What our asbestos survey service covers
From homes to warehouses, offices to schools, we inspect all types of buildings to determine the presence, condition, and extent of asbestos. Our service includes:
- A full visual inspection of accessible areas
- Identifying suspect materials and areas of risk
- Taking small samples where necessary
- Reporting the type, condition, and location of ACMs
- Clear recommendations for management, encapsulation, or removal
Our goal is to provide you with the accurate information you need to act, safely and confidently.
Domestic Asbestos Survey Process
Asbestos was widely used as a building material before 1999, and many buildings still contain ACMs.
The only way to determine if asbestos is present in a building is to have an asbestos survey carried out, which includes a detailed report.
Here’s what to expect from a survey:
Quick inspection – After contacting DACT Contractors, we’ll arrange a suitable time and date to come to your property and assess the situation. Before we start the survey, our qualified surveyor will inspect your building and compile an on-site risk assessment.
Check for asbestos – Our team will perform thorough testing of your property to ensure there are no hidden asbestos or airborne fibres present. We leave no stone unturned and will assess every accessible area of your building – taking samples where necessary.
Report on our findings – If our surveyor spots any potential asbestos-containing materials, they’ll detail the type, condition, and extent of their presence. Photographs will also be included in the report to help you visualise the location of the ACMs.
Recommendations – The report will include our expert’s recommendations for remedial work to ensure the safety of your building and its occupants. As well as providing asbestos surveys in St Helens and throughout the UK, DACT Contractors also specialise in asbestos testing, asbestos removal, and asbestos disposal.
Who Needs an Asbestos Survey?
We typically recommend asbestos surveys for the following people, to protect them from exposure:
- Property buyers – Having an asbestos survey carried out before purchasing a property will highlight the presence of asbestos and could be used to negotiate a better price.
- Property sellers – The presence of asbestos can negatively impact a property’s market value. Having an asbestos survey will allow you to be prepared and proceed with your sale with confidence.
- Facilities managers – Arranging an asbestos survey will protect the health and safety of staff and occupants alike within your commerical buildings. It will also help to make informed decisions during maintenance, refurbishment, or demolition and eliminate legal and financial repercussions.
- Public building owners – From hospitals to offices as well as the management of asbestos in schools, areas with high footfall need to be checked for ACMs. Shared spaces in houses and apartments, such as hallways and stairwells, also need surveying to ensure all occupants are protected.
- Landlords – As a landlord, it’s your duty to protect tenants and having an asbestos survey will allow you to identify and manage any asbestos-containing materials. A survey will ensure you provide full disclosure to renters.
Asbestos Survey Cost with DACT
The price you’ll pay for an asbestos survey can vary depending on numerous factors, including:
- Property size – Asbestos survey costs are calculated on the time it takes to carry out the inspection, meaning a larger property is bound to take longer and, therefore, costs more than a smaller property.
- Property age – Properties built in the 1960s or ’70s (before asbestos was banned) will require more extensive surveys, whereas fewer samples will need to be taken from newer properties, costing less.
- Accessibility – If there are any access limitations or unsafe structures, a risk assessment will be necessary and additional equipment may be required – increasing the time it takes to conduct the survey and, in turn, bumping up the price.

When should you schedule an asbestos survey?
It’s sensible to conduct a survey when:
Your property was built before 2000 (especially before regulations changed)
You’re planning refurbishment, demolition, or repair work
You’ve bought or plan to sell a property
You see materials that look old, cracked, or damaged
You’re unsure whether past works disturbed hidden asbestos
Delaying a survey or acting on guesswork can lead to serious risks and legal liabilities.

Same-day Asbestos Survey
If you’re unsure if any asbestos exists in your building or you’re keen to locate it, scheduling an asbestos survey is ideal.
At DACT Contractors, we can assure you that, after surveying your premises, we’ll devise a detailed report to outline our findings. This can take anywhere up to 72 hours, but we specialise in asbestos testing and can often inform you of the presence or absence of asbestos the very same day samples are taken.
If ACMs are found in your home or business, we can advise whether asbestos removal or disposal is necessary – ensuring it’s removed or disposed of safely.
FAQs

How often should an asbestos survey be done?
Do you offer asbestos survey and removal services?
Yes – as well as providing asbestos surveys, we also provide asbestos removal services in St Helens and beyond.
As part of our asbestos survey, we’ll carry out a risk assessment to ensure minimal risks and send off samples of potential asbestos-containing materials to be tested at the lab. Results are generally back within 72 hours and will confirm the type and condition of the asbestos.
If the asbestos is in good condition and not likely to be disturbed, it’s usually safe to leave it where it is – but you will need to manage it carefully and have a reinspection survey in 12 months.
If it is badly damaged already or cannot be protected, our team can arrange a time and date that suits you and remove the ACMs safely and efficiently.
