Lead Paint Testing Laboratory UK: Lead in Paint Analysis
If you’re planning refurbishment, maintenance, or demolition in an older building, lead in paint testing is a simple step that can prevent serious health, programme, and compliance issues. Lead-based paint can still be present beneath newer coatings—especially on windows, doors, skirting boards, staircases, railings, and exterior paintwork. When disturbed by sanding, drilling, stripping, or demolition, it can release hazardous lead dust.
At The Testing Lab PLC, we provide laboratory-based lead paint analysis across the UK. Unlike basic screening kits, lab testing gives reliable, documented results you can use to support risk assessments, method statements, project planning, and duty-holder responsibilities.
