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?

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. Nathan lowe , May 7, If in doubt take all precautions. Don't know that stripper. But go for eye and skin protection. If there's a chance of fumes and dust then a suitable respirator, not a basic dust mask. You should be able to find the product data sheets online.

Afternoon all, I'm just about to prep a room for decorating and I was wondering about lead paint. House was built in and I've just stripped some old wall paper off. Some of the yellow paint, which i suspect is water based because it's very thin, came away underneath so in some spots, it's back to plaster. Having had a good old Google, I can't determine whether lead was used in wall paint in this era.

I started using chemical stripper and a scraper, but it was so ineffective that the job would have taken weeks. My concerns are - when the builder comes in to remove is it going to create a storm of toxic lead dust everywhere albeit we will ensure dust sheets etc and how long is that an issue for?

Also, is there a safe way to remove the wallpaper if the paint underneath is lead? We've managed to get a couple bits up smaller patches pictured, larger patches came off more easily downstairs , but as I was falling asleep last night I had the horrid thought it could be lead paint under the paper.

It usually works fine on old lead paint but as you have ordered the kit lets wait and see. Lead primer was common which has outlasted modern paints by decades but has not been sold for many years.

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 am now considering just getting it done professionally.

I'm not an expert but I would be really suprised if stripping one door can cause the release of enough lead to cause damage to anyone.

We have arranged a builder to come round in a couple of weeks to replace all doorframes and architraves upstairs and getting a quote for upvc window for the downstairs one trace here was inbetween old window and current frame which will rip out all the woodwork there too.
