Specialist capabilities for central London surfaces

Charing Cross properties feature a mix of brickwork limestone render timber panels glass metal and painted surfaces.

Our team uses appropriate protective gear and ensures surrounding areas are kept safe for pedestrians and staff during the cleanup.

What graffiti we remove in Charing Cross

Traditional graffiti

Traditional graffiti includes spray paint tags throw ups and larger mural installations that have been used to mark a property or convey a message. We remove these using tested cleaning processes that protect the surface. The exact method depends on the substrate and the age of the paint. We often start with targeted degreasers and power washing in combination with controlled agitation to lift pigment while preserving the integrity of the wall.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is more challenging because the acid may have etched into the surface leaving a permanent mark or hazy impression. This form of graffiti requires specialized chemical treatments and careful mechanical intervention. We assess the depth of the etch and select an approach that effectively reduces visibility without damaging the substrate. We also discuss long term protection options such as anti graffiti coatings to deter future incidents.

Stencil and sticker removal

Stencils and stickers can attract additional graffiti over time. We remove stencil patterns and sticker residues thoroughly to ensure a clean uniform finish. This is important for preserving the aesthetic integrity of historic facades and public property.

Graffiti on glass and signage

Glass and signage present unique challenges because the graffiti can be etched into the surface or adhere to a laminated layer. We use glass friendly cleaners and where necessary apply film products that aid in safe removal. We also take care with signage to avoid impact on readability and branding.

Graffiti on textured surfaces

Bricks roughcast limestone and other textured surfaces require careful cleaning to avoid micro damage that can worsen the appearance. Our technicians tailor a plan to the texture to achieve a uniform clean with minimal risk of pitting or abrasion.

Promoting safety and reducing vandalism

Graffiti can sometimes accompany other anti social behaviour. Quick removal signals ownership and care for the area and can reduce repeat vandalism. We understand the psychology of vandalism and tailor our approach to help deter future incidents in collaboration with property owners and managers.
