Got a question that only a tradesperson can answer? We have thousands of trades ready to answer any question you may have.
Ask your QuestionHow can I tell or even test whether a can of paint contains lead? Is it safe to test for this? Should it just say on the can or will some sort of check be needed on my behalf? If so, how can this be done and how can it be done safely?

Answered on 4th Nov 2020 - Member since May 2019 - report"Purchasing paint - Lead in paint was banned in 1992, except for some specialist products that should state clearly that lead is present.
If you want to test for the lead that is already applied in your home, there are kits you can buy or services you can call - you can find these with a quick Google search.
Hope this helps."
