The short answer
In Kent, 89% of housing was built before 2010. The lead-free rule that took effect on 4 January 2014 governs what may be sold, not what must be removed, so an older faucet is not unlawful - but it decides which replacement parts are.

Almost every faucet complaint is one of four faults in one of four mechanisms. 89% of the stock in Kent was built before 2010.
What this site is
FaucetMend is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. We carry out no work, we sell no fixtures, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. Nothing here is a statement about the water at any address; only a test of that water can tell you about it.Kent in numbers

Repair or replace
A cartridge costs a fraction of a faucet and takes the same visit. Replacement is the answer when the body is pitted, when the finish has failed, or when the parts are no longer made — not simply because the tap is old.
One slow tap is usually the aerator
If a single fixture runs weak while the rest of the house is normal, the aerator at the end of the spout is the first thing to unscrew. It is the simplest fix in plumbing and it does not need anybody called out.
