Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Vaasa
In Vaasa, many detached and terraced houses were built between the 1950s and the 1980s, when asbestos was an everyday building material. You can detach a small piece of the suspect material yourself, pack it carefully and post the sample to Onelab - nobody needs to be called out to the site.

Why Onelab
A reliable laboratory throughout Finland
Coastal weather and facade materials
In the building stock of Vaasa the maritime climate has worn down facades, and facade renovations are common. Facade and roof sheets installed before 1994 often used asbestos cement, known in Finland as Minerit. In residential properties the most common locations are floor adhesives, fillers and bathroom waterproofing membranes.
Sampling a sheet material
From a sheet the sample is taken at the edge, which releases little dust. Dampen the surface lightly, detach a small piece and seal it in two tightly closed bags. Post the letter to our laboratory in Espoo; from Vaasa the letter typically arrives in 1-2 business days.
