Asbestos survey in Kirkkonummi

In Finland asbestos was used extensively in construction from the 1920s all the way up to 1994, when its use was finally banned. In practice, any property completed before 1994 may contain asbestos, for example in floor tiles, waterproofing, pipe insulation, tile adhesives or roofing panels. A considerable proportion of the residential buildings in the municipality of Kirkkonummi were built during precisely this high-risk era, and the typical building stock of Uusimaa follows the same pattern. Finnish Government Decree 798/2015 requires an asbestos survey to be commissioned before any demolition or repair work on a property built before 1994. The obligation is statutory, and work may not be started without a survey. The survey protects both workers and residents from exposure to asbestos fibres and ensures that the renovation proceeds safely and in compliance with the regulations.

An asbestos survey in Kirkkonummi begins with a competent and experienced surveyor arriving at the property as agreed. He goes through the building systematically, identifies the materials that may contain asbestos and takes the necessary samples from them. The sampling is done carefully, so that the spread of fibre dust is prevented. The samples taken are delivered to the OneLab laboratory, where they are analysed on a precise JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope, a scanning electron instrument, in accordance with the ISO 22262-1 standard. This analysis reliably detects even small concentrations of asbestos. Once the analysis is complete, you receive a clear written report in your email quickly. The report states which materials contained asbestos and provides the basis for planning the renovation or demolition work safely. The entire process has been designed to run smoothly, so that a customer in Kirkkonummi gets the information they need without needless delay.

The price of an asbestos survey in Kirkkonummi is a fixed 199 € incl. VAT. The price is clear and comprehensive, and no hidden costs arise. The package includes the surveyor's visit to the property, all the samples required, the laboratory analysis at the OneLab laboratory, travel costs, VAT and the finished written report. You therefore do not pay separately for the number of samples or for the journey; you get everything for one price. If the job is a demolition site that calls for a more extensive investigation, the additional charge is 100 €. If you would like to determine the asbestos content of a single material yourself, an affordable alternative is also available: you can take an asbestos sample and send it in for analysis at a price of 39,90 € plus VAT. In this way everyone in Kirkkonummi can find a suitable and cost-effective solution for investigating asbestos.
