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.
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!
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.
Surepaint’s teams have the ability to remove lead-based paint entirely from any surface, or we can prepare lead-based paint so that you can paint over the top of it. Either way, when we carry out lead paint removal in Brisbane special precautions must be taken.
Our complete lead paint preparation process looks like this:
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 scraper
Wet machine sand lead paint. Starting with 40 grit and progressing our way up to 120 grit sandpaper
Dispose of lead paint and waste in accordance with EPA lead paint removal guidelines
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
Cover the ground underneath and around the areas to be cleaned with heavy-duty plastic sheeting to contain chips and flakes of paint
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
Wait for 12 to 72 hours for the chemical paint remover to work, based on test patch results
