Types of graffiti we remove in Derry Downs

Graffiti comes in many forms and each type requires a slightly different approach. We are experienced with all common varieties including traditional aerosol graffiti acid etched graffiti and marker pen graffiti. Below you will find a quick guide to the types we encounter most often in Derry Downs and how we handle them.

Traditional graffiti

This is the most common form a spray painted tag or piece on walls bins or signage. Traditional graffiti can be layered over time with multiple colours and styles. We use specialised graffiti removal solutions and mechanical methods when needed to lift the paint from the surface. Most traditional graffiti can be removed without damaging the underlying material when treated promptly and by trained technicians.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti poses a tougher challenge because the graffiti is burned into the surface finish leaving a permanent marking that is difficult to remove with standard cleaners. Our technicians use a careful sequence of chemical treatments gentle mechanical action and where appropriate resurfacing in order to restore any etched or pitted areas. We take extra care with older bricks sandstone or lime based render to preserve historical character while restoring a clean look.

Marker pen graffiti

Marker graffiti can be stubborn especially on smooth surfaces like glass metal and plastic. We have effective methods for breaking down marker inks and penetrating pigments to lift them cleanly from the surface. After treatment we often apply a protective coating to discourage future marks and make future clean ups easier.

Cosmetic and vandal resistant coatings

In some cases we may recommend applying a clear protective coating after removal to help repel fresh graffiti. These coatings create a barrier that makes tagging easier to remove in the future saving you time and money in the long run. We discuss coating options with you before any work begins so you can choose the approach that best suits your building and budget.

Special surfaces and surfaces with coatings

Some surfaces such as decorative stone lime plaster or highly polished metal require special care. Our technicians assess each material and adapt our method to protect the surface while achieving a clean result. We never apply a one size fits all approach. Our goal is to maintain the appearance and integrity of the surface while removing the graffiti effectively.
