This sampling kit is intended for landlords who have previously tested their kitchen for lead through Scottish Water or another laboratory.
 
Many landlords mistakenly believe that testing only the kitchen tap for lead is sufficient to meet the Repairing Standard. A recent legal opinion we obtained clarified that it is essential to consider other outlets in a rental property, as focusing solely on the cold supply in the kitchen sink could overlook lead present in other areas of the property.
 
If you already possess lead test results for your kitchen and wish to test a single outlet to complement your existing certificate, this option is ideal for you.

Please Note: This sampling kit is for a single outlet only. If you need more than one outlet tested, our Complete Water Sampling Kit will need to be purchased.
