Safe, compliant removal of hazardous lead-based paints.
Professional and fully compliant lead paint removal from Wellington's older homes — protecting your family and the environment.
Many Wellington homes built before 1980 contain lead-based paint that poses a serious health risk, especially to children. RE Decorators Ltd is trained and equipped to safely test for, contain, and remove lead paint in compliance with WorkSafe NZ guidelines. We use wet-scraping techniques, HEPA filtration, and full containment setups to ensure that lead dust does not spread beyond the work area. All waste is disposed of safely and in accordance with local regulations.
We test the existing paint to confirm the presence and concentration of lead.
The work area is sealed with plastic sheeting and negative air pressure established.
Lead paint is removed using wet-scraping or chemical methods to minimise dust.
The area is thoroughly cleaned, waste bagged and disposed of, and the area tested clear.
Surfaces are prepared and repainted to a premium standard once cleared.
Homes built before 1980 are likely to have some lead paint. We offer a test-and-report service to confirm.
It costs more than standard preparation due to the containment and compliance requirements, but protecting your family's health is priceless. We provide a full written quote.
We provide lead paint stripping across Wellington City, Porirua, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Kapiti Coast, and the wider Wellington Region. Call 0800 449 251 for a free quote.
