Types of graffiti we remove in Hackney Central

Graffiti comes in many forms. In Hackney Central you might see:

• Traditional spray paint graffiti including tags pieces and throw ups. These are the most common forms and usually respond well to removal using solvent based cleaners or paints depending on the surface.
• Acid etched graffiti a more challenging form where chemical etching penetrates the surface leaving marks that can look like stains. Specialised techniques are used to neutralise the chemical and lift the mark without damaging the substrate.
• Stencil graffiti patterns that may require precise cleaning around sharp edges often on smooth surfaces like metal or glass.
• Sticker and decal graffiti pressure is used to remove adhesives and residues and the surface is treated to ensure there is no residual tackiness that attracts new graffiti.
• Anti graffiti coatings damage if a surface has previously been protected with a coating there may be residue or wear that affects how we approach removal. We assess and treat accordingly.

Each case is unique and we start with a careful assessment to determine the most effective method. Our aim is to restore the surface to as close as possible to its original appearance while ensuring long lasting results. If you have acid etched graffiti we treat it with care using techniques designed to avoid harming the underlying substrate while removing the blemish completely.

How our graffiti removal process works in Hackney Central

Initial contact and site assessment

When you reach out we arrange a convenient time for a brief site survey. Our assessor will walk the area inspect the graffiti evaluate the surface type and identify potential risks such as loose masonry or fragile coatings. We explain the likely remedies and we provide a clear price and a timeline. This visit helps us tailor a plan that fits your property and your schedule.

Preparation and safety measures

Before any cleaning begins we secure the area with appropriate safety barriers and signs if needed. We protect nearby windows and landscaping and we make sure there is no risk to passers by. Our technicians wear protective clothing and use tools that minimise noise and dust where possible. We always clean the area thoroughly after the job to leave a neat finish.

Choosing the right removal technique

Surface type and graffiti type determine the approach. For brickwork and rough surfaces a combination of gentle cleaners and controlled abrasion may be used. For smooth surfaces such as glass metal or polished stone we may use specialised solvents and mechanical removal methods designed to lift the paint without scratching. When acid etched graffiti is present we use targeted chemical processes to neutralise the etch and lift the marks while preserving the substrate.

Application and removal

We apply cleaners in a controlled manner and monitor progress as the graffiti lifts. We remove residues and wipe down the surface ensuring there is no sticky film left behind. If the paint has penetrated porous material we deploy additional passes and possibly a light rewash to guarantee the best result. Throughout the process we keep you informed about what is happening and why each step is necessary.

Rinse and inspect

After the main removal we rinse the area thoroughly to remove cleaning agents and debris. We inspect under various lighting to ensure there are no lingering traces and we check for paint migration. If any minor touch ups are needed we perform them and re check to confirm the finish meets our high standards.

Aftercare and protective options

To extend the life of the clean surface we offer optional protective coatings and anti graffiti sealants. These products create a barrier that makes future vandalism easier to remove reducing the time and cost of future cleanups. We discuss these options with you and tailor a maintenance plan if you want ongoing coverage for your property in Hackney Central.
