Asbestos removal in Skanderborg

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

In Skanderborg, asbestos is typically found in the 1970s detached houses of Vrold and the hills east of the lake, and in the old town houses on Borgergade and along Adelgade when they are rebuilt.

Asbestos in Skanderborg homes

The old town runs along Adelgade from Slotsholmen by Skanderborg Sø north to Skanderup Kirke, and on Borgergade behind the old town hall stands a continuous row of single-storey town houses, several of them half-timbered. If they were rebuilt before 1990, asbestos can be found in ceilings and walls or in pipe insulation on the heating pipes. From the 1970s new districts spread west in Vrold and especially into the hills east of the lake. If your house from that time has a roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates, it may be an asbestos roof, and the bathroom can have asbestos in tile adhesive and floors.

Production of asbestos fibre-cement sheets stopped in 1988, and the last were laid around 1990. Tile adhesive and floor glue could contain asbestos until around 1980. Heating pipes were mostly insulated with asbestos before 1972, but it occurs until around 1980. Only an asbestos sample shows whether the material in your house contains asbestos, so have it tested before work starts.

Businesses in Skanderborg

The business area lies in the northern part of town, with firms in iron and metal, machinery and electronics, and many car dealers and garages. Halls and workshops from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. We take commercial jobs zone by zone so production can keep running, and you get the documentation for the municipality’s waste notification.

What does asbestos removal cost in Skanderborg?

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.
