What are the dangers of leaving asbestos in your Bolton building?
If left alone, asbestos generally poses minimal threat to human health. However, if suspected ACMs are disturbed or damaged, they can release fibres into the air.
Although microscopic, these fibres can cause serious harm when inhaled.
Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease that’s caused by inhaling asbestos fibres which get trapped in the lungs and remain there forever. As they accumulate, they cause scarring, inflammation, and breathing difficulty. Sadly, there is no cure for asbestosis and the damage to the lungs is permanent.
Another condition linked to asbestos exposure is mesothelioma. This is a type of cancer that usually starts in the layers of tissue that cover each lung (the pleura). Common symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue – but, unfortunately, because mesothelioma is often found when it’s advanced, it can be hard to treat.
If you think asbestos may be present in your property, you must avoid touching it. Instead, take full advantage of our asbestos survey Bolton service.
We’ll perform a thorough inspection to check for ACMs on your premises and take samples where necessary.

Asbestos testing Bolton
DIY testing kits have soared in popularity in recent years – providing you with everything you need to obtain samples and send them off for analysis.
However, professional asbestos testing is the safest and most effective way to confirm or deny the presence of asbestos.
We leave no stone unturned and inspect your property from top to bottom. Plus, our specialists can advise on the best way to manage asbestos, ensuring the fibres aren’t disturbed and spread, or we can take care of its removal and disposal.
How does asbestos testing work?
DACT specialises in asbestos testing Bolton-wide.
We can send one of our trained surveyors to your premises in Greater Manchester, fully equipped to sample suspect materials for asbestos analysis at our UKAS-accredited laboratory.
Our asbestos testing service typically follows a five-step process, starting with a consultation and ending with a comprehensive report that outlines our findings and expert recommendations.
- Consultation – We’ll discuss your asbestos-related concerns and ask you a few questions about your property.
- Inspection – Our friendly team will arrange a convenient time to attend your site so we can perform a thorough risk assessment and locate all possible ACMs.
- Sampling – As we inspect your property, we’ll obtain samples of suspected asbestos materials and seal areas off to prevent fibres from spreading further. These samples will then be sent to the laboratory for careful examination under a microscope.
- Analysis – The samples are usually processed within 24 hours of them arriving at the laboratory and our expert technicians will verify the type, condition, and amount of asbestos present in your home or business.
- Reporting – As soon as the results return from the lab, we’ll share them with you in a comprehensive report. This will include images from the survey, details of the ACMs found, and our team’s suggestions on how to manage or remove them safely.

Who needs asbestos removal in Bolton?
Asbestos removal is essential to protect the health and safety of construction workers and the general public from the dangers of asbestos exposure.
Here are just a few examples of the clients who can benefit from our asbestos removal service:
- Property owners and landlords – By law, building owners must manage asbestos-containing materials in their buildings.
- Construction teams – When renovating or demolishing, constructors could disturb ACMs, which is why they should be identified and removed before building work commences.
- Property managers – The person or organisation responsible for a building’s maintenance should ensure the safe removal of asbestos materials.
- Property sellers – If homeowners intend on selling a property with asbestos, full disclosure is essential. Asbestos removal will make the property more appealing to prospective buyers.

Cost of asbestos removal in Bolton with DACT
The exact price of our asbestos removal service in Bolton can vary based on numerous factors, including the type, condition, and amount of asbestos found, as well as the complexity of the job and accessibility of your property.
Although non-friable asbestos is potentially dangerous to human health, friable asbestos easily crumbles, increasing the risk of airborne fibres being released when it’s handled.
If friable asbestos is present, our removal team will need to use more advanced safety features and specialist tools to minimise potential exposure, which will increase costs.
Similarly, if there are a lot of ACMs in your home or business, it will likely take our team longer to remove them all – costing you more in labour.
At DACT, we pride ourselves on offering the most competitive rates for asbestos removal in Bolton and Greater Manchester.

Asbestos disposal Bolton
Equally as important as asbestos testing and removal is asbestos disposal.
When you enlist the expertise of DACT for asbestos disposal in Bolton, you can trust that we’ll carefully place the ACMs into sealed bags, helping to minimise the spread of harmful fibres.
Asbestos materials are to be disposed of separately from general waste, which is why we’ll transport the bagged asbestos waste to the nearest disposal facility with our modern fleet of vehicles.
However, if we uncover more asbestos materials than we can fit in our van, we’ll arrange for an enclosed skip to be delivered to your premises – saving money on fuel and countless trips to and from the Environmental Agency-registered transfer centre.
