Granite Graffiti Removal That Keeps The Shine
Granite is tough stone. It shrugs off weather, feet and pressure far better than limestone or sandstone. What it does not forgive is the wrong abrasive on a polished face. Once the polish is scratched, the tag may be gone but a matt ghost stays in its place, and getting the shine back means bringing a polishing crew in.
We quote to protect the finish first and remove the graffiti second. That order is why banks, retailers and building owners with granite frontages book us rather than the nearest jet-wash firm.

Where We Clean Granite In London
- We clean dark polished stallrisers under shop windows on high streets and parades.
- We clear tags from granite entrance cladding and columns on office blocks and banks.
- We treat plinths and lower courses where granite meets Portland stone above.

London has granite on almost every street. Whitton's planning guidance picks out a 1930s shopfront on the High Street with a "Stallriser in black granite", and Harrow and Wealdstone station is listed with "lower courses of Cornish granite". Our crews meet the same detail every week.

What Dulls A Granite Finish
Historic England sets the rule we work to: "When working with polished or glazed substrates, the abrasive must be at least as soft as the softest constituent." In granite, that softest part is not the quartz. As the guidance puts it, "Granite is regarded as hard because its principal constituent is quartz (7 Mohs), but it also typically contains mica (2.5–3 Mohs)."
| Grit blasting or TORC granulate | Scratches the softer minerals in the polish and leaves a matt patch. |
| Scouring pads and wire brushes | Leave swirl marks that catch the light on every sunny morning. |
| Harsh strippers left to dwell | Can stain lighter granites and attack the resin in older repairs and joints. |
| High pressure at close range | Blows out the joints between panels and pushes paint into any open grain. |
We avoid every one of these. If a previous clean has already left a shadow or matt mark, our graffiti shadow and ghosting removal service can put it right.
How We Remove Graffiti From Granite
- We check the finish first: polished, honed, flamed or sawn, because each takes a different approach.
- We test a gentle, non-abrasive remover on a small area and let you see it.
- We lift spray paint with superheated steam at very low pressure, which granite handles well.
- We clean joints and edges by hand so nothing is left in the lines.
- We check polished faces in raking light so the cleaned area matches the panels either side.
On flamed paving and rough granite, where there is no polish to protect, we can work faster and with more heat. Many rough granite jobs are finished in a single short visit.

Granite Beside Marble, Portland And York Stone
Granite rarely sits alone. A bank front might have granite at the base, Portland above and marble around the door. Outside, granite kerbs often frame York stone flags. We price the whole mark and change method at each joint. Our marble graffiti removal and York stone graffiti removal services run from the same crew and the same visit.
Urgent Tags On Granite Plinths And Memorials
Granite is the stone of choice for memorial bases, statue plinths and civic seating, which also makes it a target. When the graffiti is racist, abusive or political, we treat it as urgent. We attend within three hours, cover the offensive content on arrival if the full clean needs longer, and send a dated completion report you can share with residents, trustees or the press office.
Councils, estates and business improvement districts can book us on a call-off basis, so the next incident needs one message, not a new procurement exercise.
Priced Once, Fixed Before We Start
Your quote is one figure. It covers the test, the clean, detailing of joints and edges, access and a completion report. There is no survey fee and no charge to quote. Retailers with several units, or landlords with a whole parade, can have each unit priced separately on one visit.
Granite Cleaning For Businesses And Estates
Our commercial graffiti removal clients include Pret, Chestertons, Iceland, Coca-Cola, StayCity, Ibis, McDonald's, Kwik Fit and WeWork Waterloo. DUA scores 5.0 across 42 Google reviews and every job carries £10m public liability cover, with the certificate sent with your quote. We send a method statement, a risk assessment and COSHH data as standard, so procurement can sign us off first time.
Granite work regularly takes us to the City of London, Paternoster Square, Trafalgar Square and Whitton, and our stone graffiti removal crews cover every borough.
