What types of graffiti we remove in Charlton

Graffiti comes in many forms and surfaces. At DUA London Graffiti Removal we work with all common types found in Charlton. Our work includes traditional spray paint graffiti as well as more challenging forms such as acid etched graffiti. We explain what these terms mean and why certain methods are chosen for specific surfaces.

Traditional graffiti

Traditional graffiti is usually spray paint or marker based. It can be on brick, plaster, wood, metal or glass. The removal approach depends on the surface and the color of the paint. We use a combination of careful chemical treatments and mechanical methods to lift the paint from the surface without causing damage. On porous surfaces like brick or concrete we often start with a chemical cleaner that softens the paint and then follow with a gentle power wash or surface brushing. On smoother surfaces such as glass metal or sealed plaster we tailor the method to avoid scratching or dulling finishes.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is more persistent and difficult to remove because the acid physically etches into the surface creating a permanent mark. Typical targets include concrete, stone, or glass where the etching forms white or pale staining that can remain even after cleaning. Our technicians are trained to use specialist products and controlled abrasion or resurfacing techniques where necessary. We always start with testing on a small inconspicuous area to ensure surface integrity and to determine the safest and most effective method for full removal. We aim to restore the original appearance while maintaining the surface’s structure and texture.

Stencil and tag work

Stencil art and tagging are common in busy urban areas. While the design may be appealing to some, property owners often want quick removal to restore a professional appearance. We approach stencil and tag removal with precision to avoid spreading the paint or causing more damage to the surface. This typically involves careful chemical application and controlled cleaning to lift the stencil ink or paint from the surface without leaving ghosting or residue behind.

Signage and public surfaces

Public signs, notice boards, kiosks and metal railings also attract graffiti. We treat these with care to avoid degrading the metal, plastic or paint finishes. On signage we frequently use non abrasive cleaning methods to maintain legibility and reduce the risk of long term damage. After cleaning we can apply protective coatings that help reduce future tagging and simplify any potential future maintenance.

Graffiti on glass

For glass surfaces graffiti can be more challenging because the cleaner must penetrate a smoother, less porous surface. We use a targeted approach that removes paint without etching or clouding the glass. In some cases we may need to combine glass polish steps with chemical cleaners to restore clarity. We take special care with glazing to avoid distortion or scratches that could affect visibility or safety regulations.

Our process for Charlton properties

We follow a simple and effective process that ensures you understand what happens at every stage. Our aim is to deliver a clean surface that looks as good as new while respecting the property and surrounding environment in Charlton.

Initial assessment and surface preparation

When you contact us we arrange a quick on site assessment. Our technician will inspect the graffiti to identify the type of paint or etching and determine the best removal method based on surface material and condition. We also check for any potential damage or staining that may require additional work. After the assessment we inform you of the plan, expected timeline and the price. We may seal off the area to protect pedestrians and nearby plants before work begins.

Protecting surrounding areas

Before cleaning begins we take steps to protect surrounding surfaces. This includes covering nearby plants and landscaping, masking adjacent windows and doors and using drop cloths to prevent overspray on adjacent properties. We understand that Charlton is a mixed use area with homes and businesses close to one another and we take care to work cleanly and respectfully.

Removal method

Our removal method is chosen based on the surface involved. For brick and stone we rely on safe chemical cleaners and controlled gentle abrasion where required. For glass and metal we may use solvent based cleaners coupled with careful brushing and heat if appropriate. We avoid aggressive methods that could damage textures or cause surface pitting. In all cases we aim to lift the graffiti with minimal impact on the surface and preserve the area for long term durability.

Rinse and inspection

After the cleaning is complete we thoroughly rinse the area to remove residues and contaminants. We perform a second inspection to confirm that all graffiti has been removed and that there are no faint marks left behind. If any minor staining remains we discuss options for a follow up treatment with you and schedule if needed.

Aftercare and protective options

Post cleanup we offer protective coatings to reduce future graffiti adhesion. These coatings create a barrier that makes graffiti easier to remove in the future. We explain the differences between sacrificial and non sacrificial coatings and help you decide which option best suits your property and budget. We also provide advice on ongoing maintenance and the best way to keep surfaces in Charlton looking clean for longer.

What surfaces do we work on in Charlton

Graffiti can affect a wide range of surfaces and we tailor our approach to each one. In Charlton we frequently encounter brick and stone walls, concrete surfaces, metal railings, glass storefronts, timber doors and painted surfaces. Each surface requires a different cleaning solution and technique to avoid damage while delivering complete graffiti removal. We have the right tools, cleaners and protective coatings to handle the typical surfaces found in Charlton properties. You do not need to worry about trying to remove graffiti yourself with harsh chemicals. Our professionals know how to approach each surface safely and effectively.

Brick and stone

Brick and stone surfaces are common in Charlton. They can hold graffiti deeply within pores if left untreated. Our method for brick and stone combines surface safe cleaners and controlled abrasion as needed to lift the paint without damaging the mortar joints or the texture. We take care not to strip off the surface facing or create new micro pitting that would worsen the area over time.

Glass and glazing

Glass storefronts and windows present unique challenges. We use specialists cleaners and careful removal to avoid scratches or etching and we can advise on protective coatings for longer term clarity and easier maintenance.

Metal and painted surfaces

Metal railings and painted surfaces require particular care to preserve the underlying metal and finish. We avoid aggressive scrubbing which can cause micro scratches or corrosion and instead apply appropriate cleaning methods that preserve metal integrity while removing the graffiti effectively.

Timber and porous surfaces

Timber doors and porous timber faces require careful cleaning to avoid damage to the grain and to prevent moisture from seeping behind the surface. We tailor the cleaning approach and use protective coatings when appropriate to discourage future graffiti persistence.

Anti graffiti protection and long term maintenance

One of the best ways to reduce future graffiti problems is to apply anti graffiti protection after cleaning. There are two main types: sacrificial coatings and non sacrificial coatings. Sacrificial coatings are removed during graffiti cleaning so you can simply re apply. Non sacrificial coatings stay on the surface and allow easy removal of graffiti in future cleanings with minimal effort. We explain the differences and recommend the best option based on the surface type, location, traffic, and maintenance plan for Charlton properties. Our team can help you choose a product that balances cost with long term benefits and we can schedule periodic inspections to ensure the coating remains effective.

In addition to coatings we offer maintenance plans to keep surfaces looking their best. Regular washing schedules can prevent staining and reduce the time needed for future cleanings. We can design a plan that fits your budget and the needs of your Charlton site and we can adjust as the seasons change or as conditions in your area evolve.
