Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Joensuu

Asbestos locations in the Joensuu building stock
The housing stock of Joensuu consists of apartment blocks in the centre, an extensive area of detached houses and 1970s-1980s buildings around the university. Asbestos is most typically found in floor adhesives, in the substrate of vinyl flooring, in tile adhesives and in pipe insulation. In wooden properties asbestos usually turns up only in later repair layers.
Postal transit and the day of the answer
The timing of the answer is in practice determined by the post, because the analysis is done on the day of arrival. From Joensuu a letter typically takes 1-2 business days, so the answer is in your email most often on the second or third business day after posting. There is no rush fee, and none is needed.
