Lead Paint in Older Tweed Heads Homes — What You Need to Know

If your Tweed home was built before 1970, there's a real chance you have lead paint under your topcoats. Here's how we handle it safely.

Why pre-1970 homes need a second look

Lead-based paint was widely used in Australian homes until the 1970s. It's not dangerous when intact and painted over — but sanding, scraping or burning it releases lead dust, which is a serious health risk, especially for children.

How we handle suspected lead paint

Our standard sequence on pre-1970 Tweed homes.

Spot-test suspect surfaces with a lead test kit
Wet-scrape only — never dry-sand or heat-strip
HEPA vacuum all debris, never sweep
Encapsulate with a sealer-primer designed for lead
Two finish coats of a quality acrylic on top

When to call a specialist

If lead paint is heavily peeling, on a high-traffic surface like a verandah, or being removed (not painted over), a licensed lead-paint removalist is required by NSW WHS rules. We can refer one.
