Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Kerava
Kerava grew into a compact town along the railway, and many apartment blocks and terraced houses from the 1960s to the 1980s still hide asbestos. You can detach a small piece of the suspect material yourself and send it to our laboratory in an envelope - nobody needs to be called to the site.

Where to take the sample in a Kerava property
The housing stock of Kerava consists mainly of 1960s-1980s apartment blocks and terraced houses along the railway line. There the most common hiding places for asbestos are the adhesive under the floor tile and the substrate of the vinyl flooring, the wet room waterproofing membrane and the tile adhesive. In an apartment completed before 1994 these are the first sampling targets.
Several samples in one shipment
If the renovation concerns several structures, it pays to send several samples at once. Pack each one separately in two tightly sealed bags, number them and mark the structure. The answer itemises the results sample by sample. From Kerava the letter reaches our laboratory in Espoo usually the next business day.
