Asbestos. Lead. Radon. PCB.
Most buildings built before 1990 contain substances that can make you ill.

Before purchasing a property (especially built before 1990), before renovation or demolition work, or if you have health concerns — such as unusual smells, unexplained symptoms, or if you know that materials like fibre-cement sheets have been used.

No, and that is a deliberate choice. We work with accredited partner laboratories (ISO/IEC 17025) that specialise in the respective analysis. The value we add lies in the professional sampling, selection of the right analyses and clear interpretation of the results. We also bring a portable XRF device that delivers results in seconds for heavy metal screening.

The site-inspection flat fee is €290 (flat, regardless of scope). Laboratory analyses are charged per sample: asbestos from €69, lead in water €19, lead in material €49, MMF from €69. Situational services (radon, VOC, PCB, PAH, wood preservatives) receive a transparent quote after the free initial consultation.

During renovation work, fibres, particulate matter and volatile compounds can be released. Our sensors monitor air quality continuously, so problems are identified immediately — not days later in the laboratory.

Laboratory analysis takes 3–10 working days depending on the pollutant. Long-term radon measurements require at least 3 months. Our report follows within 3 working days of receiving the laboratory results. XRF screening results are available directly on site.

Portable X-ray fluorescence analysis (pXRF) is a non-destructive method for determining the elemental composition of materials in seconds directly on site. This allows heavy metals such as lead, chromium, arsenic or cadmium to be identified immediately — without sending samples to a laboratory.

Remediation is always more expensive than testing. A measurement from €69 per sample gives you clarity — before a suspicion becomes an expensive surprise. Whether it then costs €500 (gaskets) or €10,000+ (roof) depends on the material and scope.

A negative result also has value: you have documented certainty that your building is safe — and a strong negotiating position when purchasing. The report serves as evidence for buyers, tenants or authorities.
