Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Rauma
The damp conditions of a seaside town and the detached houses of the 1960s to the 1980s that are common in Rauma often hide asbestos in tiling and insulation. Detach a piece of the material yourself, pack it tightly and post it to us - from anywhere in Rauma, with no appointment needed.

The repair layers of Old Rauma
In the wooden houses of Old Rauma asbestos is typically found only in repairs made during the 1950s-1980s: in floor coverings, bathroom waterproofing membranes and pipe insulation. In the newer suburbs and in the industrial housing stock, floor adhesives and tile adhesives are the most common. Take the sample from exactly the layer being demolished.
Sampling and labelling
Mark on the bag which layer and which room the sample was taken from - in an old floor several coverings from different decades may lie on top of one another. Seal the sample in two tightly closed bags and post the letter to our laboratory in Espoo. From Rauma the letter typically arrives the next business day.
