We are equally at home in a bustling commercial street or a quiet residential backstreet which means you can rely on us to handle any job with the same level of attention and care.
Traditional graffiti removal
Traditional graffiti is the kind most people picture with spray paint lines and tags. It sits on exterior walls shutters and metal panels and can be challenging depending on the age and the material. Our team uses a combination of pressure washing chemical cleaners and abrasive methods when appropriate taking care to protect the underlying surface. We aim to remove the graffiti completely leaving no staining and no ghosting effect so the wall looks as good as new.
Acid etched graffiti removal
Acid etched graffiti is more serious because it has etched into the surface by acid or corrosive cleaners leaving a permanent mark that can flare up again if not treated correctly. This type of graffiti needs specialist equipment and careful handling. Our trained technicians assess the depth of the etching and select the correct method to restore the surface. We work with property managers and building owners to ensure the final result is uniform and the texture is preserved while the damage is repaired.
Back to original finish and aftercare
Once the graffiti is removed we apply a protective treatment to discourage future tagging. This may include anti graffiti coatings or clear sealants depending on the surface and the expected exposure. We also provide guidance on how to maintain the area and what signs to watch for that might indicate a fresh tag. Our aim is to deliver a finish that not only looks clean but also resists repeat tagging wherever possible.

Preparation and protection
Before cleaning begins we isolate the area protect nearby windows doors and foliage and set up containment if needed. We take care to avoid damage to adjacent surfaces and to prevent cleaning solutions from entering storm drains or vulnerable plant life. Our team explains any traffic management needs if people will need to pass by the work area and we coordinate with building management to ensure minimal disruption.
Graffiti removal methods
The removal method depends on the surface and the graffiti type. For traditional graffiti we may use pressure washing gentle detergents and specialty cleaners designed for brick timber and metal. Acid etched graffiti requires a more careful approach to avoid further damage while restoring the surface. In some cases a combination of cleaning methods is used to achieve the best result. We always test a small inconspicuous area first to confirm the chosen method will not cause surface degradation. Where necessary we may incorporate light abrasion to remove residual paint while protecting the integrity of the substrate.
Rinse and final checks
After the graffiti is removed we thoroughly rinse the area to remove any residue. We inspect the surface for ghosting residual marks and uniform appearance. If needed we apply a protective coating to reduce the likelihood of future graffiti or make future removal easier. We document the final condition for your records and provide tips on upkeep and maintenance to prolong the results.
Post treatment options
We offer a range of post treatment options including anti graffiti coatings that create a barrier making future graffiti easier to remove. We also offer surface sealing for porous materials like brick to reduce staining from weathering and pollution. We tailor post treatment based on the surface type and the level of exposure to pollution and vandalism. Our recommendations are designed to maximise durability while keeping the building looking its best for as long as possible.
Pricing and transparency
Pricing is clear and straightforward. We provide an upfront written quote with a breakdown of labour materials and any potential extras. There are no hidden charges and no surprise fees at the end of the job. If you need a quote for a larger area or multiple surfaces we can provide a single consolidated quote to simplify budgeting.
