Lead in paint — quantified
Identify lead-based coatings before they're disturbed.
Lead is toxic and historically used in paints applied to skirting boards, doors, door frames, stairs, bannisters, window frames, radiators and pipes — as well as in ceramics, solders, batteries and cosmetics. Exposure has been associated with developmental problems in children, anaemia, cardiovascular and kidney disease.
Our Lead Test Kit lets homeowners and building managers send paint or bulk material samples to our accredited laboratory. The interpreted report identifies whether lead is present and at what level — so you can manage the risk before disturbance.
Who is this for?
Homeowners planning renovation
Sanding or stripping pre-1992 paint without testing risks airborne lead — test first.
Landlords & letting agents
Older rental stock with original woodwork — verify before tenants with children move in.
Building managers
Protect workers and occupants during refurbishment of older buildings.
Surveyors & developers
Lab-grade evidence for refurbishment plans, risk registers and tender documents.
