Lead Paint Removal Brisbane
Safe and effective lead-based paint removal in Brisbane
If your home contains lead-based paint, this can cause a health issue for you and your family. Lead paint also makes it more complicated to paint the walls if you’re looking to refurbish your house. Commonly found on older character homes in Brisbane, lead paint removal is definitely something best left to the professionals.
Any amount of lead-based paint can cause a risk. If you’re unsure whether you have lead-based paint, and your home was built prior to 1970, then there is a high likelihood lead was used to paint your home.
Surepaint can carry out a range of services for dealing with lead paint. We can test the paint to determine whether or not you have lead-based paint.
When we discover lead-based paint, we’ll discuss the options available to you for dealing with the issue. We are highly qualified, professional experts who can remove it safely and ensure your family and your home is protected.

Our Lead Paint Removal Service Process
Planning
One of our highly experienced tradesmen will come out and visit you to do a full assessment of the house. They’ll work with you to figure out your goals (e.g. preparing the home for sale, removing lead-based paint or complete refurbish) and discuss more detailed costs and timeframes. Site access and height access requirements will also be worked out at this stage. If necessary, Surepaint can carry out lead paint testing to detect whether your home contains lead-based paint.
Lead Paint Removal
Our professionals will get to work in removing and disposing of the lead paint in the best way possible, using EPA guidelines and the highest professional standards. This process can take some time, but it’s important to do it right!
Final clean up and follow-through
By the time we’ve tidied up, the house will be in tip-top condition ready for repainting. We’ll work to resolve any issues should they arise. We may recommend some associated services, such as exterior house painting, to help you get the best result possible and protect your home for the long run.
How do You Remove Lead Paint?
Cover the ground underneath and around the areas to be cleaned with heavy-duty plastic sheeting to contain chips and flakes of paint
Tape up windows and gaps around doors to prevent lead paint waste from entering the home
Wet scrape the area with tungsten steel scrapers or LiNBiDE scrapers
Wet machine sand lead paint. Starting with 40 grit and progressing our way up to 120 grit sandpaper
Gather up plastic sheeting and all paint chips around the work area
Dispose of lead paint and waste in accordance with EPA lead paint removal guidelines


Wet sanding with an attached water source helps prevent toxic lead dust and can prepare a lead paint home to be painted over. In projects where our lead paint removal specialists are preparing your home for repainting, we start sanding with 60 grit sandpaper.
Now if you need full paint removal we can do this via wet sanding (mostly for large flat external walls) or we can use chemical lead paint removal products. Our chemical paint removal process follows this method:
Apply various products to test which one will work best for your home, and how long it will need to be in place for
Lay down heavy-duty plastic sheeting around all areas being treated to contain waste
Tape off windows, doors and other gaps to cover surfaces that don’t need to be treated
Apply the paint stripping agent to the walls based on the results of the test patch carried out earlier
Cover the chemical agent with laminated paper to prevent accidental exposure or premature removal
Wait for 12 to 72 hours for the chemical paint remover to work, based on test patch results
Scrape off and remove lead paint
Clean up and dispose of waste
