What are the dangers of leaving asbestos in your Blackpool property?
Although asbestos poses minimal risk when left alone and in good condition, it’s worth arranging an asbestos survey with DACT.
If ACMs are disturbed or damaged, they can release microscopic fibres into the air which remain airborne for several days.
Inhaling these tiny, invisible fibres can cause serious health conditions, such as:
- – Asbestosis – a chronic lung disease where the fibres get stuck in your lungs and remain forever, causing inflammation, scarring, and thickening of the lung tissue which can lead to breathing difficulties.
- – Mesothelioma – a rare and aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure, affecting the lining of the lungs, chest wall, or abdomen and causing chest pain, shortness of breath, and tiredness.
- – Lung cancer
- – Heart disease
- – Lung infections – like pneumonia
By booking an asbestos survey in Blackpool, our team can inspect your property for ACMs and take samples – vastly reducing the likelihood of building users developing asbestos-related conditions.
Asbestos testing Blackpool
DIY testing kits include everything you need to obtain samples and send them off for analysis, but improper handling techniques can release dangerous fibres into the atmosphere, increasing the risk of asbestos exposure.
Professional asbestos testing is generally the safest and most accurate way to confirm or deny the presence of asbestos.
DACT has been providing asbestos testing Blackpool-wide for over a decade and we’re fully equipped to collate samples without disturbing the fibres.
How does asbestos testing work?
The way asbestos testing works couldn’t be simpler.
One of our trained surveyors will visit your premises to sample suspect ACMs.
All samples will be sent for laboratory analysis to ensure the highest standards and results are guaranteed within 72 hours.
Our asbestos testing Blackpool service follows a five-step process which always starts with an initial consultation and ends with a detailed report.
- Consultation – We’ll have a chat about your asbestos-related concerns and learn more about your property (i.e. when it was built and the areas you suspect asbestos).
- Inspection – The next step is to arrange an asbestos survey for a time that suits you, so we can carry out a risk assessment and locate all potential ACMs on your premises.
- Sampling – With access to the latest tools and appropriate PPE, our specialists will take photographs and samples of any materials we suspect to contain asbestos.
- Analysis – All samples are sent directly to a UKAS-accredited laboratory where they will be processed within 24 hours of their arrival.
- Reporting – As soon as the results are back from the lab, we’ll devise a report to show our findings, including the type, condition, and quantity of asbestos found. Plus, our reports will include our expert recommendations for management or removal.

Who needs asbestos removal in Blackpool?
Asbestos was a popular building material before it was banned in the late 1990s.
Favoured for its strength and excellent resistance to heat and fire, it was used in insulation, roofing sheets, pipes, floor tiles, and more.
If your property was built before 2000, it’s highly likely that at least some part of it may still contain ACMs.
Luckily, DACT offers asbestos removal throughout Blackpool, accommodating the needs of:
- – Landlords and building owners
- – Property buyers
- – Property sellers
- – Property managers
- – Contractors
Our team can ensure legal compliance for property owners while allowing them to protect the health and safety of tenants.
By law, all property sellers must provide full disclosure if asbestos is present in their property. While this can hurt the sale and asking price, our removal service can help make it more appealing to prospective buyers. Plus, buyers get the peace of mind that their potential new abode is free from harmful materials.
Cost of asbestos removal in Blackpool with DACT
The exact price you’ll pay for asbestos removal in Blackpool can vary depending on the type, condition, and amount of asbestos present – all things that asbestos testing will reveal.
While all types of asbestos are deemed dangerous, some are more harmful (and expensive to remove) than others.
Take crocidolite (blue asbestos), for instance. This type of asbestos has fine fibres that are easily inhaled, whereas chrysolite (white asbestos) has soft, flexible fibres that are easier to breathe out.
If asbestos isn’t damaged or disturbed, it’s much easier and safer to remove. However, if the materials are in poor condition, additional safety measures and specialist tools will be required, increasing the overall cost of asbestos removal.
Similarly, if large amounts of asbestos are present in your property, it will take our specialists longer to remove them all – meaning you’ll be charged extra to cover the increased labour.
At DACT, we provide a tailored quote for every job and are confident that we offer the most competitive rates in all of Lancashire.

Asbestos Disposal Blackpool
Asbestos waste is hazardous and should only be handled and removed by a trained professional.
It’s not to be mixed with other types of waste, including household waste and should be double-bagged.
Although we specialise in asbestos testing and removal, we also ensure that ACMs are handled and disposed of safely.
When we remove the dangerous substance from your premises, we’ll carefully place them into sealed bags. Where possible, asbestos sheets are wrapped whole to prevent the spread of fibres.
Typically, we use our modern fleet of vehicles to transport the bagged asbestos waste to the disposal facility.
However, if a large volume of materials requires asbestos disposal in Blackpool, we can arrange for an enclosed skip to be delivered to your premises to help speed up the process without skimping on safety.
If you’d like to hear more about our asbestos disposal services, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
