Authorised asbestos removal in Sæby

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Sæby, from the old market-town houses in Algade, Strandgade and around Klostertorvet, through the detached-house areas, to the holiday homes along the beach north and south of town. Homeowners, holiday-home owners and landlords 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 Sæby

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs are the job we are asked about most often in Sæby: corrugated sheets on detached houses, holiday homes, garages and outbuildings that have to come down before a new roof can go on. We take the sheets down whole, pack them and drive them to an approved receiver.

Indoors we remove asbestos-containing materials in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors and in pipe insulation around old heating pipes. In the old town centre it is often pipe insulation and ceiling boards; in the detached houses ceilings and bathroom floors. If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, we have it tested before anyone starts touching it.

Asbestos in the houses of Sæby

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. That applies to the older houses of the market town, the detached-house areas from the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and the holiday homes by the coast where the fibre-cement roof has often sat untouched since the house was built. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.
