Authorised asbestos removal in Sorø

We carry out authorised asbestos removal across all of Sorø – from the old centre around the square, the Academy and the abbey church to the residential areas around it and out along Sorø Lake. 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 Sorø

Asbestos and fibre-cement roofs are the job we are asked about most often in Sorø: corrugated sheets on villas, 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 ceilings and walls, tile adhesive and floors and pipe insulation around old heating pipes – in the older houses of the centre often in basements, in the villas in ceilings and bathrooms. If you are unsure whether a material contains asbestos, we have it tested before anyone touches it.

Asbestos in the houses of Sorø

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. Sorø is a school and administration town with limited industry, and its homes range from old houses in the centre to villas from the decades before 1990, where the original fibre-cement roof and asbestos ceiling boards can still be in place. The year of construction is a hint, not an answer: only an asbestos test shows whether the material contains asbestos.
