Gentle principle

A note on old finishes.

Unknown paint can contain lead. Old coatings, dust and residues need an informed approach. Do not sand, burn or grind a finish until you know what it is.

These are general care notes, not an installation specification. Ask a competent specialist about electrical work, gas, fire, load-bearing parts or building regulations.
