We also see acid etched graffiti on glass surfaces such as windows doors and signage. Acid etched graffiti occurs when acid based cleaners or etching techniques are used and the marks can be deep and stubborn. Our technicians are trained to identify the type of graffiti and select the correct method so there is no damage to the underlying material. We can remove paint from brick render timber metal and glass using methods that preserve the integrity of the surface. Our experience means you can count on a thorough clean that leaves the surface looking as close to new as possible.

Our process for graffiti removal in Leamouth

We follow a careful and transparent process. The goal is to remove graffiti effectively while protecting the integrity of the property. The steps below outline how we work in Leamouth. We start with a site assessment and discuss the plan with the client. We then prepare the area to protect nearby surfaces plants and pedestrian zones. Our technicians choose the cleaning method that suits the surface and the type of graffiti. Finally we perform a detailed finish check and provide aftercare guidance. The steps are designed to be quick and thorough and to minimise disruption for residents and business operations in Leamouth.

Assessment and surface protection

On arrival we review the graffiti marks their height and the surface type. We identify any coatings we may need to apply to protect surrounding areas during cleaning. We place suitable coverings on ground level plants and nearby features. This step is important to avoid collateral staining and to prevent cleaning products from affecting areas that are not being cleaned. We propose the best method based on surface type whether brick render glass metal timber or other materials.

Removal methods we use

We choose the cleaning method based on the surface and the graffiti type. For traditional paint on brick or render we frequently use a combination of detergent cleaners and low pressure washing to lift the paint without damaging the surface. For more stubborn graffiti we may use specialised graffiti removal gels and controlled chemical treatments that are suitable for the specific surface. On glass and polished surfaces we use gentler techniques to avoid scratching or hazing. In some cases a light abrasive or micro abrasion may be required to remove etched residues while leaving the underlying material intact. For implement etching and particularly strong marks on metal surfaces we apply specialised products designed to break the bond between the graffiti material and the substrate. In all cases our team adheres to safety guidelines and environmental regulations and we avoid methods that could damage historic or sensitive surfaces.

Post cleaning checks and sealing

After cleaning we perform a thorough check to ensure all graffiti has been removed and that there is no residue that could cause staining. If surface porosity is high we may apply a protective sealant or anti graffiti coating to reduce future adhesion. These coatings can make future removal faster and minimise the need for aggressive cleaning methods later. We can advise on re decoration or repainting if required and help plan a maintenance schedule to keep Leamouth properties looking clean for longer.

We also provide guidance on how to report graffiti quickly to deter repeat incidents. In many cases rapid removal is a key factor in reducing repeated tagging as the graffiti is less likely to attract further acts if it is removed promptly.

Surface by surface considerations

Every surface requires a tailored approach. Brick and render surfaces may respond best to paint removal detergents and gentle washing. Glass can require specialised chemical cleaners to avoid damage while preserving clarity. Metal surfaces may be treated with rust inhibitors and coatings to protect the underlying material. Timber surfaces may need sealed finishes to prevent water absorption and staining. Our technicians have the training to work safely on ladders scaffolds and floor coverings as required for Leamouth locations and we always keep safety a priority for workers property and pedestrians.
