WHAT WE TEST
Paint or dust?
Dust-wipe sampling
Measures lead in settled dust. Samples go to a laboratory, so report timing depends on analysis.
For property work, send the plans or work list with occupancy and access details. Scope testing to painted components or dust surfaces tied to the decision instead of ordering a generic package.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
A few questions,
answered.
What should I include in a Southampton testing request?
Send the address, planned work, affected rooms or components, access limits, and the decision the report must support. That information helps define a practical scope.
For a Southampton request, send the address, planned work, affected rooms or exterior components, access limits, occupancy information, and report purpose. Include plans or a work list when available, and identify surfaces that may be scraped, cut, enclosed, replaced, or repainted. Separate occupied and unoccupied areas so the request matches the actual project.
Should I choose XRF or dust wipes for Southampton?
XRF provides field information about lead in tested painted components. Dust wipes address settled dust and require laboratory analysis. The right method depends on the property question.
XRF provides field information about tested painted components. Dust wipes address settled dust and require laboratory analysis. Use paint testing for named windows, doors, trim, walls, or other components; use dust sampling for settled material; or request both when needed. Explain the rooms and surfaces involved. An XRF result does not replace dust sampling, and a dust result does not establish the condition of every painted surface.
Can testing replace repairs or agency review?
No. Testing documents the areas and conditions examined. Repairs, clearance, permits, inspections, or other decisions remain separate and depend on the property and project.
Testing records the requested areas and conditions. It does not perform repairs, cleanup, containment, permitting, clearance, or agency review. If an owner, contractor, inspector, or reviewer needs the report for a stated decision, share that request before scheduling.
