Why is it dangerous to leave asbestos in your Southport property?
If asbestos materials are intact and left alone, they pose very little risk to human health. Only when they are damaged or disturbed do they release harmful fibres into the air.
Breathing in these tiny fibres can cause lung cancer, asbestosis (where the heart enlarges and makes breathing difficult), and mesothelioma (a cancer affecting the lining of the lungs). By the time these conditions are diagnosed, they’re almost always fatal.
Therefore, if you have a sneaking suspicion that asbestos is present in your home or business, having an asbestos survey will reveal whether the ACMs can be managed or if you require asbestos removal in Southport.
Asbestos testing Southport
The safest way to verify the presence or absence of asbestos in your property is to enlist the expertise of asbestos testing specialists like us at DACT Contractors.

How does asbestos testing in Southport work?
Asbestos testing is where samples of suspect asbestos-containing materials are taken and sent off for laboratory analysis.
The process involves:
- Inspection – Our team will carry out a visual inspection and risk assessment of the areas in a building that are suspected to contain ACMs. This includes checking for airborne fibres.
- Sampling – We have the tools and knowledge to collect samples without spreading asbestos – guaranteeing accurate results and ensuring safety.
- Analysis – The samples obtained are examined at our accredited laboratory to identify the type and condition of asbestos. We offer quick turnaround times with the results generally being available within a few days.
- Reporting – After analysis, we’ll compile an unambiguous report including details about the asbestos and advice on how to manage or remove the asbestos.

Who needs asbestos removal in Southport?
Asbestos was a popular building material before it was banned in 1999, found in everything from insulation and boilers to flooring and roofing.
As such, it’s highly likely that homes and offices built before the 21st century contain this harmful material.
At DACT, we provide asbestos removal to accommodate the needs of:
- Landlords
Our expert removalists can help landlords minimise exposure to escaping asbestos fibres, ensuring the safety of their tenants and eliminating the risk of legal disputes later on.
- Property owners
If you own or occupy a property with ACMs and have plans to renovate, you’re legally obliged to notify the contractors. If the asbestos is damaged or at risk of being disturbed by the work, removal is the safest option.
- Property sellers and buyers
Selling your home? Full disclosure is essential if you’re selling a house with asbestos materials. However, asbestos removal in Southport can help make your property more appealing to prospective buyers. And with the assurance that the property is free from asbestos, buyers are more likely to submit an offer.
- Contractors
At DACT, we also offer our services to contractors who contact us on behalf of homeowners, landlords, and business owners.
If you require asbestos removal, don’t hesitate to get in touch and discuss your requirements with our friendly team.
Cost of asbestos removal in Southport with DACT
As much as we’d love to be able to give you an exact figure for asbestos removal in Southport, the truth is that it can vary depending on the type, amount, and condition of the asbestos found.
For instance, if there is a large volume of asbestos in your home, it will take our team longer to remove it – increasing the overall price.
Typically found in loft insulation, damaged ceiling and wall tiles, spray paints, and pipe lagging, friable asbestos is a type of asbestos that easily crumbles and releases toxic fibres into the atmosphere. Friable asbestos removal will require more stringent safety measures, resulting in higher costs.
Other factors that influence the price of asbestos removal services include the accessibility of your site and the complexity of the job.
For a clear idea of how much you can expect to pay for our local asbestos removal services, you’ll need to book a free consultation with DACT.
