Types of graffiti we remove in Preston

Graffiti comes in many forms and the right solution depends on the surface and the type of paint used. Our Preston crew has seen it all from simple tag marks to elaborate wall pieces. We are skilled at removing:

• Traditional graffiti including spray paint and stencil work on brick render metal and glass surfaces
• Marker tags which can penetrate porous materials making removal more challenging
• Sticker and paste ups often found on shopfronts lampposts and notice boards
• Acid etched graffiti where corrosive marks have etched into glass metal or stone
• Graffiti on signage including business signs window graphics and wayfinding panels
• Graffiti on outdoor furniture such as benches bollards and planters
• Graffiti on vehicle and fleet surfaces including company cars and vans stored on site

Our team uses industry leading products and equipment to remove graffiti while protecting the integrity of the surface. We begin with a thorough assessment to determine the best removal method. For example porous brick may require meticulous solvent choices and gentle techniques while smooth glass can often be treated with specialty cleaners and controlled pressure washing. On delicate surfaces we test a small inconspicuous area first to ensure there is no damage or colour loss before proceeding with the full clean.

Acid etched graffiti and why it matters

Acid etched graffiti leaves permanent marks on glass and some stone surfaces. This form of vandalism is especially persistent and difficult to remove with ordinary cleaners. Our Preston operatives are trained to handle acid etched graffiti using specialised restoration techniques that respect the integrity of the surface. When you call us we will advise on whether replacement or restoration is the best long term option and we will outline clear costs before we begin work.

We can discuss practical anti graffiti coatings that create a protective layer making future removal easier. Regular maintenance checks especially after weekend or holiday periods can also catch early tagging before it becomes a bigger issue. Our team can help you set up a simple maintenance plan that fits your budget and property type.

Case studies and local experiences

Across Preston we have helped dozens of businesses restore their properties quickly and with minimal downtime. In one case a retail unit on London Road faced repeated tagging on its brick facade with stubborn red graffiti that resisted many standard cleaners. Our technicians carried out a targeted treatment using a solvent compatible with brick followed by a protective coating that repelled future paint. The result was a clean facade with a uniform appearance that impressed customers and reduced signs of vandalism over the following months. In another instance a commercial unit near Fishergate required removal of etched graffiti on a glass door which was carefully treated with a specialized process that preserved the door’s clarity and clarity of vision while removing the marks effectively. These examples highlight our flexible approach and commitment to quality on every Preston site.
