Why Semlab
Asbestos analysis for you in Valletta
Limestone buildings with modern additions
Valletta's buildings are built of local limestone, and much of the city was repaired and rebuilt after wartime bomb damage. The stone itself is not the concern. What matters are the materials added during the 20th century: floor tiles and adhesives, boards, roof installations and pipes. If you are restoring a townhouse or a flat, test anything you plan to remove that may date from that period.
Roofs and water tanks
Flat roofs are used all over Malta for water tanks, laundry and small rooms. Some older tanks, pipes and sheets on roofs may be made of asbestos cement. Do not break or cut them to find out. Take a small piece without creating dust, or have a specialist do it, seal it in two bags and send it to us for analysis.
