What are the dangers of leaving asbestos in your Cheshire property?
If left alone, asbestos generally poses minimal risk to human health – but if it’s disturbed or damaged, it can release microscopic fibres into the air.
When inhaled, these fibres can get trapped in the lungs and remain there forever. As they accumulate, they can go on to cause scarring and inflammation.
Prolonged asbestos exposure can cause asbestosis, a serious lung condition that affects breathing and can lead to other serious health conditions, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and pulmonary heart disease. Asbestosis can also increase your risk of developing lung infections, such as pneumonia.
If you suspect asbestos is in your property in Cheshire, the best thing to do is arrange an asbestos survey with DACT.
We’ll carry out a thorough inspection of your premises and identify possible asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
Asbestos testing Cheshire
Asbestos testing is the safest way to confirm or deny the presence of asbestos.
While DIY testing kits are widely available and contain everything you need to obtain samples and send them for laboratory analysis, asbestos testing is best left to the professionals.
The team at DACT has been providing asbestos testing in Cheshire and beyond for over a decade and is fully equipped to take samples without releasing harmful fibres.
Suspected ACMs are placed into sealed bags and sent for professional analysis at our UKAS-accredited laboratory, where they’ll be examined closely by our technicians. Then a decision will be made based on their observations.
How does asbestos testing work?
At DACT, our asbestos testing service in Cheshire follows a five-step process, starting with a quick chat over the phone and ending with a comprehensive report outlining our findings and expert recommendations.
- Consultation – If you’re worried about asbestos in your home or office building, our friendly team will discuss your concerns in detail.
- Inspection – We’ll schedule a convenient time to visit your premises, perform a risk assessment, locate all possible ACMs, and take samples where necessary.
- Sampling – Our specialists will come to your site and take photographs of suspected ACMs, sending samples to the laboratory to confirm the type, condition, and amount of asbestos in your property. During this process, they’ll have access to the latest tools and personal protective equipment (PPE) to keep everyone safe.
- Analysis – The samples taken will be processed within 24 hours of their arrival at our UKAS-accredited laboratory and the results will be issued within 72 hours, if not sooner.
- Reporting – To conclude our asbestos testing service, we’ll provide a detailed report that includes details about the type, quantity, and condition of each sample. It will also include advice on managing asbestos effectively, either through remedial work or professional removal.

Who needs asbestos removal in Cheshire?
Asbestos was a popular building material found in everything from roofing tiles and flooring to insulation and boilers until it was banned in the late 1990s.
Many properties built before 2000 may still contain ACMs, which is why we offer asbestos removal throughout Cheshire for:
- Contactors
- Landlords

Cost of asbestos removal in Cheshire with DACT
When it comes to asbestos removal, we provide a prompt and professional service for all customers and offer the most competitive rates throughout Cheshire.
The exact price of our removal services can vary depending on various factors, including the type and amount of asbestos found.
For instance, if there is a large quantity of ACMs in your home or business, it will take our team longer to remove them, meaning the costs will be higher.
Similarly, if the asbestos is friable (easily crumbles), we’ll require specialist tools and additional safety measures to minimise the risk of exposure, which will increase the overall price.
When we quote for asbestos removal jobs, we also assess how accessible your property is. Premises that are unoccupied and easy to access allow our professionals to work faster – saving on labour costs.
For a clear idea of how much you can expect to pay for asbestos removal, we can discuss your requirements in full and arrange a site survey before offering a free, no-obligation quote.
