Authorised asbestos removal in Smørumnedre

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Smørumnedre – from the detached-house areas around Smørum Centret, through the village of Smørumovre and the farms of Lille Smørum, to the workshops in Hassellunden. Smørum is first and foremost a residential town, and it is homeowners who call most often. The procedure is the same for everyone: an inspection, a fixed written quote and a removal that is notified to the Working Environment Authority before it starts.

What we remove in Smørumnedre

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs are the most common job in Smørumnedre: corrugated sheets on detached houses, carports and outbuildings, which we take down whole, pack and drive 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 detached houses often ceiling boards and bathroom floors. If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, we have it tested before anyone touches it.

Asbestos in the houses of Smørumnedre

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 contained asbestos until around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation sat on heating pipes until the ban in 1972. Smørumnedre grew from a village into a suburb in the 1960s and 70s, so many detached houses date from exactly those years, where the fibre-cement roof may be the original one; the new quarters at Kildedal Station were built long after the ban. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.
