Professional Graffiti Removal in Haggerston

Removing graffiti in Haggerston helps protect the look and value of your property. It also reduces the potential for repeated tagging which can create a cycle of graffiti that becomes harder to remove over time. By tackling graffiti early you keep your property looking professional and welcoming which is especially important for shopfronts offices and residential buildings that rely on curb appeal.

What types of graffiti we remove in Haggerston

Graffiti comes in several forms. Different surfaces require different approaches. In Haggerston we commonly see the following types and we tailor our method to each one:

• Traditional graffiti This is the familiar spray painted tag or throw up. It often covers walls fences and brickwork. We use methods that lift the paint from the surface while preserving the underlying material.
• Acid etched graffiti This is graffiti that has actually etched into glass metal or polished surfaces using acid or abrasive tools. It requires precise removal to restore clarity and remove the permanent impression signed by the vandal.
• Stencil graffiti A stencil can create a clean repeating image across a surface. Our team cleans the stencil residue and restores the area without harming the texture of the surface.
• Poster paste and sticker residue We remove glue and adhesive remnants that can damage surfaces if left unattended.
• Graffiti on signage and glass Glass doors windows and signage can be etched or layered with paint. We have methods that restore transparency and readability while keeping the surface intact.
• Paint over graffiti on brick and plaster When required we apply professional repainting in a targeted way to hide graffiti completely and preserve the architectural integrity of the property.

We explain terms clearly so you understand what a job will involve. If you hear terms you do not know during a consultation we will walk you through them. We want you to feel informed and in control of the process from the first call to the finished result.

Step one a site assessment

On arrival a trained technician will assess the graffiti material the surface type and the surrounding conditions. This step helps us decide if a chemical cleaner a solvent wash a pressure wash or a combination of methods is the most effective. We also check for any safety concerns and establish the best time to work so as not to disrupt neighbours or business operations.

Step two selecting the method

Surface type dictates the removal method. For brick and concrete we often use a targeted pressure wash with eco friendly cleaning solutions that protect the underlying masonry. For painted walls we may use a gel cleaner followed by gentle scrub. Glass and clear surfaces may require a delicate solvent and careful washing to avoid streaks. For acid etched graffiti on glass or metal we use specialized techniques to lift the etched layer while preserving the integrity of the surface.

Step three containment and protection

We protect adjacent surfaces and landscaping to prevent overspray and runoff. If the graffiti is on a storefront window we seal the area to ensure there is no risk to customers or staff. We also coordinate with building managers and tenants to plan the work around operating hours whenever possible.

Step four the cleaning

The cleaning phase is the core of the operation. We use modern equipment and proven cleaning agents selected for the surface at hand. Our approach is thorough yet gentle to avoid damage. When necessary we apply a sacrificial anti graffiti coating that makes future removal easier should graffiti be painted over again in the future.

Step five final checks and aftercare

After cleaning we inspect the surface closely up close and from street level to ensure all traces of graffiti are removed. If there is any residual staining we re apply a targeted treatment. We discuss aftercare options with you including anti graffiti coatings and maintenance plans to keep surfaces looking clean in the long term.

Step six client confirmation and documentation

We provide before and after photos and a written report detailing the work completed. We also supply any care guidance to help you maintain the surface. If you require a certificate of completion for insurance or tenancy records we can provide that as well.

Anti graffiti coatings and long term protection for Haggerston properties

One of the best ways to reduce life cycle costs for graffiti removal is to consider protective coatings. We offer sacrificial anti graffiti coatings on suitable surfaces. These coatings create an easy to remove layer that lifts away graffiti if re tagged and can significantly shorten future removal times. We can also discuss long term protective coatings for glass metal and brick surfaces depending on site conditions and budget. A well chosen coating makes cleaning faster and less disruptive while keeping your property looking its best.

We advise on when an anti graffiti coating is appropriate and help you plan a maintenance schedule. Regular checks and re applications keep the surface easier to clean and preserve the original look of the property.
