Is Your Property Meeting Current Scottish Lead Standards?
Since March 1, 2024, the Scottish Government updated the Repairing Standard, making it a legal requirement for all private landlords to ensure their properties are completely free from lead. It’s no longer just about meeting "safe levels" if there are lead pipes, they need to go.
At Lead Replacement Scotland, we specialise in helping landlords and homeowners navigate these changes with zero stress. Whether you need to tick a compliance box or simply want to guarantee the safety of your family’s drinking water, covering Scotland we are experts in lead detection and removal.
Professional Testing for Total Peace of Mind
Navigating new regulations can be a headache, but we keep things simple. Our team doesn't just "test the water" we provide a comprehensive assessment of your entire supply system.
-
Expert Inspections: Our experienced plumbers are trained to identify lead piping, lead-soldered joints, and old lead tanks that others might miss.
-
Precision Sampling: We follow strict protocols, taking samples from the cold water kitchen tap after a period of stagnation (usually 12 hours) to ensure the most accurate reading possible.
-
Laboratory Analysis: Your samples are sent to accredited labs for professional testing, providing you with a certified result you can rely on.
Beyond the Test: Compliance and Solutions
The new rules are clear: even if a water test returns a low lead level (below the 5 micrograms per litre threshold), landlords must still remove or disconnect any visible lead pipes, tanks, or connections. If we find lead in your system, you’re in the right hands. We don't just hand you a report and leave; we provide:
-
Clear, Plain-English Advice: We’ll explain exactly where the lead is and what needs to be done.
-
Minimal Disruption: We specialise in trenchless technology (moling), allowing us to replace your lead pipes without digging up your garden or driveway.
-
Documented Evidence: Even if your property is lead-free, we can provide a professional photo report to serve as permanent proof of compliance for your records.
