I am repairing some doors and door frames and using a scraper to take off layers of gloss and water based paint that has been used over damaged surfaces. I am now concerned because I am revealing black paint underneath which I worry could be lead based. Does anyone know whether this is likely to be lead?

Lead paint concerns Discussion in ' Painters' Talk ' started by alexeix , Oct 25, Hi, I need some advice about lead paint please. I live in a Victorian property and the paint on my front door frame was falling off, so I decided to strip it and repaint. I started using chemical stripper and a scraper, but it was so ineffective that the job would have taken weeks. Therefore, I decided to use a heat gun. I was careful not to burn any paint, but I did observe some fumes and some drifted into the house I only used the heat gun on the outside of the frame , and the smoke alarm in my hallway was set off. I understood that a heat gun was okay to use on lead paint, with care. Long story short, I still have work to do, to finish stripping the door frame, but I am now really concerned that I may have contaminated my house. Firstly, can anyone recommend a lead dust testing product available from a bricks and mortar shop? Secondly, am I worrying unnecessarily? Isitreally , Oct 25,

Or should we just cut our losses and get some pros in? AstramaxJul 9,

Evening, Was planning on sanding our stairs but did a swab test and 1 out of about 8 tests had signs of lead. What is the best way to remove safely? I read online about Peelaway but cannot find many instructions about what precautions need taking when using it. Thanks Nathan.

Evening, My partner and I have bought an old house and are in the process of renovating the whole thing and doing as much as we can ourselves and leaving some to the pro's where needed. Whilst taking the wallpaper off in the hallway we have found some flaking paint underneath, its a bizarre ochre colour but anyway given the age of the house and unknown age, we are concerned that it may be lead based paint. So my questions are: 1. Thanks in advance. MrMouldy , Aug 1, Could well be a distemper, see if it washes hot with warm water with a dash of washing up liquid in it. A product called Zinsser Grade 1 may well be better suited to your requirements, check it out. Last edited: Aug 1,

What is the situation with heat guns? Screwfix Community Forum. I understood that a heat gun was okay to use on lead paint, with care. Their website explains it all. Is that better?! I was careful not to burn any paint, but I did observe some fumes and some drifted into the house I only used the heat gun on the outside of the frame , and the smoke alarm in my hallway was set off. Hopefully someone will have more information on this and comment. Should I be worried?

Official websites use.

Also, is there a safe way to remove the wallpaper if the paint underneath is lead? Chuck the cloths away afterwards.
