Asbestos removal in Sorø

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

In Sorø, asbestos is typically found in the fibre-cement roofs of the houses outside the old centre, and in the older houses between the Academy, the abbey church and the lake in whatever was added during later renovations.

Asbestos in Sorø homes

The town lies on the north-eastern shore of Sorø Sø, with the old centre around the Academy and the abbey church. A house there can be far older than asbestos, but if it has been renovated, asbestos can still be found in ceilings and walls, in tile adhesive and floors in a bathroom from the 1960s or 70s, or as pipe insulation on the heating pipes in the basement. Outside the centre it is typically the roof: if your house, garage or outbuilding has a roof of corrugated sheets or fibre-cement slates from before 1990, it may be an asbestos roof.

Fibre-cement sheets containing asbestos were produced until 1988 and laid until around 1990. Tile adhesive and floor glue could contain asbestos until around 1980, and asbestos pipe insulation is mainly from before 1972, sometimes until around 1980. Only an asbestos sample shows whether your material contains asbestos, so have it tested first.

What does asbestos removal cost in Sorø?

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 Sorø?

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

Yes. We work across all of Sorø, from the centre by the Academy and the abbey church to the residential areas around the town, and across the rest of Sorø Municipality.
