What We Remove In Kensington
| What we take off | What we will not do |
| Spray and marker on glazing, shutters and modern framing, lifted with a solvent gel. | Put a caustic or alkaline remover near bronze. It stains the metal and there is no going back. |
| Paint driven into Portland stone and dressings, drawn back out with a poultice. | Abrade weathered limestone. Cutting the skin leaves a lighter patch that then soils faster than the rest. |
| Marks on painted timber shopfronts, stallrisers and pilasters. | Reach for a solvent on a painted fascia without first saying whether the paint survives it. |
| Tagging on stucco, render and painted brickwork above the fascia. | Pressure wash anything here. Every substrate on these streets is softer than the pressure that would shift the paint. |
| Stickers, paste-ups and the adhesive left behind by a blade. | Start on protected fabric before the method has been agreed with the owner. |
Methods by material: DOFF superheated steam, TORC on dressed stone, dry ice where a surface must stay dry, soda blasting on coated metal, poultices on limestone and brick, gels on modern finishes.
How We Price Your Job In Kensington
The mechanism is short. Two photographs through the quote form, one close enough to read the mark and one wide enough to show the surface and the approach. From those we take the substrate, the spread, the depth and the access, settle on a method and send one firm figure back that day.
No survey, because what a survey would establish here, what the wall is actually made of, is visible in a photograph to anyone who knows what they are looking at. Nothing to pay for the quote, no call out charge, no range, no floor on job size. The figure holds unless something the photographs could not show turns up behind the paint, and then we stop and tell you.
What delay adds to the eventual bill is set out in the hidden costs of not removing graffiti promptly, and the variables behind a figure in factors that affect the cost of graffiti removal.

Surfaces We Clean In Kensington
The council's own record of these streets maps the frontages as stock brick, painted brickwork, red brick, half brick with stucco, full stucco and roughcast, with stone dressings and terracotta through it. Its shopfront guidance makes painted timber the traditional fascia and rules out vinyl, perspex and reinforced plastic. Then there is the north side of the High Street, Portland stone with bronze at shopfront level, which behaves like nothing else here.
- Portland stone - the department store frontages, porous and unforgiving of anything abrasive.
- Bronze and architectural metalwork - mullions, glazing bars and surviving panels at working height.
- Stucco and render - full and half stucco frontages through the conservation area.
- Painted brickwork - a recorded frontage type here, where the paint film has to survive the clean.
- Painted timber - fascias, stallrisers, pilasters and console brackets.
- Laminated glass shopfronts - the retail ground floor throughout W8.
Who We Work For In Kensington
Chains and one-shop owners are on the same book here, and each wants something different from the same attendance. A national account wants the file complete before anyone attends: a fixed price against a purchase order, RAMS and COSHH data, a dated £10m public liability certificate, a report that reconciles without a phone call. An independent on Thackeray Street wants the frontage clear before the first customer and a figure that does not move. Size changes nothing about the wait or the rate. On the national side that list runs Pret, Chestertons, Iceland, Coca-Cola, StayCity, Ibis Hotel, McDonald's, Kwik Fit and WeWork Waterloo. The rating across all of it is 5.0 from 42 Google reviews.
How It Works

| Us, before setting off | Obtain the bay suspension or access arrangement the address needs. |
| Us, within three hours | Attend with our own water and power and clear the mark around an open unit. |
| Us, same day | Dated images, before and after, and the invoice at the agreed figure. |

For Facilities Managers And Managing Agents In Kensington
What the tenant asks, and what you can answer without waiting on us:
| When will it be gone? | Three hours from confirmation, seven days a week, with early starts available before trade. |
| What does it cost the charge? | A fixed figure agreed before attendance, circulated as a number rather than an estimate. |
| Do we close for it? | No. We work around an open unit and nobody from the premises needs to attend. |
| Is this going to damage the stone? | Not with a poultice at low pressure. The method is named in the quote so you can see it before agreeing. |
| Is the contractor insured here? | £10m public liability, dated and issued with the RAMS before anyone attends. |
Which party actually carries the cost is unpicked in liability issues and who is responsible for graffiti removal, and the insurance position in does insurance cover graffiti removal in London.
For Independent Traders And Single Sites In Kensington
Where the buildings themselves are part of what brings people, a marked frontage costs more than it would elsewhere. Somebody walking up the High Street is already reading the architecture, and a tag on a stone pier reads as part of the building rather than as something temporary. No window dressing corrects that from twenty metres.
So a single unit is treated exactly like a chain. Photograph, figure, a slot before the doors open, and nothing to set up first.
Acid Etched And Scratched Glazing In Kensington
Why waste £1,000s replacing vandalised glass windows? We provide perfect same-day restoration for less than 50% of the replacement cost. Each kind of glass behaves differently, so we take them one at a time:
- Shop windows - the deep retail panes along the High Street, restored in place with the glass left in its frame and the unit trading.
- Entrance doors and screens - toughened panels in bronze or metal surrounds, where the glass and the frame need entirely separate products on one visit.
- Mirrors and display glass - interior and cabinet work, where the backing decides how far a restoration can go.
- Balustrades - stairs, terraces and car park edges, structural panels that cost little to polish and a great deal to remove.
Put a coin flat beside the mark and photograph it square on. Depth is what settles the answer, and only a photograph with scale in it shows depth. The process is described in acid etched graffiti removal.

Anti Graffiti Coatings In Kensington
A coating does not change how likely a building is to be marked. Nothing on the market does. What it changes is the next clean: on a coated surface the paint sits on a film rather than in the substrate, so removal is quicker, gentler and less likely to leave a trace. That genuinely earns its cost on an elevation hit several times a year, because the saving repeats. On one marked every couple of years it never pays for itself. And on stone, bronze or protected fabric here the question is not economic at all, because a coating alters the appearance and the breathability of the thing it is protecting and needs agreement before it goes anywhere near. Where the maths falls on your particular elevation, anti graffiti coatings, what they are and how they work walks through it.
Where We Cover In Kensington
Kensington High Street, Kensington Church Street, Holland Street, Thackeray Street, Stratford Road, Abingdon Road, Marloes Road, Kensington Court, Kensington Court Place, Phillimore Walk and Argyll Road. W8 throughout, with SW5 and W11 attended on the same terms.
Worth knowing before anyone books a bay: the borough allows up to forty minutes on a yellow line for loading and unloading heavy goods, and about twenty minutes in a paid bay during controlled hours, with enforcement observing for five minutes first. That is enough for a shutter or a pane of glass and nowhere near enough for a poultice on stone, so for anything with a dwell time we take out a proper suspension rather than gambling on a loading window.
Neighbouring areas on the same terms: Earls Court, Chelsea, West Kensington, Barons Court, Hammersmith, Belgravia, Fulham and Ladbroke Grove.

Why Kensington Owners Call Us
Seven days a week, our own water and power, £10m public liability, a fixed figure before attendance and nothing wanted from your staff.
The local reason is a two hundred metre run on the north side of the High Street. Two adjoining department store blocks, both protected and one of them at the higher grade, front the street in Portland stone with bronze mullions at shopfront level. That is the worst combination on this page for anyone reaching for a standard kit: the stone is porous and takes pigment deep, so an abrasive cuts the weathered skin and leaves a pale patch that then soils faster than the rest; and the bronze sits exactly where tags land, where a caustic or alkaline product stains it permanently. It is poultice and low pressure on the stone, the bronze masked and treated separately, and the method agreed before anyone starts. Get that wrong on a listed elevation and the clean becomes the damage.
Kensington Graffiti Removal: Frequently Asked Questions
What does graffiti removal cost in Kensington?
The surface, the spread and the access set it, so we quote from photographs rather than publish a rate that would be wrong for your building. There is a fuller picture at how much does graffiti removal cost in London.
How quickly can you attend?
Within three hours of confirmation, seven days a week.
Can you clean Portland stone safely?
Yes, with a poultice or low pressure steam. Abrasives are what leave a permanent pale patch on weathered limestone.
What about bronze shopfront metalwork?
It is masked and treated separately. Caustic and alkaline products stain bronze and the stain does not come out.
Do you charge for a quote?
No, and there is no site visit. Two photographs do it.
Will a clean leave a bright patch?
Not where the method fits the material and the surrounding panel is worked too.
Does the shop have to close?
No, and nobody from the unit needs to be present.
Is etched glass always replaced?
No. Most etched panes are restored in the frame at well under replacement cost.
Who arranges the parking?
We do. For anything with a dwell time we take a suspension rather than rely on a loading window.
Can several units share one attendance?
Yes, priced unit by unit so each business pays only for its own frontage.
Kensington frontages are cleared the same day, at a figure agreed before anyone sets off.
