Asbestos analysis for you in Barcelona
Eixample flats and later renovations
The grid of the Eixample is lined with 19th- and early 20th-century apartment buildings, and many of these large flats have been renovated several times since. Hydraulic tiles and original ceilings are often protected and kept, but the bathrooms, kitchens and false ceilings added in later decades can hide materials from the asbestos era. If you uncover an older layer under a recent floor, stop and have it tested before carrying on.
Roof terraces and shared installations
Flat roof terraces are part of everyday life in Barcelona, and many still have old fibre-cement water tanks, flues or small sheds. In the outer districts, apartment blocks from the 1960s and 1970s may also have fibre-cement downpipes and ventilation ducts. These are usually shared parts of the building, so speak to the community of owners before any work. A laboratory result gives everyone the same facts to decide on.
