Lead Paint Inspection

Protecting Your Property from Lead Hazards

Lead-based paint remains one of the most common hazardous materials found in Australian properties built before 1970. Professional Asbestos Removal (PAR) provides thorough lead paint inspections to identify lead hazards in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings across Sydney and NSW.

What is a Lead Inspection?

A lead inspection involves the systematic testing of painted surfaces, dust, and soil to determine whether lead is present and at what concentration. Our qualified inspectors collect samples from high-risk areas — window frames, door frames, skirting boards, exterior cladding, and older painted surfaces — and submit them to NATA-accredited laboratories for analysis.

When Do You Need a Lead Inspection?

  • Before renovating or demolishing a pre-1970 property
  • When paint is peeling, flaking, or deteriorating in an older building
  • Before purchasing an older home or commercial property
  • If children or pregnant women occupy a building with suspected lead paint
  • As part of a workplace health and safety assessment
