If the same stone wall keeps getting tagged, we can protect it. We supply and apply breathable anti-graffiti coatings to stone facades, plinths, pilasters and boundary walls across London, so the next tag sits on the coating instead of soaking into the stone. We can remove the existing graffiti and apply the anti-graffiti coating in one visit, with a fixed price for both and a crew on site within three hours of your go-ahead.

Anti-Graffiti Coating For Stone, Supplied And Fitted

A coating changes what happens next time. Paint bonds to the coating rather than the stone, so we can remove it faster and more gently, and the stone underneath is left alone. For an owner paying to clean the same elevation every few weeks, it is the difference between an ongoing repair bill and a routine visit.

It also protects the wall itself. Every clean takes a little from stone. On hard granite that loss is tiny. On limestone, sandstone and soft brick it adds up, and Historic England is direct about it: "Most surfaces, especially those of softer stone and brick, are unlikely to withstand repeated cleaning without damage."

Our crews carry their own water and power and can work before you open, after you close or across a weekend. Nobody from your building needs to be there, and we leave the footway clear and the frontage ready for trade. Weekend and early slots are priced the same as a weekday.

Who Buys Coatings From Us

• Retailers and banks whose stone pilasters and stallrisers are tagged most weeks.
• Managing agents with a gable end, side passage or boundary wall that is hit repeatedly.
• Estates and business districts with stone planters, seating and plinths in public squares.
• Owners of listed stone frontages who want each future clean to be as gentle as possible.
• Facilities teams building protection into a stone graffiti removal contract for a whole portfolio.

Coatings We Apply To Stone

Sacrificial coatings	A clear, breathable layer that comes away with the graffiti during removal and is reapplied afterwards. Our usual choice for porous and historic stone.
Semi-permanent coatings	Withstand several cleans before they need topping up. Suited to busy frontages on sound stone.
Permanent coatings	A durable barrier for hard, low-porosity surfaces such as granite and modern cast stone panels.

Breathability is the rule we never bend on stone. As a Historic Scotland conservator put it in the Building Conservation Directory, "The coating should ideally be permeable to water vapour, allowing the stone to behave as it would in its natural state." A coating that traps moisture can cause more harm than the graffiti, so we only apply products that let the wall dry out.

Removal And Protection In A Single Visit

1. We remove the current graffiti with the method chosen for your stone.
2. We let the surface dry and check for any shadow that needs a second treatment.
3. We test the coating on a small area so you can see there is no change in colour or sheen.
4. We apply the coating to the agreed area, usually from ground level to the height taggers reach.
5. We record the product, area and date in your completion report for future cleans.

If the wall is Portland, we pair the coating with our Portland stone graffiti removal method. On polished stone, such as the marble handled by our marble graffiti removal team, we choose a product that keeps the shine exactly as it is.

When A Coating Is The Wrong Answer

We would rather lose a sale than sell you something your building does not need. A coating is usually not worth it when:

• The wall has been tagged once in several years and is unlikely to be hit again soon.
• The stone is soft, unpainted and historic, and a breathable product cannot be matched to it.
• The surface is already coated with something we cannot identify or remove safely.
• The building is listed and the coating would change its appearance.

In those cases we will say so at quote stage and recommend fast, gentle removal on call instead. Where a sacrificial product is right, bear in mind the same article notes that "Depending on the type of barrier selected it may be necessary to reapply the coating after each graffiti removal exercise." Your quote states what reapplication after each clean involves, so there is no surprise later.

Glass Beside Your Stone

Shopfronts pair stone with glass, and taggers often scratch the glass rather than spray it. Our anti-acid-etch graffiti protection service fits clear sacrificial film to glazing on the same visit, so the whole frontage is protected at once.

A Fixed Price For Clean And Coat

You get one figure covering removal, the coating test, the application and a completion report. Where a sacrificial product is used, the quote also states what reapplication after each future clean involves. There is no survey fee and quoting is free.

Anti-Graffiti Coating For Stone: Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does An Anti-Graffiti Coating Cost?

It depends on the area, the stone and the type of coating. We quote one fixed figure for removal and protection together, and quoting is free.

How Soon Can You Apply It?

We can attend within three hours of your go-ahead to clean, and coat on the same visit once the stone is dry.

Will The Coating Change How The Stone Looks?

It should not. We test on a small area first and only use clear, breathable products with no added sheen.

Is A Coating Safe On Historic Stone?

A breathable sacrificial coating usually is. On listed buildings we check whether consent is needed before we apply anything.

How Long Does A Coating Last?

It depends on the product and how often the wall is hit. Your quote states what upkeep to expect.

Can You Coat Just The Lower Part Of The Wall?

Yes. Most owners protect from ground level to around head height, where nearly all tags land.

Do You Offer Coating As Part Of A Contract?

Yes. On portfolios with repeat-hit elevations, coating is often built into the maintenance plan.
