Why is it dangerous to leave asbestos in your Manchester property?
If left alone, asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) pose little threat to human health.
However, if such materials are damaged or disturbed, they can release microscopic fibres into the atmosphere.
These fibres are difficult to see, feel, and smell, but they can remain airborne for several days – increasing your risk of exposure.
When inhaled, they can cause serious health conditions, including but not limited to:
– Lung cancer
– Asbestosis (where the heart enlarges and makes breathing difficult)
– Mesothelioma (a type of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs)
If you think your home or work area may contain this harmful substance, please refrain from touching it or attempting to remove it yourself.
Instead, arrange an asbestos survey in Manchester with the team at DACT. We’ll perform a thorough inspection of your property and check for potential ACMs, taking samples where necessary.
If our survey confirms the presence of asbestos, we can advise on the best action to take (i.e. management, removal, disposal, etc.).
Asbestos testing Manchester
Although DIY test kits are widely available online, asbestos testing is generally a job best left to the professionals.
For example, improper handling during sampling can release toxic fibres into the air, exposing you and others to potential health risks.
Similarly, a DIY kit doesn’t offer the same level of precision or accuracy when identifying asbestos-containing materials, leading to inaccurate results.
Luckily, at DACT, we have extensive knowledge and experience in asbestos testing in Manchester.
Our experts leave no stone unturned when checking for airborne fibres. We’re fully equipped with the necessary technology and equipment to collect samples without disturbing or spreading the fibres and we minimise exposure by sealing areas off and spraying water.
How does asbestos testing work?
Here’s what you can expect when you enlist the professional team at DACT for asbestos testing:
- Consultation – We’ll discuss your asbestos-related concerns in full before arranging a convenient time to visit your property.
- Inspection – Our experts will arrive promptly and carry out a thorough inspection to locate all ACMs on your premises.
- Sampling – Using the latest tools and equipped with the appropriate PPE, we’ll safely obtain samples of suspect materials and bag them up, ready to be sent for analysis at our UKAS-accredited laboratory.
- Analysis – At the laboratory, the samples will be tested to confirm or deny the presence of asbestos. The results are guaranteed within 72 hours, but we’ll do everything we can to get these back sooner.
- Reporting – We’ll provide a detailed report and outline the type, quantity, and condition of each sample. Images will also be included along with our expert recommendations to manage asbestos through remedial work or safely remove dangerous materials.
If you have any questions about the asbestos testing process, don’t hesitate to reach out to our local team.

Who needs asbestos removal in Manchester?
Before it was banned in 1999, asbestos was a popular building material, used for insulation, roof sheets, and flooring.
Homes and businesses built before 2000 are more likely to contain this harmful substance than newer properties.
At DACT, we offer asbestos removal throughout Manchester for:
- Landlords – Our experts can help landlords protect the health of their tenants whilst avoiding legal repercussions.
- Property owners – Home and business owners planning renovation or demolition work often contact DACT to remove asbestos materials before contractors start work.
- Property buyers and sellers – Anyone selling a property with ACMs must inform potential buyers. Whilst this can impact the sale, our removalists can rid your home or business of asbestos – giving buyers peace of mind the property is safe and increasing your chances of selling.
- Contractors – At DACT, we often provide our removal services to contractors who are responsible for asbestos to ensure work is carried out safely.

Cost of asbestos removal in Manchester with DACT
Here at DACT, we’d love to offer an exact price for our asbestos removal services near you – but it can vary depending on the type and amount of asbestos present.
For example, if there is a large quantity of asbestos materials in your home, it will take our experts longer to remove it, increasing the overall cost.
Similarly, if the asbestos is friable (crumbling), it’s more likely to release dangerous fibres into the air – calling upon the need for more stringent safety measures, which can also increase the price.
We also take into account the accessibility of your site for asbestos removals in Manchester. Our team can get to work sooner when the premises are vacated and will rid your home of asbestos faster, costing you less.
