Asbestos removal in Roskilde
We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Roskilde, and the waste goes to an approved facility.
In Roskilde, asbestos typically turns up when the older buildings in the centre around the cathedral and the pedestrian streets are rebuilt, and in the fibre-cement roofs of villas, garages and sheds from before 1990.
Asbestos in Roskilde homes
The centre around the cathedral and the pedestrian streets has buildings from many periods. If they were rebuilt before 1990, asbestos can be found in ceilings and walls or in pipe insulation on the heating pipes in the basement. If your house, garage or shed has a roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990, it may be an asbestos roof, and if the bathroom is being redone, have the tile adhesive and floors checked before the tiles come off.
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 Roskilde
Roskilde is the shopping town for a large hinterland, with shops in the pedestrian streets and at RO’s Torv, and at Musicon, on the former concrete factory site, workshops and studios sit side by side with homes. Shop, warehouse and workshop buildings from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. We plan commercial jobs in stages so the rest of the building stays in use, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
What does asbestos removal cost in Roskilde?
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 Roskilde
Another question? Email kontakt@verdan.dk
Can I remove asbestos myself in Roskilde?
As a rule, no. Since 1 January 2025, taking down asbestos-containing material has required authorisation, in Roskilde 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 Roskilde?
Yes. We work across the whole town, from the centre around the cathedral and the harbour on the fjord to Musicon and the areas towards RUC, and across the rest of Roskilde Municipality, including Jyllinge, Viby Sjælland and Gundsømagle.
