Types of graffiti we remove in Farringdon

Graffiti comes in many forms. In Farringdon we commonly deal with traditional spray painted graffiti on brick render and timber along with vandalism on signage and metal surfaces. We also remove more stubborn graffiti stains caused by paint markers and graffiti pens and we tackle acid etched graffiti which penetrates into the surface creating a permanent looking mark. Understanding the type of graffiti is essential because it determines the cleaning method and the timeframe for a successful removal.

Traditional spray paint graffiti

This is the most common type of graffiti we encounter in Farringdon. Fresh spray paint is easier to remove than paint that has aged and weathered. Fresh graffiti on most substrates can be lifted quickly with industry standard removal techniques together with a gentle cleaning regimen. We use approved cleaning agents and carefully selected brushes or low pressure methods to avoid damage to the surface while effectively erasing the tags or artwork.

Tagging and tramp graffiti

Tagging refers to short signatures or initials sprayed or drawn across surfaces. In central London tagging can spread across brick render and signage. Our approach is to remove these marks with controlled cleaning methods ensuring we do not cause wipe off of neighbouring coatings. We keep the lines crisp and the area uniform which helps to restore a professional appearance.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is more challenging. It involves chemical etching where acids have left marks on stone brick or ceramic surfaces. This type of graffiti can dull the texture and permanently discolor the surface. Our specialists assess the etching depth and substrate before selecting a removal method. In many cases we employ a combination of mechanical cleaning and controlled chemical treatments to lift the etched marks while protecting the integrity of the material. The result is a cleaner surface that looks as close as possible to its original state without causing surface abrasion or damage.

Graffiti on signage and glass

Signs and glass require careful handling. We often remove graffiti from glass doors shopfronts and interior glass partitions without leaving streaks or scratches. For metal signs we use non abrasive methods that preserve the finish while removing graffiti ink and paint. We know that signage is a first impression for customers so we ensure the removal is thorough and leaves the surface ready for protective coatings if requested.

Surface safe methods

Protection of the underlying material is essential. We avoid aggressive methods that could cause pitting or weakening of brick render or stone. Instead we select chemical cleaners approved for use on the specific substrate along with mechanical methods such as soft brushing or low pressure washing when appropriate. For delicate surfaces we may use poultices gentle peels or encapsulation approaches to lift the graffiti without harming the substrate. After removal we reseal or protect the area as needed to extend the results and deter immediate re tagging.

Where possible we choose cleaners with lower environmental impact and ensure safe disposal of wash water and residues in accordance with local regulations.

Method selection and test patch

Before performing a full removal we often apply a small test patch to check the reaction of the surface to the chosen cleaning method. This helps prevent unexpected damage and ensures that the main effect will be effective. We always keep you informed about the chosen method and why it is the best fit for your property in Farringdon.
