Because many commercial properties in Shoreditch have sensitive surfaces such as glass metal and untreated brick we tailor our methods to protect the underlying substrate while restoring the appearance of the building. We routinely handle graffiti on shopfronts signage windows doors and walls. We also manage graffiti on public realm features that may belong to property management companies councils or private landlords.

Types of graffiti we remove in Shoreditch

Graffiti comes in several forms and each type requires a slightly different approach. In Shoreditch we commonly see:

• Traditional graffiti Spray painted letters or images created with aerosol cans. These can be layered and may require solvent based cleaners or specialized coatings to remove without damaging the surface.
• Tagging Quick signatures or initials often done at height or on signs and surfaces. Tagging is usually a fast clean up but can be stubborn if the paint has adhered or if it has weathered.
• Stencil graffiti Designs produced with stencils which can leave crisp shapes that may be hard to remove from certain materials.
• Acid etched graffiti A more aggressive form where acids or caustic cleaners etch into glass or stone. This requires careful techniques to avoid further damage and to restore clarity.
• Sticker bombing and paste ups Decals and posters that require solvent based removal and surface protection to prevent residue and staining.
• Graffiti on signage and windows We have experience cleaning signage and glass without scratching or weakening the seal around the glass.

Our approach is to assess the surface first and then tailor the cleaning method. We avoid aggressive abrasive techniques on fragile surfaces and we plan for a quick response that minimises downtime for a busy Shoreditch business.

Our commercial graffiti removal process for Shoreditch properties

1. Initial contact and quick assessment

We respond quickly to Shoreditch clients. A business may experience graffiti during operating hours or after dark. Our first step is to understand the surface type the extent of graffiti and any sensitive areas such as display windows or security features. We also confirm access and any site specific rules. If you need a quote right away you can start with our instant online quote and then we can confirm details by phone or email.

2. Site survey and plan

For larger commercial properties we perform a short site survey to identify the most effective cleaning method. The surface type is critical. Brick can respond well to specialized cleaners while glass signage may require milder solvents to preserve clarity. We map out containment measures to keep runoff away from customers and staff and to avoid disturbing nearby pedestrians. If graffiti is on a historic or listed surface we will adjust the method to protect the integrity of the material while achieving full removal.

3. Surface protection and preparation

Before cleaning we place protective coverings on nearby plants and non affected areas. We also set up signs and barriers if required to ensure safety. Surface preparation reduces the chance of staining and ensures better results. In some situations we may apply a pre treatment to soften the paint and make removal easier without excessive scrubbing.

4. Cleaning methods tailored to the surface

We have a range of cleaning methods optimized for Shoreditch surfaces including brick render glass metal and timber. Our team selects the method that delivers the best result while minimising risk to the underlying material. Common methods include specialized paint removers super sub surfaces and controlled heat or pressure if appropriate. When dealing with acid etched graffiti on glass we take particular care to protect the edges and use techniques that restore clarity without creating new micro scratches.

5. Residue removal and finish

After the paint or adhesive is removed we clean the surface and inspect for any remaining traces. If necessary we apply a gentle post clean to ensure the finish is uniform. In some cases we apply a protective coating to help prevent future graffiti or to ease any future maintenance. We will advise you on the best long term approach based on the surface and location in Shoreditch.

6. Final checks and client sign off

We perform a final walkthrough with you to confirm that the job has met expectations. We provide a written summary of the work performed and any recommendations for ongoing maintenance. If you have monitoring or routine cleaning requirements we can discuss a plan that fits your property management schedule.
