Graffiti Removal In Clerkenwell, Within Three Hours
All day. Every day. Within three hours. That is the promise, and it covers every postcode in Clerkenwell.
Most jobs here are done in a single visit. We arrive self-contained with our own water and power, so we need nothing from your building and nobody has to let us in. On a trading frontage we can be in and out before you open.
Where a surface genuinely needs an overnight treatment we say so up front and price it as two visits from the start, rather than discovering it halfway through.
Recent London Graffiti Removal Projects
What We Remove
- Spray paint tags and throw-ups on any exterior surface
- Marker, ink and shoe polish, including the ones that have soaked in
- Acid etching and scratching on glass and mirrored panels
- Paste-ups, stickers, fly-posting and the adhesive left behind
- Paint from a previous attempt to cover a tag rather than remove it
- High-level work above the first floor, with the access equipment included in the quote
- Anti-graffiti coatings applied afterwards, sacrificial or permanent
We use DOFF and TORC superheated steam systems, dry ice blasting, soda blasting, poultice systems and solvent gels. Which one we bring depends on the surface, and that is decided from your photographs before we load the van.
How We Price Your Job
Every job is priced on its own, from photographs, and you get the figure the same day.
Send one close photograph and one wide one with the address. We come back with a single firm figure rather than a range, and the method named alongside it. That figure holds. It changes only if we find something the photographs could not show, and then we stop and tell you before carrying on rather than adding it to the invoice afterwards.
No site visit, no survey fee, no waiting days for somebody to come and look at a wall. Most competitors send a surveyor before they will commit. We do not need to.
What moves a figure is the surface, the access and how long the mark has been up. A tag reported the day it appears costs less than the same tag after a summer of sun on it, which is the single biggest thing within your control. The full picture is in factors that affect the cost of graffiti removal and how much graffiti removal costs in London.

Acid Etched Glass: Restore, Do Not Replace
Etched or scratched glass is the job Clerkenwell owners most often get wrong, because the first quote they get is for replacement.
Why waste £1,000s replacing vandalised glass windows? We provide perfect same-day restoration for less than 50% of the replacement cost.
Scratching and acid etching are physical damage, so they cannot be cleaned off. They can be polished out. We restore the pane in place, usually the same day, at well under half what a new unit and its installation would cost you. Shopfront glazing, door panels, mirrored surfaces and balustrades are all recoverable in most cases.
Send a photograph with something for scale and we will tell you honestly whether it is restorable or whether replacement really is the answer. How the process works is set out under acid etched graffiti removal.
Surfaces We Clean In Clerkenwell
Clerkenwell throws up more surface types in one street than almost anywhere else in London, and the wrong method on the wrong one is how a tag becomes permanent damage.
| Surface | How we handle it |
|---|---|
| Unpainted brick and stock brick | Superheated steam at low pressure, or a poultice where the mark has soaked in. Never a jet wash |
| Painted brick and smooth render | Solvent gel at a controlled dwell, so the tag lifts and the paint underneath stays put |
| Glazed brick plinths and tiled shopfront bases | Gel only, tested first. Nothing abrasive ever touches a glaze |
| Powder coated metal shutters and doors | Dry ice or gel, which lifts the paint without cutting the coating and letting it rust |
| Painted wood shopfronts and stallrisers | Hand work with a mild gel, masked off from anything alkaline used above |
| Stone, polished granite and cast iron | DOFF or poultice, matched to the finish so the panel still matches its neighbours |
Who We Work For
Pret, Chestertons, Iceland, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, StayCity, Ibis Hotel, Kwik Fit and WeWork all use us, alongside several hundred independent shops, cafes, studios and landlords across London.
We hold a 5.0 rating from 42 Google reviews. We are fully insured with £10m public liability, and we send the certificate with the quotation rather than waiting to be asked, because the person who signs off the work is rarely the person who found the tag.

How It Works
- Send us two photographs or call. One close, one wide. It takes a minute.
- You get a firm price the same day, as one figure rather than a range, with the method named.
- We attend within three hours where you need us that fast, or book a slot that suits your trading hours.
- You get before and after photographs from the same position, plus an invoice naming the elevation and the method.
For Facilities Managers And Managing Agents
If you are instructing on behalf of somebody else, you need paperwork as much as you need a clean wall.
- RAMS and a COSHH pack written for your specific surface, not a generic document with the address changed
- £10m public liability evidenced before attendance, so nobody is vetting us at the door
- Invoices naming the elevation and the method, worded to survive an audit and to recover through a service charge
- Purchase order references carried through quotation, delivery and invoice
- A completion photograph report for your records and for any insurance claim
- Out of hours and weekend attendance at no premium, so a live frontage never has to close
Who actually carries the cost between landlord and tenant is set out under liability issues and who is responsible for graffiti removal, and whether to claim at all under does insurance cover graffiti removal in London.
For Independent Traders And Single Sites
If it is your own shop, you have no service charge and nobody to escalate to. You open at eight, the shutter is tagged, and you have about four minutes to decide.
Trade, photograph it, and call us. We price a single frontage as its own job rather than as a shrunken contract, and we work early mornings and Sundays so the clean costs you no trading hours. If several units on your parade have the same problem, one coordinated visit is cheaper for all of you and we will say so rather than quoting each of you separately.

Anti Graffiti Coatings
If your frontage is hit repeatedly, a coating turns a two-hour job into a twenty-minute one.
Sacrificial coatings come away with the tag and are reapplied afterwards. Permanent systems stay on and let the mark be wiped off. Both work well on shutters, service doors, bin stores and modern render, and neither is right for every surface, so we tell you which yours is. The difference between the two is explained under anti graffiti coatings, what they are and how they work.
Where We Cover In Clerkenwell
Clerkenwell Green, Clerkenwell Close and Clerkenwell Road. St John Street, St John's Square and St John's Lane. Exmouth Market, Rosebery Avenue and Farringdon Road. Cowcross Street, Turnmill Street and Britton Street. Great Sutton Street, Compton Street, Sekforde Street and Albemarle Way. Goswell Road, Old Street and Skinner Street. Plus every alley, court, goods entrance and bin store behind them, which is where most of the marking actually happens.
Why Clerkenwell Owners Call Us
Seven days a week, three hour response, our own water and power, £10m public liability, and nobody from your side needed on site.
We also know what you are allowed to do here, which matters more in EC1 than most places. Across roughly a hundred addresses on St John Street, Compton Street, Cowcross Street and Clerkenwell Green, Islington will not permit a solid shutter or the removal of an original shopfront, so armouring the frontage is not an option open to you. That makes a fast, repeatable clean the only practical answer, and we price knowing you will likely need us again.
Leaving a tag up costs more than removing it, and the arithmetic is under hidden costs of not removing graffiti promptly.
Nearby Areas We Also Cover
We work right across EC1 and its fringes, including Farringdon, Finsbury, Barbican, Aldersgate, Old Street, Islington, Holborn and City of London.

Clerkenwell Graffiti Removal: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does graffiti removal cost in Clerkenwell?
Every job is priced individually, because a tag on a shutter and the same tag on historic brick are different pieces of work. Send two photographs and you get one firm figure the same day, free.
How quickly can you get here?
Usually within three hours of your call, seven days a week, anywhere in EC1R, EC1M or EC1V. Most jobs are finished in that same visit.
Do you work weekends and outside business hours?
Yes, at no premium. On a trading frontage an early morning or a Sunday usually costs your business nothing, so that is when we suggest booking it.
Do I need to be there while you work?
No. We bring our own water and power, need nothing from inside your building, and send before and after photographs when we finish.
Can you give me a price without visiting?
Yes, and we prefer to. Two photographs, one close and one wide, plus the address. You get a firm figure the same day rather than waiting on a survey.
Will it damage the brick, stone or paintwork?
Not if the method matches the surface, which is why we choose it from your photographs first. We never jet wash historic brick, and we never put anything abrasive near a glazed or polished finish.
Can scratched or acid etched glass be saved?
Usually yes. It is polished out rather than cleaned off, in place and normally the same day, for well under half the cost of replacing the pane and refitting it.
Will the council remove it for free?
Islington removes offensive graffiti quickly but treats most other marks on private commercial property differently, and a trading frontage rarely wants to wait. Report it either way, then call us.
Are you insured?
Yes, £10m public liability. We send the certificate with the quotation rather than on request, along with RAMS written for your surface.
Do you work on period and heritage buildings?
Constantly. Most of EC1 is older fabric, and we use DOFF, TORC and poultice systems precisely because they clear a mark without taking the face of the material with it.
What if the same wall keeps getting hit?
Clear it fast every time, because a frontage cleaned within a day stops being a target. Where it keeps happening we will quote for a coating and tell you if yours is not suitable.
