Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Turku
In Turku, a university and harbour city, many renovators want certainty before the work starts. You can detach a small piece of the suspect material yourself and post it straight to our laboratory - a small piece in an envelope from Turku is enough, and no separate visit is needed. This suits the densely built blocks of Southwest Finland well.
This is how it works

Which structure in Turku to sample
The building stock of Turku is exceptionally layered: around the medieval core lie 19th-century wooden house blocks, post-war masonry buildings and 1970s suburbs. In wooden properties asbestos usually appears only in later repair layers - in floor coverings and bathroom waterproofing membranes. In prefabricated blocks, floor adhesives and tile adhesives are the most common.
Numbering several samples
If you send several samples, number the bags 1, 2, 3 and write on the accompanying note what each number refers to. The answer itemises the results using the same numbers, so the risk of confusion disappears. Without numbering it is hard to match the results of several samples to the right structure.
