Asbestos removal in Svendborg
We remove asbestos roofs, tile adhesive, pipe insulation and ceiling boards across Svendborg, and the waste goes to an approved facility.
In Svendborg, asbestos is typically found in the detached houses on the high ground west, north and east of the centre, and in the old town on the hill in whatever was added during renovations.
Asbestos in Svendborg homes
In the 1960s the town gained new residential areas, and today detached houses cover the high ground around the centre, here and there with low-rise blocks and terraces, all the way out to the old villages of Tved and Kogtved. 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. In the old town with its narrow, winding streets around Vor Frue Kirke, a newer bathroom, a converted basement or a new ceiling can contain asbestos in tile adhesive and floors, in ceilings and walls or as pipe insulation.
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 mostly from before 1972, occasionally until around 1980. Age gives a clue, but only an asbestos sample shows whether asbestos is present. Have the material tested before anyone touches it.
Businesses in Svendborg
Besides the old business areas by the harbour, Svendborg gained an industrial quarter to the north-west in the 1960s, and along Ring Nord between Fåborgvej and Nyborgvej there are several large business areas. Halls, workshops and warehouses from before 1990 can have fibre-cement roofs and asbestos-containing ceiling boards. We take commercial jobs in contained zones so the workshop or warehouse can keep working, and you get the paperwork for the municipality’s waste notification.
What does asbestos removal cost in Svendborg?
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Many are old. In Svendborg Municipality 27% of homes were built before 1920, against 18% nationally, and 38% date from 1960–89. A house from before 1920 typically got any asbestos through later renovations, while a house from 1960–89 may have had it from the start.
