Fibre Cement

Eternit sheets were long a popular roofing material on Swedish houses and holiday homes, as they were cheap, lightweight and durable. However, sheets manufactured before the 1980s almost always contain asbestos, and as they start to weather after decades of sun and frost, the risk of fibres being released increases. VOLUX helps you replace your asbestos cement roof in Stockholm safely. We remove the old sheets in line with current regulations, take care of the waste and install a new roof that will last for many years to come.

Not sure if your roof contains asbestos? We assess it on site and explain your options, with a free quote. We replace asbestos cement roofs all over Stockholm.

Replacing an asbestos cement roof, from removal to new roof

Replacing an asbestos cement roof requires more planning than a standard roof replacement, as the removal must be carried out in a way that protects you, your neighbours and our team. The job includes:

  • Assessment of the age and condition of the sheets
  • Safe removal of asbestos cement sheets
  • Handling and packaging of asbestos waste
  • Transport to an approved waste facility
  • Inspection and replacement of roof boarding and battens
  • New underlay
  • New roof in metal, concrete or clay tiles
  • Replacement of asbestos cement on facades and barge boards

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my roof needs replacing, or if a renovation is enough?

It is rarely possible to tell from the ground. Moss and the odd broken tile can usually be fixed, but if the underlay has become brittle or moisture has reached the roof boarding, a replacement is often the better long-term option. We’re happy to come out and assess your roof, and we’ll give you an honest answer about the most sensible way forward.

Can I get the ROT tax deduction when I hire you?

Yes, if you own the property and the work counts as repair, maintenance or renovation. This includes roof replacement, re-roofing and most repairs. The deduction applies to the labour cost and is deducted directly from the invoice. Housing associations (BRF), however, cannot use the ROT deduction for work on the association’s roof.

What warranty do you offer?

With a complete re-roofing, you receive a 30-year watertight roof warranty. For other types of work, the warranty is stated in the quote and the contract, so you know exactly what applies before the work begins. The manufacturers’ product warranties also apply to the materials we install.
