Understanding common types of graffiti seen in Aldgate

Aldgate is a busy hub with a mix of historic surfaces and modern glass and metal features. The graffiti you see here can vary widely from location to location. Understanding the type of graffiti helps us select the right removal method and the best aftercare. Below are the most common forms we encounter in Aldgate and how we deal with them.

Traditional graffiti and tags

Traditional graffiti includes stylised letters tags and symbols painted on exterior walls signage and sometimes doorways. These marks are typically oil or acrylic based and sit on the surface as a layer of paint. We use paint strippers mild solvents and pressure washing where appropriate to remove the marks. We focus on preserving the underlying substrate while completely removing the graffiti so your wall or frontage looks as it did before the vandalism occurred.

Throw ups and larger graffiti letters

Throw ups are larger than a tag and often require more aggressive cleaning. We evaluate the best approach based on the paint type the surface and the age of the graffiti. In many cases we use a combination of solvent cleaners and low pressure washing to lift and remove these marks without harming the surface beneath.

Acid etched graffiti on glass and protected surfaces

Acid etched graffiti creates a different challenge. The etching damages the surface giving a frosted or cloudy appearance on glazing metal or other reflective surfaces. The removal work here is delicate. We use specialised glass cleaners and controlled productive methods to bring back clarity while avoiding further damage. This work often requires precision and patience and our team has the training to perform it with care.

Stencil and mural vandalism

On newer storefronts and some offices stencil style vandalism can appear. This can be a mix of paint and stencil residue. We remove these marks by using gentle chemical cleaners that do not affect the finish of the glass or the paintwork on nearby areas. Transmission of colour between layers is avoided by careful removal and testing on a hidden area first where needed.

Graffiti on brickwork and stone

Brick and stone are porous surfaces and require particular attention. We frequently perform deep cleaning on brickwork to remove embedded paint while maintaining the integrity of the mortar. We may apply a protective sealant after the surface is clean to reduce the chances of future graffiti sticking as strongly as before.

Graffiti on signage and metal panels

Signage and metal panels can be especially challenging when paint agents penetrate joints and edges. Our approach includes surface specific cleaners and sometimes limited abrasion to lift the paint without damaging the sign or panel. We test every method on a small area first to ensure there is no adverse effect on the signage readability or branding.

Protecting your Aldgate property after graffiti removal

Removing graffiti is just one part of the story. The next stage is keeping surfaces in good condition and reducing the likelihood of future incidents. We offer practical preventative measures that are suitable for Aldgate properties. Anti graffiti coatings are the most effective option for high traffic storefronts and surfaces that face a frequent risk of vandalism. These coatings create a barrier that makes graffiti easier to remove in the future. We also provide guidance on how to schedule regular cleaning and maintenance. A clean and well maintained exterior signals to potential customers that you care about your business and your community.

For glass and reflective surfaces we often recommend a sacrificial gel or a permeable barrier that protects the glazing while still allowing for easy removal of any marks that do occur. For brick and painted surfaces we can apply a clear protective layer that resists graffiti and is compatible with your existing finishes. Our team will explain the options clearly so you can make the best choice for your property and budget.
