vesterbro and large old villas by Langelinie and in Hunderup. If they were rebuilt before 1990, asbestos can be found in ceilings and walls or in pipe insulation on the heating pipes.
Production of asbestos fibre-cement sheets stopped in 1988, and the last were laid around 1990. Tile adhesive and floor glue could contain asbestos until around 1980. Heating pipes were mostly insulated with asbestos before 1972, but it occurs until around 1980. Only an asbestos sample shows whether the material in your house contains asbestos, so have it tested before work starts.
Businesses in Odense
The business areas lie along Odense Canal and the railway in Nordøst, in the large business districts of Sydøst and in Tietgenbyen just outside the city, and the market gardens are in Stige and the far north of Nordvest. Halls, warehouses, workshops and greenhouse buildings from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing boards. On commercial jobs we screen off one zone at a time so the rest of the building stays in use, and you get the paperwork for the municipality’s waste notification.
What does asbestos removal cost in Odense?
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.
