Why Semlab
Asbestos analysis for you in Athens
The polykatoikia
Most Athenians live in a polykatoikia, the reinforced-concrete apartment block that shaped the city in the decades after the war. Many were built while asbestos-containing products were still in use. In these flats the materials worth checking before renovation are floor tiles and their adhesive, old false ceilings, and boards or pipes in shared spaces and on the roof.
Roofs, shafts and shared parts
The flat roofs of Athenian apartment blocks often carry water tanks, solar water heaters, small storage rooms and old fibre-cement sheeting. Shafts and service ducts run through the building. These parts belong to all the owners, so any work on them should be agreed with the building's administration. A laboratory result for the specific material helps everyone plan the work and choose the right contractor.
