When is it needed?
When is an asbestos investigation necessary?
Before demolition work
The law requires an asbestos survey before demolition work in buildings constructed before 1994. Asbestos Act 684/2015.
Before renovation
Replacing coatings, fillers or floor coverings in older buildings requires asbestos to be investigated before the work starts.
In a property transaction
It is worth carrying out an asbestos survey before buying or selling a property, so that the risks are known and the price can be justified.
Types of investigation
A targeted analysis or a full survey?

For situations where you suspect one particular material. Take a sample from the suspect area and send it to the laboratory. It is the fastest and most affordable way to find out whether a single material contains asbestos.
