Why Lead Testing Matters
Lead is a toxic metal that can cause serious health problems if exposure occurs. In particular, young children and pregnant people face higher risk. Lead exposure can affect development, learning, and long-term wellbeing.
Although modern regulations limit lead use, many older properties still contain lead in paint, dust, water systems, or soil. Therefore, Lead Testing plays a vital role in identifying hidden risks before they cause harm.
Moreover, testing helps you make informed decisions. Whether you plan renovation, manage a rental property, or oversee a school, knowing the facts brings peace of mind.
Who Benefits from Lead Testing
Lead Testing supports a wide range of people and organisations. Homeowners often choose testing to protect family health. Likewise, landlords and managing agents use it to meet duty of care obligations.
Schools, nurseries, and childcare providers also rely on testing to safeguard vulnerable occupants. Additionally, businesses use Lead Testing to manage workplace exposure and demonstrate compliance.
As a result, Meyer Southern tailors every service to suit your property type and concerns.

Our Lead Testing Services
We provide a comprehensive range of Lead Testing options. Each service focuses on accuracy, safety, and clarity.
- Lead Paint Testing
Older paints often contain lead, especially in buildings constructed before restrictions came into force. Therefore, we test painted surfaces to confirm whether lead-based paint exists. We carry out sampling carefully to minimise disturbance. Then, we analyse samples using appropriate methods. As a result, you receive reliable confirmation and advice on managing or removing risk. - Lead Dust Testing
Lead dust can accumulate during wear, renovation, or poor maintenance. Consequently, it presents a hidden exposure pathway. We use wipe sampling to assess lead levels in household or workplace dust. This approach helps identify contamination that may not be visible. Therefore, you can address problems early. - Drinking Water Lead Testing
Lead can enter drinking water through old pipework, fittings, or solder. Because ingestion poses serious risk, testing water quality becomes essential where concerns exist. We sample tap water correctly and analyse it for elevated lead levels. Afterwards, we explain results clearly and outline practical steps if action is needed. - Soil Lead Testing
Soil contamination may occur near older buildings, former industrial sites, or busy roads. This becomes particularly important for gardens, play areas, and schools. We test soil samples to identify lead concentrations. Consequently, you can decide whether remediation or management measures are required.
Risk Assessment and Practical Advice
Testing alone is not enough. Therefore, Meyer Southern provides clear guidance alongside results.
We explain exposure pathways, risk levels, and suitable actions. These may include monitoring, maintenance, or professional remediation. As a result, you receive practical advice tailored to your situation.
Support for Schools and Landlords
Schools, nurseries, and landlords often require documented evidence of Lead Testing. We support duty holders by providing clear records and reports suitable for audits and inspections.
Additionally, we help prioritise actions where multiple risks exist. Therefore, you can manage responsibilities effectively and confidently.
How the Lead Testing Process Works
We keep the process simple and efficient. Firstly, we discuss your concerns and property details. This helps us recommend the most appropriate testing approach.
Next, we arrange on-site sampling at a convenient time. Our trained professionals work safely and efficiently to minimise disruption.
After sampling, laboratories analyse the materials using suitable methods. Once results return, we provide a clear report and explain findings.
Finally, we discuss next steps and answer any questions you have. Throughout, we remain available for support.
When You Should Consider Lead Testing
Certain situations increase the need for Lead Testing. For example, older properties often contain lead-based materials. Renovation or sanding work also raises risk by disturbing surfaces.
Homes with young children or pregnant occupants benefit from proactive testing. Similarly, schools and childcare settings require extra assurance.
Concerns about water quality or site history also justify testing. Therefore, early assessment helps prevent exposure.
