Upper Norwood at a glance and why graffiti removal matters for commercial properties

Upper Norwood sits between Crystal Palace and Norwood with Westow Hill and the Crystal Palace Triangle acting as busy retail and business hubs. The area features a mix of independent shops uh office spaces and residential blocks that often share the same street frontages with commercial units. Graffiti vandalism happens for a variety of reasons from tag based street art to opportunistic damage on shopfronts or office blocks. When graffiti is left untreated it can create negative perceptions deterring customers and visitors which in turn can impact footfall lease renewals and perceived property value. Clean attractive surfaces signal to customers and tenants that a business cares about its environment and safety which helps create a positive first impression.

We understand the unique challenges of Upper Norwood including the busy nature of Westow Street the pedestrian flow around Crystal Palace Park and the way signage and glass surfaces can be targeted for graffiti attacks. Our teams are familiar with the area and the typical materials involved in commercial sites here including brickwork render metal signage glass and painted facades.

Common types of graffiti we remove from commercial properties in Upper Norwood

Traditional spray paint graffiti

Traditional graffiti is usually sprayed onto surfaces using cans of paint. It commonly appears on shopfronts brick walls pedestrian barriers and metal shutters. The bright colours bold lines and stylised lettering can be stubborn especially when left untreated for days or weeks. Our trained technicians use a combination of high quality graffiti removal solvents pressure washing where appropriate and in some cases paint over to restore the surface. We select the safest method for the material and colour of your property to preserve the underlying surface while removing the visible graffiti.

Acid etched and etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is created by applying acids to glass metal or stone surfaces to remove a surface layer and create a permanent mark. This type of graffiti is tougher to remove than spray paint and may require specialised techniques and protective coatings afterwards. Our specialists understand the risks to glass and other sensitive materials and follow strict safety procedures to protect your property and prevent further damage. After removal we may apply protective coatings to reduce the chance of further etching and to ease future maintenance.

Stickers stickers and pasted posters

Pasting is common on commercial properties especially near entrances and public walkways. Our approach includes careful removal without damaging surfaces such as delicate glass or painted walls. We also work with business owners to regenerate the surface to a professional finish after the graffiti is removed.

Graffiti on signage and banners

Signage and banners can suffer from graffiti that covers logos text or branding. In these cases we can clean the sign and if needed replace or refresh the sign face ensuring branding remains crisp and legible. We treat each surface individually to avoid damage to underlying materials and to preserve the integrity of your branding.
