Calculate asbestos roof disposal costs

Disposing of asbestos roofing in Denmark requires professional handling and compliance with strict regulations from the Danish Working Environment Authority (Arbejdstilsynet). Asbestos is classified as hazardous waste and may only be removed by certified companies.

What does it cost to remove an asbestos roof?

The total price depends on the roof size, distance to an approved landfill, and whether the roof contains other harmful substances. Demolition typically costs 80-150 DKK/mยฒ, while disposal costs 30-80 DKK/mยฒ. Transport and municipal notification fees are added on top.

Rules for asbestos disposal

Before work begins, it must be reported to the municipality at least 14 days in advance. The work must be carried out by a company with asbestos training, and there are requirements for personal protective equipment, cordoning off, and keeping the material moist during demolition.
