Lead Water Test (UKAS-Accredited Laboratory Test) review
Landlords or managing agents who need UKAS-certified lead compliance evidence across several rental properties in one order.
By Tom Calder · Price last checked 20 September 2026 · price indicative
This is genuine UKAS-accredited (ISO 17025) laboratory analysis, not an indicative strip, so the result actually answers the question. But this particular listing requires a minimum order of five tests, which makes it poor value if you only want to check one tap — most homeowners are better off with Watersafe's single-order Lead Tap Water Test instead.

- UKAS-accredited (ISO 17025) lab result you can act on, compared directly against the UK 10µg/l DWI/Defra limit
- Simple postal process — sample bottle and instructions supplied, return packaging included
- Suitable for mains, tank and bottled drinking water, and accepted as evidence for the Scottish Repairing Standard
- Five-test minimum order on this version pushes the real spend to five times the single-unit price
Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy this specific listing if you just want to check one tap once — the 5-kit minimum means Watersafe's single-order Lead Tap Water Test (no minimum) or Lead Water RDT Test works out cheaper for a one-off check.
