Asbestos survey in Turku

In buildings completed before 1994, the presence of asbestos is likely in Turku too. In Finland, asbestos was used widely in construction from roughly the 1920s until 1992, so a large share of the older building stock in Turku and Southwest Finland belongs to that era. Asbestos may be concealed in floor tiles, waterproofing membranes, pipe insulation, fixing mortars and levelling compounds, among other places. Finnish Government Decree 798/2015 requires an asbestos survey to be commissioned before any renovation or demolition carried out on a property built before 1994. The survey is not a mere formality: it protects the people doing the work and the residents from health risks. A housing company or a detached-house owner in Turku should order the survey in good time before the project starts, so that the renovation proceeds safely and lawfully.

In Turku, the process has been made as effortless as possible. A competent and experienced surveyor arrives at the property in the Turku area at the agreed time, works through the building and identifies the materials that may contain asbestos. He takes the necessary samples from the suspect structures carefully and safely. 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 establishes whether the material contains asbestos and what type it is. Once the analysis is complete, you receive a clear written report in your email inbox without delay. The report tells you where asbestos was found and how the renovation or demolition should be carried out safely. In this way a customer in Turku gets the information needed to plan the project without any unnecessary waiting.

An AsbestiPro asbestos survey in Turku costs a fixed 219 euros incl. VAT. The price is clear and holds no surprises. It covers the survey visit to the property itself, all the samples required, the laboratory analysis at OneLab, the mileage allowance within Turku and the surrounding area, VAT and the finished written report. In other words, a single payment buys you the entire service from start to finish. On actual demolition sites, where the asbestos survey is more extensive, 100 euros is added to the price. If the job is a small one, or you prefer to handle the matter yourself, you can also order an asbestos sample for self-collected sampling at a price of 39,90 euros plus VAT. That option suits the checking of a single material, for instance. Customers in Turku can therefore choose the service that fits their needs, for detached houses and housing company projects alike.
