Graffiti Removal In The City of London, Within Three Hours
All day. Every day. Within three hours, across the whole square mile and the lanes and courts running off it.
Our vans generate their own water and power, so no building is asked for a supply and nobody is taken off a reception desk to walk a contractor through a permit system. Behind controlled entrances that is frequently the only reason a clean happens the same day.
Where a surface needs hours under a poultice before it releases the mark, that is said when we quote and written in as two attendances from the outset.

How We Price Your Job
| Inside the figure | Sitting outside it |
|---|---|
| A trial patch out of sight and the settings that follow from it | Access equipment above the first floor, passed on at cost |
| Masking sized for where residue will actually travel | Footway licences and pedestrian management on a busy route |
| Treatment, including a second visit where the surface needed one | Traffic management where a plinth faces the carriageway |
| Containment and recovery of run-off over a paved or gully area | Anything the photographs could not have shown, agreed with you first |
| Before and after photographs and the settings recorded | Conservator involvement where a surface is beyond cleaning |
Quoting is free and no surveyor is sent ahead, which behind a City access procedure usually saves the better part of a week. What actually shifts a figure is set out in factors that affect the cost of graffiti removal and how much graffiti removal costs in London.

Acid Etched Glass: Restore, Do Not Replace
Why waste £1,000s replacing vandalised glass windows? We provide perfect same-day restoration for less than 50% of the replacement cost.
Etching is neither dirt nor a film, which is exactly why a glass cleaner does nothing to it. Acid and blades take material out of the pane and leave a shallow recess in the glass itself, so there is nothing sitting on the surface to be lifted and scrubbing harder only costs you an afternoon.
Polishing works the opposite way round, taking the surrounding surface down level with the damage. The pane stays glazed in, the job is normally finished inside a day, and a lobby screen never has to be boarded while a replacement is made. See acid etched graffiti removal.
Surfaces We Clean In The City of London
The square mile runs on Portland stone and polished granite, and both punish the wrong method in ways that cannot be undone.
| Surface | How we handle it |
|---|---|
| Limestone and Portland ashlar | We work on dwell rather than force, and match the cleaned area to the bays either side of it rather than to clean stone |
| Polished granite plinths and entrance surrounds | We use short dwell gel only, because a dulled panel cannot be re-polished while it is fixed in place |
| Bronze doors, plaques and fittings | We trial out of sight and use the mildest thing that works, since a cut patina is permanent and reads from across the street |
| Unpainted brick and its mortar joints | We keep steam off the pointing, which is softer than the units and always gives way first |
| Cast iron railings, bollards and gates | We clean so the existing paint scheme survives the work completely intact |
| Powder coated metal doors, louvres and barriers | We use dry ice or gel and never cut the coating, because a scratched barrier corrodes from the cut outwards |
Who We Work For
Pret, Chestertons, Iceland, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, StayCity, Ibis Hotel, Kwik Fit and WeWork are among our clients, alongside City estate teams, institutional freeholders, managing agents and the independent operators in the lanes.
Google shows us at 5.0 across 42 reviews. Cover runs to £10m public liability and the certificate accompanies every quotation as standard, because in an estates team the person approving the spend is never the person who found the mark.

How It Works
- Call us or send two photographs, one close and one of the whole elevation.
- We establish the material and discount every method that would damage it.
- A committed price arrives the same day, with the treatment written beside it.
- We attend within three hours where it is urgent, or at the hour the building prefers.
- A trial goes on somewhere concealed and dries fully before anything visible is touched.
- The mark is treated, run-off contained and the working area reinstated.
- Matched photographs and an invoice stating elevation and treatment arrive that day.
For Facilities Managers And Managing Agents
On a managed City building the file matters as much as the wall, because the person signing it off will be reading it long after everyone has left site.
- £10m public liability evidence issued with the quotation rather than on request
- RAMS written around your actual elevation and the access method it needs
- COSHH data for every product proposed for that particular surface
- Invoices naming elevation and method, drafted to survive audit and recover through a service charge
- Purchase order references carried from quotation through works to settlement
- A photographic completion report from fixed positions for the building record
Where liability sits between freeholder, occupier and tenant is unpicked in liability issues and who is responsible for graffiti removal, and whether to claim in does insurance cover graffiti removal in London.
For Independent Traders And Single Sites
An independent shop, bar or cafe in one of the lanes has no service charge to absorb this and no estates team to escalate to. You open, the frontage is marked, and the decision is yours within minutes.
Trade on, photograph it, and ring us. A single frontage is quoted as its own job rather than as a thinned-down estate rate, and we run early mornings and Sundays so it costs you nothing in trade. Those frontages are often cleaner than the towers around them for exactly that reason: one person decides and it happens the same morning.

Anti Graffiti Coatings
Sacrificial and permanent are the two families, and they solve different problems.
A sacrificial system lifts away carrying the paint with it and is then reinstated, which suits a surface hit often enough that turnaround beats the consumable. A permanent film stays on the wall and lets a later mark be wiped off without chemistry, which suits shutters and service doors you would rather stop treating. Neither belongs on Portland stone, polished granite or bronze, where a film changes how the surface takes light and the difference is visible from the pavement. The two are separated out in anti graffiti coatings, what they are and how they work.
Where We Cover In The City of London
Threadneedle Street and Old Broad Street. Gracechurch Street and Fenchurch Street. Leadenhall Street and Lime Street. Queen Victoria Street and Cannon Street. King William Street, Lombard Street, Aldersgate Street and Wood Street. Along with the lanes, courts, goods entrances, plinths and bin stores behind them, which take most of the marking.
Why City of London Owners Call Us
Seven days a week, three hours to site, our own water and power, £10m public liability, and nobody from your side needed on site.
The Corporation has already written down the thing most contractors get wrong here. Its own public realm materials specification states that power washers tend to push dirt into stone rather than lift it off, and that City granite is sealed precisely to stop that happening. So a jet wash on a sealed plinth removes the seal the Corporation paid for and drives the mark further in. Its heritage guidance goes further and treats the weathered surface of an old building as irreplaceable in itself, which means a panel cleaned brighter than its neighbours is a second problem rather than a finished job.
What a mark costs a business while it stays up is broken down in hidden costs of not removing graffiti promptly.

City of London Graffiti Removal: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does graffiti removal cost in the City?
The material sets it, and weathered Portland has nothing in common with a coated barrier. Two photographs bring a committed figure back today, at no charge.
How soon can you attend?
Ordinarily within three hours of the call, seven days a week, across EC1 to EC4. Most jobs are completed on that same visit.
Do you work outside office hours?
Yes, at the ordinary rate. On a City entrance a Sunday or an early start is frequently the only genuinely quiet window.
Does anybody need to be on site?
No. We arrive with our own water and power, take nothing from the building, and send photographs once the work is finished.
Can you price it from photographs?
Yes, and behind a permit system it saves days. Two images and the address are enough, with no survey fee attached.
Is pressure washing really worse on stone?
Yes, and the Corporation says so in its own materials notes: power washers tend to push dirt into the stone rather than remove it from the face.
Why can a dulled granite plinth not be repaired?
Re-polishing needs heavy equipment working against a flat reference, so it cannot be matched in place, and a part-polished panel looks worse than a dull one.
Can etched glass be polished rather than replaced?
Usually. The pane stays fitted, the work is generally done inside the day, and it costs well below a new unit and its installation.
What insurance do you carry?
£10m public liability, issued with the quotation as standard, along with RAMS written for the specific elevation and access method.
Who do I report a marked monument to?
The Corporation, which owns and maintains the monuments and street furniture. Those are reported rather than cleaned by a private contractor.
The goods entrance keeps getting tagged. What helps?
Clearing it quickly every time and lighting the recess rather than the lane. Where it continues we will price a coating for that doorway.
