Asbestos survey in Nurmijärvi

An asbestos survey concerns practically every property built before 1994, since the use of asbestos in construction was not banned in Finland until then. Nurmijärvi's building stock includes a great many houses from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and asbestos may also be hiding in older properties reaching back to the 1920s. Typical asbestos-containing materials include floor tiles and the adhesives beneath them, pipe insulation, corrugated roofing sheets, tile adhesives and levelling compounds. Finnish Government Decree 798/2015 makes the survey a statutory obligation before demolition or renovation work in buildings constructed before the end of 1994. The survey protects the health of workers and residents alike, because asbestos fibres only become dangerous once the material is broken into. That is why it is worth commissioning the survey well before a renovation starts in Nurmijärvi.

An asbestos survey in Nurmijärvi begins with a competent surveyor arriving at the property at the agreed time. He goes through the building systematically and, on the basis of the renovation or demolition plan, identifies the materials that may contain asbestos. The surveyor takes the necessary samples from the suspect materials carefully and records their locations for the report. The samples are delivered to the OneLab laboratory, where they are analysed on a JEOL SEM-EDS electron microscope, a scanning electron instrument, in accordance with the ISO 22262-1 standard. This analysis reliably identifies the different types of asbestos even at low concentrations. Once the analysis is complete, you receive a clear written report in your email quickly. The report states which materials contained asbestos and in which parts of the property, so that the renovation or demolition work can be planned and carried out safely and lawfully.

AsbestiPro's asbestos survey in Nurmijärvi costs a fixed 199 € incl. VAT, so the cost is known in advance with no surprises. The price covers the surveyor's visit to the property, all the samples required, the laboratory analysis at OneLab, travel costs and the finished written report. At demolition sites, where a building is torn down in whole or in part, 100 € is added to the price because of the more comprehensive survey involved. If you would like to determine the asbestos content of a single material yourself, you can choose the analysis of an asbestos sample instead, at a price of 39,90 € plus VAT. In that case you take the sample yourself according to the instructions and send it to the laboratory for analysis. In most properties in Nurmijärvi, however, the full survey is the option worth choosing, since it satisfies the statutory requirements and gives a complete picture of the asbestos situation throughout the building before the work begins.
