Surface by surface treatment options in Oval

Different materials respond to different treatments. Here is a simple guide to what we do for common materials found in Oval.

• Brick and rough render We start with careful cleaning using low pressure methods to avoid surface damage. If paint or ink remains we use gentle chemical cleaners that are suitable for porous walls. In many cases a repaint is the best long term solution.
• Smooth render A common problem area for graffiti. We use solvents and cleaners that lift marks away without etching the surface. If staining persists we repaint or seal the surface for protection.
• Glass and glazing Glass requires non abrasive cleaners that remove ink spray mirror like marks and other residues. We may use chemical cleaners designed for glass with precise controlled application to avoid streaks. Acid etched graffiti on glass is treated with specialty cleaners that restore clarity only where possible. Some etched marks may require polishing or replacement of the pane in severe cases.
• Metal surfaces We select cleaners that do not corrode metal and we can apply protective coatings after removal to reduce future adhesion of paint.

• Shop signs and metal signs Cleaning is followed by re coating or replacement as needed to preserve branding while removing graffiti quickly.

We treat these marks with careful methods designed for the specific material and finish. In some cases the best long term remedy is to replace the affected pane or panel. We discuss every option with you and help you decide the best course of action for your Oval property.

Anti graffiti coatings and aftercare for Oval properties

One of the best ways to reduce future graffiti is to apply an anti graffiti coating after cleaning. These coatings create a protective barrier that makes it harder for paint to bond to the surface. They are especially useful for brick walls shopfronts metal signage and glass surfaces where graffiti is common. We will explain the options and help you choose a coating that works with your surface and budget.

Quick removal is a proven deterrent because it signals that graffiti will not be tolerated and will be removed quickly.
