2. In the past there has been considerable media attention on the issue
of lead paint but as new paint no longer contains lead the public have
been led to believe that lead in paint is no longer an issue. Far from it,
lead paint can still be around all of us daily; it is still hazardous if not
dealt with in a cautions manner, particularly when stripping paint
work on an older property.
If a property was constructed before 1970 then it is highly likely to
contain lead paint. Previous owners or even you would give the
painted area a clean, possibly a sand and paint the next coat on top
thus hiding any potential risk for another day.

4. The decision to remove lead paint from a pre-1970s property should
be taken after careful consideration. Those undertaking the removal
must avoid producing dust, seal off the area, clean thoroughly after
stripping and make sure children and pregnant women are away from
the property when the stripping is taking place.
There are three viable paint stripping options to remove the threat
from your property suggested by the British Coatings Federation to
deal with lead paint:

6. Chemical paint stripping - a method of stripping paint off wooden surfaces that
involves applying a chemical coating or dipping the wood into a chemical bath. This is
expensive, messy and time consuming. The amateur must take care as chemicals are
highly toxic giving off solvent fumes, so masks are essential, but masks don't protect
against dust so great care must be taken. The newly applied paint layers will often fall
off and flake prematurely, because even with great care small traces of chemicals
remain within cracks and gaps that stop the paint adhesion.
