Step one – quick assessment and quotation

When you first contact us we ask for a few details about the property, the surface involved and the type of graffiti. We can often provide a same day quote after a quick visual assessment or a photo review. If the surface is delicate or sensitive your consent to proceed with a tested method is required before any work begins.

Step two – site protection and preparation

Graffiti removal is about protecting the surrounding areas as well as restoring the surface. We carefully cover nearby plants, windows, doors and any decorative elements. We also protect pedestrians and customers when the work is carried out on shopfronts or public spaces. We identify the substrate and plan the safest cleaning method. If acid etched graffiti is present on glass or stone we use specialized approaches that target the marks while preserving the underlying material.

Step three – choosing the right removal method

The method depends on the surface and the graffiti type. For traditional spray paint on brick or render we often use a combination of high quality cleaning agents, water pressure and careful manual work. For delicate surfaces like natural stone or historic brick we use gentler techniques and consult with you to avoid any risk of damage. Acid etched graffiti requires different approaches such as precise chemical treatment and careful polishing to restore clarity without removing the protective patina of the surface. Our team will explain the chosen method and why it is the best option for your property.

Step four – removal and cleaning

We perform the removal with a focus on thoroughness and surface care. Our technicians work systematically to remove all traces of graffiti. We monitor the surface for any changes in texture or colour and adjust the approach as needed. After cleaning we examine the surface from different angles to ensure the final result is even and clean. If the property is in a busy area we coordinate with you to minimize disturbance and maintain a neat site until the job is completed.

Step five – aftercare and prevention options

Once the graffiti is removed we discuss aftercare. In many cases we can apply a protective anti graffiti coating that makes future cleaning quicker and easier. We also offer advice on choosing murals or coatings that suit the property while maintaining an authentic appearance. If you manage a multi tenant building we can schedule regular maintenance visits to keep the facade free from vandalism and reduce long term costs.

Step six – final verification and documentation

We perform a final walk around with you to confirm satisfaction. We document the work, take notes about any surface restoration needs and provide care instructions. If there is a plan to share a program or marketing materials with tenants or customers we can supply a brief summary of the work for inclusion in notices or reports.

Types of graffiti we remove in Barnet

We handle a wide range of graffiti issues. Understanding the type of graffiti helps determine the best removal approach and reduces the risk of surface damage. Here are the main categories we encounter in Barnet and around London.

• Traditional graffiti This is the common spray painted tagging or lettering. It often covers walls, shutters and public surfaces. Our team uses methods that target the pigment without aggressive abrasion to the substrate.
• Throw ups Faster simple letters or shapes that cover larger areas. These can be stubborn when they penetrate porous surfaces. We remove them with a careful combination of cleaning agents and controlled washing.
• Stencils and murals with spray paint Murals can be more challenging depending on the level of detail and the type of paint used. We work carefully to preserve artistic elements that may remain visible after cleaning.
• Acid etched graffiti This form penetrates glass and stone surfaces resulting in clouded or etched marks. It requires precise chemical treatment and sometimes gentle polishing to restore clarity. We prioritise safety and surface integrity while delivering excellent results.
• Residue and staining After removing paint there can be residual colour on the surface. We perform additional cleaning steps to restore uniform colour and finish.
• Vandal etching on metal and glass We use specialist cleaners and controlled application to avoid pitting or dulling the surface while removing the etching marks.

Preventive options to reduce future graffiti in Barnet

Prevention saves time and money in the long run. We offer practical steps that property owners can take to minimise future graffiti while preserving the look of the building. Here are some options and tips you can consider in Barnet.

• Anti graffiti coatings These protective layers make graffiti easier to remove in the future by preventing the paint from penetrating deeply into the surface. We can apply a coating that suits your surface type and environment.
• Protective mural projects If you own commercial space, a commissioned mural can act as a deterrent to vandalism. When well designed it creates a positive focal point and reduces the likelihood of tagging elsewhere on the surface.
• Improved lighting and visibility Adequate lighting and clear sightlines can discourage vandalism on external walls and alleyways. Lighting combined with regular maintenance improves security.
• Community engagement Involving local businesses and residents in maintaining the area can create a shared sense of pride and reduce vandalism over time.
• Rapid response plans Establishing a quick call out process ensures graffiti is removed when it happens rather than waiting for a scheduled maintenance window.
