Why It Matters
Lead hazards should be controlled before renovation or demolition
Lead-based paint and other lead-containing materials may
be present in older homes, commercial buildings,
industrial spaces, and renovation sites throughout Metro
Vancouver.
Sanding, scraping, cutting, drilling, or demolishing these
materials can release hazardous dust and debris. BC Green
Demolition helps property owners and contractors manage
these hazards through careful preparation, controlled
abatement, detailed cleanup, and waste-handling
coordination.

What We Do
Complete lead abatement and removal support
We select an appropriate abatement approach based on the
affected material, condition of the property, project
scope, and planned renovation or demolition work.
Containment Setup
Preparation of controlled work areas using protective
barriers, restricted access, and procedures designed to
limit the spread of dust and debris.
Encapsulation
Application of a specialized coating over suitable
lead-painted surfaces to help isolate the
lead-containing material.
Component Removal
Removal of affected doors, cabinets, trim, fixtures,
wall components, and other items when replacement is the
preferred solution.
Renovation Preparation
Lead-hazard control before painting, remodeling, wall
removal, flooring replacement, restoration, or other
construction work.
Cleanup & Disposal
Detailed cleanup, packaging, handling, and disposal
coordination based on the affected materials and
project requirements.
Common Lead Hazards
Where lead may be found in older properties
Lead is most commonly associated with older paint and
coatings, but it may also be present in other building
materials and property components.
Interior Materials
- Painted walls and ceilings
- Doors, windows, frames, and trim
- Stairs, railings, and baseboards
- Cabinets and built-in components
Exterior Materials
- Exterior paint and siding coatings
- Porches, railings, and fences
- Industrial coatings and painted metal
- Dust near deteriorated painted surfaces
Hidden Hazards
Not sure whether a surface contains lead?
Lead cannot always be identified by appearance alone.
If an older painted surface will be scraped, sanded,
cut, removed, or demolished, professional assessment or
testing may be needed before work begins.
Contact our team with property details, photographs,
available test results, and information about the
renovation or demolition work you are planning.

Planning lead abatement before renovation or demolition
helps protect occupants, workers, neighbouring areas,
and the rest of the property.

FAQs
Lead abatement questions
Common questions property owners, contractors, and project
managers ask before beginning lead-abatement work.
How do I know whether my property has lead-based paint?
Lead paint cannot always be identified visually. The
property’s age, condition of the coating, planned work,
and professional testing can help determine whether
lead is present.
When is lead abatement necessary?
Abatement may be needed when lead-containing materials
are deteriorating or will be disturbed during sanding,
scraping, renovation, restoration, or demolition.
What is the difference between lead removal and encapsulation?
Removal physically takes away the affected coating or
building component. Encapsulation covers a suitable
lead-painted surface with a specialized coating
designed to isolate the material.
Can I stay in my property during lead abatement?
It depends on the location and size of the work area,
containment setup, and safety plan. Access to the
affected area may need to be restricted until the work
and cleanup are complete.
How much does lead abatement cost?
Cost depends on the amount and type of material,
property access, containment requirements, selected
abatement method, cleanup, disposal, and overall project
complexity.
How long does lead abatement take?
Smaller projects may be completed relatively quickly,
while larger or more complex sites require additional
time for preparation, containment, abatement, cleanup,
and waste handling.
Do you provide commercial lead abatement?
Yes. We support commercial buildings, offices, retail
spaces, strata properties, industrial sites, tenant
improvements, and demolition projects.
