Types of graffiti we remove in Barnsbury
Graffiti comes in many forms and each surface type may require a slightly different approach. In Barnsbury we routinely remove the following:
- Traditional spray paint tags and throw ups on brick render timber metal and glass
- Stencil graffiti which often requires careful removal so that underlying textures are not damaged
- Acid etched graffiti which can penetrate into the surface and require specialised cleaning combined with protective layers
- Stencil murals that include multiple colours and fine detail requiring careful colour matching and cleaning
- Vandal engravings in glass or metal surfaces which may need a tailored solution to preserve the surface finish
- Graffiti framed by weathered surfaces where cleaning must be matched to existing textures and tones
Our staff are trained to identify the surface type and the best removal approach. We select products that are effective yet gentle enough to protect the integrity of the substrate. For brickwork we often perform a careful cleaning followed by repaint if the surface has absorbed pigments since paint can be the most practical long term solution. For metal we use surfaces specific cleaners and protective coatings to prevent future adhesion of paint. For glass we choose chemical free or low residue products to avoid film or streaks. And for wood we balance removal with preserving the wood’s finish to maintain the aesthetic value of original features.
Our approach to graffiti removal in Barnsbury
We have a simple philosophy when it comes to graffiti removal in Barnsbury we remove graffiti without creating new problems and we keep you informed every step of the way. Here is how our process works from start to finish.
- Initial assessment on site to determine surface type extent of graffiti and appropriate removal method
- Pre treatment to loosen the paint and breakdown spray residues
- Application of cleaning agents appropriate for the surface and graffiti type
- Rinsing and inspection to ensure all pigment is removed and the surface is ready for the next step
- Surface specific finishing which may include repaint touching up or protective coatings
- Final verification with you to ensure complete satisfaction and arrange removing any waste safely
We treat every site with respect and ensure our access equipment is suitable for the space. Many Barnsbury properties are within tight spaces near close by footpaths or busy streets. Our team plans the work to minimise disruption to neighbours and to keep pedestrians safe during the operation. We keep noise to a minimum and we tidy up after the job is finished leaving a neat end result that reflects the high standards of DUA London Graffiti Removal.
Surface preparation and matching colour when repainting is required
In some situations the most practical solution after graffiti removal is to repaint or touch up a surface to match the surrounding area. Our Barnsbury team are experienced at colour matching to preserve the look of heritage brickwork or modern façades. We use high quality paints that resist weathering and we coordinate with you to select a shade that blends in or stands out depending on your preference. We know Barnsbury properties and we know how to keep the result durable against rain heat and pollution over time.
Why our methods are effective and safe
We take a pragmatic approach to graffiti removal that balances effectiveness with surface safety. Our techniques are designed to minimize damage to the substrate and to avoid leaving behind residues that could attract new graffiti quickly. We use proven removal formulations which are safe for humans and pets when used as directed and we follow all local guidelines for waste disposal and environmental impact. When dealing with acid etched graffiti which has penetrated the surface we offer a combination of chemical treatment and protective sealing tailored to each material. Our aim is a clean surface that remains easy to maintain and resistant to future tagging while keeping the original character of your property intact.
We are transparent about what you can expect. For most standard graffiti removal projects on external brick or render we can deliver a thorough clean in a single visit. If a more complex surface or extensive tagging is present we will clearly outline the steps and the timeline so you know exactly what is happening and when. Our Barnsbury team prides itself on practical clear communication you can rely on.
Safety and professional standards

When we operate on any property we implement safe access procedures protect bystanders and ensure the least disruption possible to neighbours and local businesses. Our equipment is regularly inspected and our products are selected for safety and environmental considerations.

Pricing and transparency
We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees. When you ask for a quote we assess the surface type the size of the area the level of graffiti and the accessibility. We then provide a straightforward quotation that covers the cleaning the surface preparation and any follow on work such as repainting or protective coating installation if needed. We will explain any potential variables up front so you know exactly where your money goes. If the job involves multiple surfaces or areas we can arrange a staged pricing plan to fit your budget and your schedule. We will always discuss options including anti graffiti coatings as a long term preventative measure which can reduce future maintenance costs and keep surfaces looking clean for longer.
Prevention and long term protection
Deterring graffiti in Barnsbury is about a practical plan as well as a responsive service. After a successful removal we may recommend protective coatings that act as barriers to paint adhesion. For brick or render surfaces a topical anti graffiti coating can create a smooth non porous layer that makes future graffiti easier to remove and reduces the need for abrasive cleaning. On metal glass and wood surfaces we may apply compatible sealants or coatings to protect the finish while still preserving the appearance. These coatings can be a smart investment for property owners in Barnsbury who want ongoing protection with minimal maintenance.

When our team arrives we will greet you and confirm the scope of work. We will show you the areas we plan to treat and explain the steps we will take.

If a repaint is required we will discuss colour matching and we can arrange a convenient date for the final finish.
