FAQ

Lead Paint Safe Removal

How do I know if my home has lead paint?

Homes painted before the 1980s, especially older villas and bungalows, commonly have lead-based paint under later coats. If you are unsure, talk to us before disturbing old paint and we will advise.

Why is lead paint dangerous?

When disturbed by flaking, sanding or scraping, lead paint releases dust and chips that are harmful if inhaled or ingested, particularly for children and pets. Careful handling greatly reduces that risk.

How do you remove lead paint safely?

We contain the work area, use low-dust removal methods rather than aggressive dry sanding, and clean up and dispose of debris responsibly to keep your home and surroundings safe.

Can you repaint after removing lead paint?

Yes. Once old paint is safely managed, we prepare and prime the surfaces so your older home can be repainted with a fresh, durable finish.

Should I sand old paint myself first?

We would advise against it. Dry sanding old paint can scatter lead dust. Speak to us before you start and we will recommend the safest approach for your property.
