About our asbestos testing in Rowledge
Sampling is done carefully: the material is damped, a small piece removed, sealed in a bag and the sample point sealed. That is safer than breaking off a piece yourself. From garage roofs before replacement and panels behind old heaters, we deal with textured ceilings, black adhesive and soffit boards and more.
Rural properties near Rowledge may have materials of very different ages, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.
