The health hazards of lead paint are well-known across Australia, yet many of Melbourne’s heritage-listed public buildings and period homes built before 1970 still contain lead paint in sometimes small, sometimes larger amounts.
Even modern buildings may contain lead in certain places and any exposure to lead in paint, chips or dust – often unearthed during renovations or repairs - can present a hazard to human health.
Mike Bailey is fully accredited and specialises in the safe and effective removal and mitigation of lead paint. Mike closely follows the environmental standards and procedures required, uses only non-toxic, low-odour and low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paint stripping solutions, and takes great pride in ensuring that every project is completed to the highest degree of safety and professional quality.
Particularly critical during the restoration of heritage buildings, a safe and effective lead paint mitigation process can preserve the integrity of the original structure while ensuring that the building and its occupants face no future risk of exposure to lead-based paint.
