What makes Barbican properties unique for graffiti removal

Barbican properties often feature exposed brickwork polished concrete and glass. Each surface responds differently to graffiti removal methods. Traditional spray paint can soak into porous brick while etched markings can be hard to shift from glass or stone. We tailor our approach to the surface material to preserve the integrity of the structure while removing the graffiti effectively. On glass we may use specialized gels while on brick or render we may employ gentle non abrasive techniques to avoid surface damage.

Typical graffiti you may encounter in Barbican

• Traditional sprayed lettering and tags on brick walls and storefronts
• Sticker posters and residue stuck to windows doors and signage
• Acid etched graffiti on glass surfaces which creates a rough hazy appearance
• Graffiti on metal railings and fixtures that can be hard to shift without scratching
• Vandalism related to graffiti including minor damage from scraping or solvent use

Types of graffiti we remove in Barbican

We remove a wide range of graffiti types from commercial properties in Barbican. Different surfaces require different cleaning methods. Below is a guide to the types we commonly encounter and how we approach them.

Traditional graffiti and tagging

Traditional graffiti involves spray paint applied to exterior walls signage or fencing. On smooth surfaces such as metal or painted timber we can remove with solvent based cleaners or specialised graffiti removers. On brick or stone we may use poultices and gentle abrasion techniques to lift the paint without damaging the substrate. We always protect adjacent surfaces and ensure the cleaned area matches the surrounding finish.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti leaves a rough cloudy mark on glass or plastic surfaces. This problem is common on glass doors and windows in busy commercial settings. We use careful surface specific methods to remove etching without weakening the glass or leaving a haze behind. In some cases a professional glass resurfacing method may be recommended to restore clarity while maintaining safety.

Adhesive residues and posters

Adhesive residues from posters stickers and tape can be stubborn. Our approach combines solvent cleaner with a soft scrub to lift adhesives without dragging unwanted residues across the surface. We take care to protect painted surfaces and avoid damage to glazing frames or sealant lines around windows and doors.

Graffiti on brickwork and render

Brick and render can absorb graffiti making removal more challenging. We use methods designed for porous surfaces which may include gel cleaners pulsed rinsing and gentle abrasion where appropriate. Our goal is to return the brickwork or render to a uniform appearance while maintaining the integrity of the structure and any protective coatings that may be present.

Signage and metal fixtures

Graffiti on signage metal railings and security features requires a careful approach to avoid scratches and maintain the readability of signs. We select cleaning agents that are effective yet gentle on metal and we complete the work with a final polish if required to restore shine and legibility.
