Asbestos Testing in St Helens and the North West
Do you suspect asbestos is in your home or business?
Exposure to asbestos fibres can harm the lungs, causing conditions such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma (a rare and aggressive type of cancer that often starts in the layers of tissue that cover each lung, also known as the pleura).
The only way to confirm definitively if a material in your property contains asbestos is to obtain and analyse a sample, which DACT Contractors can help with.

Asbestos audit with DACT
Although there are various asbestos test kits widely available, we would always recommend arranging an asbestos audit with our competent team.
An asbestos audit (also known as an asbestos survey) provides insight into the location, amount, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). It can be used to assess the level of deterioration of the ACMs and the need for remedial action.
Our competent surveyors, here at DACT, have extensive knowledge and experience when it comes to asbestos audits and will work methodically, using their skill and judgement to identify suspect asbestos materials before collecting samples for lab analysis.
When scheduling an asbestos audit, be aware that our contractors will not be able to conduct a thorough inspection of your building if it’s occupied and management surveys will be restricted.
Making sure your property is fully accessible will also prevent delays and additional costs which may apply if a return visit is required.

Tom and the guys put my mind at ease and handled everything quickly and professionally. I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to call them again or recommend them.
Fantastic Service!
I can’t recommend Dact enough! From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, their team was professional, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. We were really concerned about the asbestos in our old home, but they put our minds at ease and handled everything with great care. The entire process was explained to us in detail, and the job was completed on time. We feel much safer now, thanks to their excellent work.
Would Use Again!
Dealing with asbestos can be scary, but Tom made the process stress-free. Their team were punctual, professional, and provided us with a clear plan of action. They removed all the asbestos materials from our building efficiently and left the place spotless. We’re so glad we chose them for the job and would highly recommend their services to anyone needing asbestos removal.
