My Victorian House has dodgy green paint on the walls - is this dangerous?
My house was build in the 1880s and has a green "wash" of paint over the plaster on some walls. Does anyone know what this paint is and if it is harmful? Should I do anything to protect myself when I am removing it?
My Mum has a heritage paint chart with exactly the same colour on it and the colour is called "Arsenic"! This is not inspiring! Can anyone help me?
It may contain lead or it could just be a milk based paint. If you go to one of the larger paint stores you should be able to buy a kit which you can test the paint with. Or if you can't find that, the paint store should tell you how to protect yourself while stripping the paint off the walls.
First home was in great location
When did you buy your first house? My husband and I first bought our house just before we got married many years ago. Where was it? It was in Barrow town centre which was very handy for shopping, near to work, and later for school for our two daughters.
