We make removing graffiti from your property effortless. No lazy Contractors. No hidden fees. Just expert graffiti removal, every single time. We specialise in removing traditional graffiti and acid etched graffiti. Our team operates across London including Middle Park. We respond quickly and work with property managers and homeowners to restore surfaces while protecting original finishes.

What is acid etched graffiti and why it matters in Middle Park

Acid etched graffiti is a form of vandalism where an aggressor applies a corrosive chemical to a surface to create marks or inscriptions. The process literally eats into the surface and leaves permanent damage that can be difficult to remove with ordinary cleaning methods. In Middle Park you may find etched marks on glass windows, stone facades, brickwork, and metal signage. The consequences go beyond aesthetics. Acid etched graffiti can reduce property value, attract further vandalism and create opportunities for moisture intrusion and further staining if not treated properly. That is why it is important to act quickly and choose a professional service that understands both the chemistry involved and the sensitivity of historic or decorative finishes common in Middle Park properties.

Understanding the chemistry helps. Most etched marks occur because the graffiti is created using acidic or caustic substances that dissolve or etch the surface. The depth of the damage can range from a light mark to a deep engraving that changes how light reflects off the surface or weakens structural materials. Professional removal requires choosing methods that remove the residue without enlarging the etch or leaving behind residues that can cause staining again. At DUA London Graffiti Removal we have years of experience dealing with acid etched graffiti in concrete, brick, stone, glass and metal. We tailor our approach to the specific material and the finishes used on a building in Middle Park to preserve as much as possible while restoring a clean surface.

Why Middle Park needs professional removal for acid etched graffiti

Surface types in Middle Park range from classic brick and stone facades to large glass windows and metal features on commercial buildings. Acid etched graffiti can compromise the protective coatings on these surfaces and may void warranties if removed incorrectly. A DIY approach can worsen the damage by spreading the chemicals or by scratching the surface in an attempt to scrub the marks away. Professional removal ensures a safe controlled approach with the correct products for the job. Our teams carry specialist equipment, appropriate PPE and a well tested plan designed around the surface and location. We also hold public liability insurance for your peace of mind and understand the need for minimal disruption in busy middle park streets such as the areas near Ladbroke Grove and Westbourne Grove where residents and tenants value both security and curb appeal.

In Middle Park properties with heritage value or higher end finishes, there is an extra layer of importance. We protect the surrounding area from chemical runoff, avoid damaging delicate decorative elements and ensure that re polishing or re sealing is done when needed. This careful approach helps maintain curb appeal and reduces the risk of long term surface degradation. It also means you do not need to hire multiple tradespeople to assess and fix different surface types. Our team can handle the full scope from containment and removal to polishing and aftercare advice all in one visit.

Our approach to acid etched graffiti removal in Middle Park

FAIR WARNING: Each case is unique. We begin with a careful assessment and a safety plan. We talk you through the options and agree on a method that protects your property and respects local regulations. We build a plan around the specific surface involved and the level of damage observed. We do not rush the process because acid etched stains can be stubborn and require time for the right products to work. We aim to deliver results that look like the problem never occurred while maintaining the integrity of the surface.

Initial assessment and site preparation

Our first step is a thorough inspection of the affected area. We assess the depth of the etching, the type of surface, and any existing finishes. We check for moisture and any salt or mineral deposits that could affect the removal process. We document the site with notes and photos so you can see what was removed and what remains. We identify surfaces that require masking or protection to prevent accidental contact with adjacent areas. In Middle Park the close packed streets and tight access points often require careful planning for our equipment and waste containment systems.

Surface friendly and surface specific methods

We tailor our approach to the material and finish. For glass surfaces with etched marks we may use a combination of micro abrasives and safe chemically formulated cleaners that do not alter the glass mosaic or coatings. For stone and brick we often use poultices that draw the contaminant out of the pores without damaging the masonry. When metal signage is involved we select cleaners that do not react with the underlying metal to prevent staining or corrosion. Each method is chosen to minimize risk to the surface and to preserve any protective sealants already in place.

Containment and protection

Acid etched graffiti can produce residues that migrate to nearby surfaces. We implement containment measures to keep runoff away from non affected areas. We place protective sheeting and use damp vacuums to capture any aerosols or dust created during the process. Our team wears appropriate PPE including eye protection and chemical resistant gloves. We also manage waste according to local guidelines to ensure that no chemical waste impacts the local environment around Middle Park homes and businesses.

Removal process and time frame

The removal process varies by surface but our goal is to deliver a clean and uniform finish in as short a time as feasible without compromising safety or surface integrity. For many cases on glass or polished stone we can achieve a high grade finish in a single visit. More challenging surfaces may require a second pass or an extended aftercare plan. We are transparent about timing and keep you informed at every stage. We understand that time is money for shop fronts and commercial properties in Middle Park and we work to minimize disruption.

Rinse and neutralize stage

After the main removal steps we rinse thoroughly to remove any cleaning residues. We then neutralize and test the surface to ensure that there is no residual chemical that could cause future staining or damage. This stage is essential for long term protection and compatibility with sealants or coatings that may be applied later. We always verify that water runoff and cleaning agents comply with local environmental standards in the Middle Park area.

Surface condition evaluation and aftercare

Once the surface is clean we assess for any remaining marks, pitting, or micro scratches. We guide you on aftercare options such as re sealing, protective coatings or anti graffiti films if appropriate. The aim is to prevent future graffiti while keeping the original aesthetic look of the surface. In Middle Park many clients appreciate a protective solution that reduces the effort needed for future graffiti removals while maintaining the visual appeal of their property.

Surfaces we treat in Middle Park

• Glass and glazing on shop fronts and residential windows
• Stone facades including limestone and sandstone
• Brickwork and brick veneer surfaces
• Metal signage and decorative metal components

Every surface has its own sensitivity profile. We document what is on the surface before we begin and we tailor our approach to minimize impact while achieving excellent results. In Middle Park areas like Kent Street and surrounding lanes the variety of finishes can be impressive. Our technicians are trained to recognize and adapt to these finishes so that your property looks refreshed after the removal.

Prompt removal reduces the chance of the acid etched marks spreading or becoming more deeply embedded.
