What types of graffiti we remove in Rotherhithe

Graffiti can take many forms and the technique used to remove it varies accordingly. We work with commercial buildings, schools and healthcare facilities as well as retail spaces along Rotherhithe Street. Here are the most common types we encounter and how we approach them in a way that protects the surface and preserves the building’s appearance.

Traditional graffiti

This is the classic spray painted tag or throw up that covers brick, concrete, metal, glass and timber. Our process involves careful containment to prevent pigment migration to nearby surfaces, followed by a cleaning method appropriate for the material we are dealing with. On brick and render we use a combination of specialist cleaning agents and low pressure washing to lift the paint without damaging the substrate. For glass we use methods that avoid scratching or hazing, preserving visibility and aesthetics. For metal panels we protect surrounding areas and apply surface friendly cleaners that remove pigment without corroding the metal.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti happens when aggressive cleaning agents or chemical processes remove or engrave marks into glass, stone or metal. This can create a pitted look or leave behind a cloudy or etched surface. We have experience with these more challenging cases and we choose a safe controlled approach. Our team uses calibrated cleaners and protective measures to undo the damage without causing further harm. The result is a surface that looks clean and clear again while maintaining the structural integrity of the material.

Stencil art and large murals

Businesses sometimes commission or encounter larger artistic graffiti pieces. Depending on the surface and the artwork we may use gentle cleaning methods or apply a protective coating after removal to prevent future staining. If the artwork is removable we will discuss options with you to preserve the original intent of the piece while restoring a professional business appearance. Our goal is to return your surface to a state that looks intentional and well cared for.

Self adhesive and vinyl signs

Adhesive materials such as vinyl or sticker graffiti require different removal methods. We remove adhesives and residues without tearing the substrate. For larger installations we may employ heat derived softening techniques and solvent based cleaners that are specifically designed for adhesives. The aim is to leave no sticky trace while protecting the underlying material.

Why timely graffiti removal matters for Rotherhithe businesses

Every hour your storefront or office exterior stays covered in graffiti is a missed opportunity and a potential sign of neglect. Delays can attract more vandalism and increase the cost of cleaning since layers may become deeper or porous surfaces may absorb pigment. A clean storefront improves customer confidence and helps deter repeat vandalism by reducing the perceived value of graffiti as a low effort action. In a competitive area like Rotherhithe where footfall is a mix of local residents and visitors along the river, first impressions matter. We help you maintain a professional appearance that supports your brand values and keeps premises inviting for customers and staff alike.

Our process for commercial graffiti removal in Rotherhithe

We work with you from the initial call through to a finished result. Here is what you can expect when you choose DUA London Graffiti Removal for a commercial site in Rotherhithe.

Step one: rapid response and site assessment

Time is of the essence when graffiti appears on a shopfront or office facade. We respond quickly, usually the same day, to perform a site assessment. Our trained technicians identify the surface material and the type of graffiti. We determine whether the affected area can be cleaned using non invasive methods and we select the most suitable products for removal. We also take a hazard note for any potential slip or contamination risk in case of rainfall or street activity.

Step two: containment and protection

Before any cleaning begins we establish containment to stop pigment migration to nearby surfaces. This is especially important on mixed material properties such as brick along with metal or glass. We protect nearby doors and windows and we place warning signs or temporary barriers if needed. Our team works efficiently and keeps the bulk of the cleaning confined to the affected area so normal business operations can resume as quickly as possible.

Step three: surface specific removal

We apply cleaning systems designed for the surface we are treating. Brick and render surfaces receive a gentle yet thorough cleaning with low pressure water and specialty cleaners that lift paint without dissolving the substrate. Glass surfaces receive methods that preserve clarity and avoid scratches. Metal surfaces get cleaners that prevent corrosion and leave a clean finish that matches the surrounding panels. For acid etched areas we proceed with calibrated processes and careful rinsing to restore transparency and surface integrity.

Step four: rinsing and inspection

After the cleaning phase we perform a thorough rinse and inspect the surface from multiple angles. We check for any ghosting or faint stains that may remain and we address them promptly. On porous surfaces we may apply a light wash again to ensure uniform appearance. We never leave a treated area with residue that could encourage future staining.

Step five: protective coatings and aftercare

In many cases applying a protective coating is a smart move. Anti graffiti coatings create a barrier that makes future graffiti easier to remove and helps surfaces resist staining. We offer a range of coatings tailored to the surface and the expected exposure to risks such as rain spray or efflorescence on brick. We discuss coating options with you and explain how they can reduce maintenance costs over time. If you decide against coatings we still guarantee a clean finish with no compromise on quality.

Step six: documentation and follow up

We provide a full written report of the work completed including what products were used and the surface condition after cleaning. If you have a building manager or a letting agent we can supply copies for your records. We also offer a follow up visit if you notice any staining during heavy rain or adverse weather. We stand by our work and we want you to feel confident about the result long after we leave.

Health and safety and environmental responsibilities

Commercial graffiti removal can involve chemicals and high traffic environments. Our team follows strict health and safety guidelines to protect workers and occupants. We carry public liability insurance and our work practices comply with local regulations. We use eco friendly cleaners where possible and we manage waste responsibly. We ensure that the cleaning products we use are safe for the surface and for people who use the building after cleaning. If you have concerns about fumes or odours we discuss low odour options that keep disruption to a minimum.

Preventing future graffiti and protecting your property

Removing graffiti is the first step. Preventing it from returning is equally important. We offer practical prevention strategies tailored to your property. These include high quality anti graffiti coatings that repel paint and make future cleaning faster and easier. We can also advise on improved lighting, better surveillance and clear sightlines that deter vandals. In busy commercial zones around Rotherhithe there is a range of opportunities to improve security without expensive renovations. Our team can help you identify the most cost effective measures for your building and budget.
