Christopher John Bastow

What this record tells you

Christopher John Bastow holds Florida licence MRSA3412, a MRSA classification which authorises work as a licensed mold assessor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 2020, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 44% of the 142 active mold inspection licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 6 years of continuous licensure.

Christopher John Bastow is one of 34 active mold inspection licences registered to an address in St Petersburg, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Christopher John Bastow additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 07/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
