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.
