Asbestos removal in Skagen

We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Skagen, and the waste goes to an approved facility.

Skagen’s yellow houses with white-edged tiled roofs are the town’s trademark, but garages, sheds and holiday homes may have roofs of corrugated fibre-cement sheets. Indoors, asbestos turns up when an older house gets a new bathroom or ceiling.

Asbestos in Skagen homes

If your house, garage, shed or holiday home has a roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990, it may be an asbestos roof. The yellow houses with tiled roofs can also contain asbestos if they were rebuilt before 1990: in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors in the bathroom or in pipe insulation on the heating pipes.

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 Skagen

Skagen Havn is Denmark’s largest fishing port, and around the quays are fish processing, fishmeal and fish-oil production and a shipyard. Halls, warehouses and workshop buildings from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing 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 Skagen?

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?

A worker in a white protective suit points up at the roof of a detached house while the homeowner looks on.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

Can I remove asbestos myself in Skagen?

As a rule, no. Since 1 January 2025, taking down asbestos-containing material has required authorisation, in Skagen 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 Skagen?

Yes. We work across the whole town, from the centre and the harbour to the holiday homes towards Grenen and south of the town towards Den Tilsandede Kirke, and across the bridge-connected parts of Frederikshavn Municipality, including Ålbæk, Sæby and Frederikshavn.
