That looks perfect, thank you.
@bluehuw Read that infants ingesting even tiny amounts of lead impacts on brain / learning development.
Not sure why those tests are so hard to come by in the UK, don’t particularly want to wait ages for them to arrive though if I can just seal up the chips.
Can anyone recommend a good lead encapsulate paint to redo door frames with? I've noticed quite a few chips around several door frames in my flat (Victorian conversion) and have a two year old running around so assuming lead content is in there somewhere and want to cover it up asap.
Do I need something lead specific or would I be ok with a few coats of something like this: https://www.little-knights.co.uk/blogs/news/at-last-a-voc-free-gloss-paint
After reading about the effects of lead paint dust and children I'm prepared to sacrifice finish to avoid sanding / scraping etc.
