Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Lappeenranta
As a city on the shore of Lake Saimaa, Lappeenranta has plenty of apartment buildings from the 1960s and 1970s, and in their renovations you take the sample yourself and post it to us. Pack the detached piece tightly, write the accompanying note and drop the letter in the post - there is no need to wait for a surveyor in the yard.

Asbestos locations in the Lappeenranta building stock
The housing stock of Lappeenranta is dominated by 1960s-1970s apartment blocks and an extensive area of detached houses on the shores of Saimaa. The most common findings there are the adhesive under the floor tile and the substrate of the vinyl flooring, the wet room waterproofing membrane and the pipe insulation. In the older buildings of the garrison area, facade panels are common as well.
Keep the sample intact
Handle the detached piece carefully so that it does not crumble in transit. A double bag protects it and keeps any dust inside. If the sample falls apart, that does not prevent the analysis, but the layers of the structure show up more clearly in an intact piece.
