Asbestos testing for Rowsham properties
If you’ve already disturbed a material during DIY in Rowsham, stop and keep people away from it. A test will show whether it contains asbestos. We often deal with floor tiles, textured ceilings and panels behind heaters, and people typically contact us about soffits and porch canopies before replacement and debris found after DIY.
Village homes in towns and villages like Rowsham often mix old and newer materials, so testing each one is the only way to be sure. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.
