Authorised asbestos removal in Roskilde

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Roskilde – from the older buildings in the city centre around the cathedral, past the harbour on the fjord, to Musicon and the residential areas out towards RUC. Homeowners, housing associations and businesses get the same procedure: an inspection, a fixed written quote and a removal that is notified to the Working Environment Authority before it starts.

What we remove in Roskilde

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs are the job we are asked about most often in Roskilde: corrugated sheets on villas, garages and outbuildings. We take the sheets down whole, pack them and drive them to an approved receiver.

Indoors we remove ceilings and walls, tile adhesive and floors and pipe insulation around old heating pipes. If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, we have it tested before anyone touches it.

Asbestos in the houses of Roskilde

Houses built before 1990 can contain asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos fibre-cement sheets were produced until 1988 and laid until around 1990, tile adhesive and floor glue were mixed with asbestos until around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation sat on heating pipes until the ban in 1972. Roskilde has homes from many periods, from the buildings in the centre to villas and terraced houses from the decades before 1990. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.

Businesses in Roskilde

Roskilde is the trading town for a large surrounding area, with shops in the pedestrian streets and RO’s Torv and workshops and studios at Musicon. Business jobs are planned zone by zone so operations can continue in the rest of the building, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.
