Lead Dust Removal Completed Projects
In an occupied heritage apartment block, we safely removed hazardous lead dust from a large ceiling cavity using containment, HEPA cleaning, antimicrobial treatment, and advanced air management—restoring a safe, sanitised environment while preserving the building’s historical character.
A commercial facility with varying lead contamination required a safe, efficient remediation plan. AllAces delivered a bi-annual program using air filtration, debris removal, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatments, and pressure washing across all site areas, completed outside business hours. The site was restored to a clean, safe, and compliant condition with an ongoing schedule to maintain regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our team are just a phone call away if we haven’t answered all your questions here.
Lead may be present in your home due to several factors. Older homes, particularly those built before the 1970s, often have lead-based paint, which can deteriorate over time, releasing lead dust or chips. Plumbing systems in older homes may also contain lead pipes or solder, which can leach into drinking water. Additionally, lead can be found in some imported products, such as ceramics, toys, or cosmetics. Contaminated soil around the home, often from historical industrial activities or leaded gasoline, can also introduce lead into the environment.
Yes, you should definitely test for lead-based paint in older properties before sanding. Sanding can release harmful lead dust into the air, which can be dangerous if inhaled or ingested. Testing allows you to determine if lead is present so you can take appropriate precautions, such as using protective equipment or hiring a professional to handle the removal safely.
Technicians conduct inspections and third-party tests to detect lead dust or lead-based paint hazards.
Lead can also be found in ceiling cavities, particularly in older homes. This can occur if the ceiling or roof materials, such as paint, contain lead or if there is lead dust that has settled in the cavities over time. Additionally, if lead-based paint was used on surfaces above the ceiling, such as in attics or roof spaces, lead particles may have accumulated in the cavities. Disturbing these areas during renovations or repairs can release lead dust, so it’s important to test and take precautions if you suspect lead may be present.
Lead dust can come from deteriorating lead-based paint, old plumbing, contaminated soil, or imported products.
We use specialised equipment and methods to prevent dust spread, ensure safe disposal, and protect occupants.
After cleanup, independent third-party testing verifies lead levels are safe before reoccupation.
