What are the dangers of leaving asbestos in your Wigan property?
Asbestos was a common building material until it was banned in 1999, so it’s highly likely that buildings built before 2000 will contain the substance.
If left undisturbed, asbestos materials generally pose very little risk.
However, if they are damaged or deteriorating, they can release fibres into the atmosphere. When these microscopic fibres are inhaled, they can lead to serious health conditions, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
Given the dangerous nature of ACMs, if you suspect asbestos is present in your home or business, you must avoid touching it.
Instead, contact our asbestos removal Wigan team and arrange a convenient time for our experts to visit your property.
Asbestos Testing Wigan
Worried your home or business might contain asbestos?
DACT Contractors have been offering asbestos testing Wigan-wide for many years.
Whether you’re based in the town centre or on the outskirts of Atherton, Lowton, or Orrell, we have local asbestos surveyors ready to help you confirm the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
How does asbestos testing in Wigan work?
At DACT, our asbestos survey service is performed by a qualified professional equipped with the latest tools and technology.
Every survey starts with an initial walkthrough and ends with a detailed report and our expert recommendations for removal or remedial work.
- Walkthrough – After getting in touch with us, our team will schedule a convenient time to visit your property, where we’ll identify potential obstructions, check the validity of your plans, and perform a risk assessment.
- Inspection – Once the initial assessment is complete, our experienced surveyor will work methodically – room-by-room, floor-by-floor. Looking at the ceilings, walls, and floors, they’ll use their finely honed skills to identify suspect asbestos-containing materials.
- Sampling – Although we’ll make a note of any suspect materials and take photographs to include in the report, samples will be taken and sent off for laboratory analysis. This will confirm the type and condition of asbestos-containing materials.
- Reporting – As soon as we get the results back from the lab, we’ll compile a detailed report that’s easily digestible. If asbestos is present, the report will specify the type, quantity, location, and condition of each sample, along with images and any other notes.
- Recommendations – Whilst the report will provide everything you need to create an asbestos management plan to minimise the risk of exposure to occupants, visitors, and contractors, our surveyor will gladly offer their recommendations and costings for removal or remediation.

Who needs asbestos removal in Wigan?
DACT provides asbestos removal services to residential and commercial clients throughout Wigan.
From landlords and homeowners to property buyers, sellers, and contractors, we advise anyone who owns a property built before 2000 to arrange an asbestos survey. This material was used in everything from the insulation to floor tiles and roofs.
Our asbestos removalist experts will help landlords ensure the safety of their tenants by reducing the risk of exposure to escaping fibres. Likewise, if you’re planning any renovation or demolition work that may disturb asbestos-containing materials, having our team safely remove them will protect your contractors.
All property sellers are legally required to disclose the presence of asbestos, which can have a huge impact on the sale. However, DACT can remove it to give would-be buyers the peace of mind that the property is free from asbestos and safe to live or work in, increasing their chances of making an offer.

Cost of asbestos removal in Wigan with DACT
How much you’ll pay for asbestos removal in Wigan can vary depending on numerous factors, including:
- Job size – the amount of ACMs that need to be removed. Larger volumes of asbestos typically take longer to remove, adding to the overall cost.
- Asbestos type – the type of asbestos and its condition. White asbestos (Chrysolite) is the most common type whereas blue asbestos (Crocidolite) is rare and the most hazardous.
- Location – the location of your property. Asbestos removal in Wigan and the North West region is usually cheaper than the same service in London and the South East, for example.
- Complexity – the extent of asbestos contamination. More complex cases require more time, specialist equipment, and extra pairs of hands, which increases the cost.
