Asbestos survey in Kangasala

Asbestos was used abundantly in Finnish construction from the 1920s all the way to 1992, and the ban only entered into force at the beginning of 1994. In practice, every property in Kangasala completed before 1994 may contain asbestos — in floor tiles, waterproofing membranes, pipe insulation, fixing mortars or facade panels, for example. The typical building stock of Pirkanmaa includes a great many houses dating from precisely this era. Finnish Government Decree 798/2015 requires an asbestos survey to be commissioned before demolition or renovation work on a property built before 1994. The survey is not a mere formality: it protects workers and residents from fibres that are hazardous to health. Without a survey, a contractor cannot start work lawfully, so it is worth getting it done well before the project begins.

The process has been designed to be smooth and effortless for the customer in Kangasala. Once you have placed your order, we agree on a time for the visit, and a competent surveyor arrives at the property anywhere in the Kangasala area. The surveyor examines the structures that matter for the renovation or demolition and takes the necessary material samples from the points where asbestos is most likely to occur. The samples are delivered to the OneLab laboratory, where they are analysed with a precise JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope in accordance with the ISO 22262-1 standard. This analysis reliably identifies even small concentrations of asbestos fibres. Once the analysis is complete, you receive a clear written report in your email inbox without delay. The report shows which structures asbestos was found in, and it can be used directly as the documentation that contractors and the authorities require as the basis for the renovation or demolition.

An AsbestiPro asbestos survey in Kangasala costs a fixed 219 € incl. VAT, and no surprise invoices follow afterwards. The price covers the surveyor's visit to the property, all the material samples required, the laboratory analysis at OneLab, the mileage allowance, VAT and the finished written report. A single clear all-in price makes budgeting easy while a renovation or demolition is being planned. On demolition sites involving entire buildings, where there is considerably more to survey and samples are needed on a wider scale, 100 € is added to the price. If you only want to establish the asbestos content of a single material, you can order an asbestos sample that you take yourself according to the instructions and send to the laboratory for analysis, at a price of 39,90 € plus VAT. That gives you a cost-effective alternative for smaller needs, with no surveyor visit involved.
