Asbestos removal in Ribe
We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Ribe, and the waste goes to an approved facility.
In Ribe, asbestos is typically found in the houses outside the old centre: the villas on Tangevej, the terraced houses on Seminarievej and the post-war homes of Tangekvarteret and Nørremarken.
Asbestos in Ribe homes
The centre around Domkirkepladsen has kept its medieval street plan and half-timbered houses dating back to the 1400s, but the town grew beyond it. Around 1900 the well-off built villas on Sct. Laurentii Gade, Albert Skeels Gade and Kurveholmen. In the 1920s and 30s the villa quarter east of the station along Tangevej followed, and in 1943 Ribe Boligforening built small terraced houses on Seminarievej. If the older houses were rebuilt before 1990, asbestos can be found in ceilings and walls or in pipe insulation on the heating pipes. In the post-war houses of Tangekvarteret and Nørremarken east of Plantagevej, the roof may be an asbestos roof, and the bathroom can have asbestos in tile adhesive and floors.
Asbestos fibre-cement sheets were made until 1988 and laid until around 1990, tile adhesive and floor glue with asbestos were used until around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation mostly dates from before 1972, in a few cases from as late as around 1980. Only an asbestos sample shows whether a material contains asbestos, so have it tested before you demolish or drill.
Businesses in Ribe
The industrial quarter lies west of the town between the railway and the main road, and the business area has been extended around Ole Rømers Vej north of Koldingvej. Warehouses and workshops from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. We split commercial jobs so only one zone is closed off at a time, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
What does asbestos removal cost in Ribe?
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 Ribe

My house is in Tangekvarteret in Ribe. Can there be asbestos?
There can. After the war, housing associations and cheap municipal plots made room for detached, semi-detached and terraced houses, and by around 1960 Tangekvarteret was fully built. Houses from those years can have fibre-cement roofs, tile adhesive and pipe insulation containing asbestos, even if they have been modernised since. Only a sample of the material shows whether your house has it.
Do you cover all of Ribe?
Yes. We work across the whole town: the old centre around Domkirkepladsen, the villa streets by Tangevej and Seminarievej, Tangekvarteret, Nørremarken and Bjerreskovparken. We also cover Øster Vedsted and Lustrup and the bridge-connected parts of Esbjerg Municipality, including Bramming.
