What types of graffiti we remove in Keston

There are two main categories of graffiti that we encounter in Keston. The first is traditional graffiti often created with spray paint or markers. The second is acid etched graffiti which uses acid or similar agents to remove material at the surface level and imprint a mark. Traditional graffiti is removeable with a range of cleaning methods from gentle solvent based products to pressure washing and heat or dry ice depending on the surface. Acid etched graffiti requires a more delicate approach because the mark is chemically embedded in the surface and can be permanently visible if not treated correctly. In both cases we take great care to avoid damage to the substrate while achieving a clean finish.

Traditional graffiti removal

Traditional graffiti refers to painted marks on walls fences signs and other outdoor surfaces. We remove this type of graffiti using a combination of methods. Often a soft wash combined with specific graffiti removal agents dissolves the paint without harming the substrate. For tougher tags we may apply a gel or poultice technique to lift the pigment away gradually. We then rinse and inspect the surface to ensure no residue remains. We can also apply a protective coating after removal to help resist future tagging. The aim is to restore the original appearance while keeping the surface safe from future damage.

Acid etched graffiti removal

Acid etched graffiti is more challenging. The acid can darken or permanently alter the material. There is a risk of creating additional marks if the process is not done properly. Our trained technicians assess each etched area and choose a method that neutralises the effect while preserving the integrity of the surface. This may involve gentle cleaning with specialised agents and controlled mechanical action that does not scratch or corrode the substrate. Aftercare options such as anti graffiti coatings can be discussed to reduce future damage and make cleanup easier.

Why graffiti removal in Keston is important for property and business

Graffiti has a direct effect on how a property looks and feels. A clean wall communicates care and safety. Conversely visible graffiti can signal neglect and create an impression that maintenance is optional. For businesses in Keston graffiti can impact customer perception and foot traffic. For homeowners graffiti on a premier wall can affect property value and curb appeal. Removing graffiti promptly preserves the aesthetic of a street and supports the overall feel of the community.

Removing graffiti also protects the underlying surface. Some tags are corrosive or embed pigments that can stain if left untreated. Early intervention reduces the risk of permanent staining and the need for more invasive or expensive restoration later. We tailor our approach to the surface and the nature of the graffiti to minimise any risk of damage during the removal process.

Surface specific guidance for Keston properties

Different materials require different care. Here is a quick guide to common surfaces you may find in Keston and how we handle them.

• Brick and render For brickwork and rendered surfaces we typically use a combination of solvent based products and gentle washing. The goal is to lift the pigment without degrading the mortar and to avoid colour bleed. After cleaning we examine joints to ensure there is no exposure or cracking and we may apply a protective coating.
• Natural stone Stone surfaces such as limestone or sandstone can be sensitive to certain cleaners. We select stone safe products and may use poultice methods for stubborn marks. Good aftercare helps keep natural stone looking its best.
• Timber fences and timber cladding Timber requires care to avoid warping or discolouration. We use milder cleaners and rinsing to protect the timber. If necessary we re seal the timber after cleaning to restore colour and protection.
• Glass and windows Glass can be etched by acid graffiti so we approach with great caution. We may use glass safe cleaners and when required a professional glass restoration technique. We avoid abrasive methods that could scratch the surface.
• Metal signs and railings For metal surfaces we remove graffiti with products that do not corrode the metal. We inspect for rust potential and advise if touch up paint or protective coatings are required.

Anti graffiti protection options after removal

To reduce the chance of future graffiti on your property we offer protective coatings. Anti graffiti coatings create a barrier that makes painting over graffiti easier and faster. There are two main types of coating: sacrificial coatings which come off with graffiti removal or non sacrificial coatings that stay on the surface until removed. We discuss the best choice for your surface and location in Keston. Protective coatings can lower maintenance costs over time and keep your property looking pristine.
