Lead Paint

Lead paint is most likely to be found in houses built before 1970.

Health risks increase if the paint is flaking or chalking and the risk is particularly high if the lead paint is removed by sanding, sandblasting or burning.

Visit our Lead Paint page for more information and find out about the health impacts of lead paint and what you should do to safely remove it.
