Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Hyvinkää
Hyvinkää has plenty of apartment blocks and terraced houses from the 1960s to the 1980s whose surface materials may hide asbestos. You can detach a small piece of the suspect material yourself and post it to us for analysis - no separate site visit is needed. That way you prepare the renovation at your own pace.

Special features of the Hyvinkää building stock
The building stock of Hyvinkää includes industrial and workers' housing that grew up around the railway engineering works, along with 1960s-1980s apartment blocks and terraced houses. In the industrial properties asbestos appears especially in pipe and boiler insulation, in the residential ones in floor adhesives, fillers and tile adhesives. In pipe insulation the sample is best taken from the inner layer of the insulation.
Sampling pipe insulation
The sample is taken from the inner layer of the insulation, not from the surface paper. Dampen the spot lightly, cut a small piece with a knife and seal it in a bag immediately. Cover the opened spot with tape or plastic so the insulation does not keep releasing dust into the room air after sampling.
