The Hidden Danger of Old Paint
Health Risk Warning
Lead is a highly toxic metal that was widely used in paints on metals, woods, walls, and windows for decades. When this old, flaky paint deteriorates or is disturbed during renovation, it creates microscopic lead dust.
Severe Health Impacts:
Children: Highly vulnerable. Lead exposure damages developing brains and nervous systems, causing learning disabilities and behavioral issues.
Adults: Causes kidney damage, high blood pressure, and reproductive problems.
Before sanding, stripping, or demolishing any property in Bagpath, you must legally identify if lead is present.
Why Self-Testing Kits Are Not Enough
Don't risk false negatives. DIY swab tests are notoriously unreliable and do not meet legal requirements for remedial works.
