Graffiti Removal In Paternoster Square, Within Three Hours
All day. Every day. Within three hours. That takes in the square, the colonnades and the lanes running down towards Ludgate Hill.
Our vehicles carry their own water and power, so no estate team is asked for a supply and no security officer is tied up walking a contractor around. On privately managed public space, where every visiting trade needs signing in, that is frequently the whole reason a job happens the same day.
Where a surface needs hours under a poultice before it releases anything, we say so while quoting, and the work is written up as two attendances from the outset.
Recent London Graffiti Removal Projects
What We Remove
- Spray paint and tags across stone, granite, bronze, painted metal and glass
- Marker and ink, including marks that have already drawn into the surface
- Acid etched and scored glazing on entrances, screens and balustrades
- Stickers, paste-ups, fly-posting and the adhesive film beneath them
- Paint applied by somebody who covered an earlier tag rather than lifting it
- Work at height, with access equipment costed inside the figure you are quoted
- Protective coatings fitted afterwards, but only where the surface genuinely suits one
Between us we operate DOFF and TORC superheated steam, dry ice blasting, soda blasting, poultices and solvent gels. Your photographs settle which travels to site, long before anybody is standing at the wall.
How We Price Your Job
Everything is quoted individually from photographs, and the figure reaches you on the same day.
We need one image close to the mark, one showing the elevation in full, and the address. You receive a single committed price with the treatment named alongside it, never a bracket that widens once the work begins. It changes only if the surface conceals something a photograph could not reveal, and in that event we stop and call rather than adjusting the invoice afterwards.
There is no quoting fee and no surveyor sent ahead of the job. On a managed estate that ordinarily saves the better part of a week, because arranging a survey visit is far slower than the cleaning itself.
Three things move the number: the material, the access, and how long the mark has been left weathering. Only the last is in your hands, and dealing with it quickly is worth more than anything else. Both are broken down in factors that affect the cost of graffiti removal and how much graffiti removal costs in London.

Acid Etched Glass: Restore, Do Not Replace
Why waste £1,000s replacing vandalised glass windows? We provide perfect same-day restoration for less than 50% of the replacement cost.
Etching and scoring remove glass rather than sitting on top of it, so nothing applied to the surface will shift them. Polishing lifts the damage away with the pane left exactly where it is, and it is normally complete inside a day. That sidesteps the glazier altogether, along with the weeks of boarding that follow ordering a made-to-measure unit. Lobby screens, retail glazing, door panels and balustrades polish back in the vast majority of cases.
Send a photograph with a hand or a coin in shot for scale and you will get a straight verdict. The process is described under acid etched graffiti removal.
Surfaces We Clean In Paternoster Square
Almost everything in the square was specified to sit comfortably beside the cathedral, which means a panel cleaned brighter than the ones flanking it reads as a mistake rather than a job well done.
| Surface | How we handle it |
|---|---|
| Limestone and Portland ashlar across the square | Poultice and gentle steam, matched so the treated bay still reads the same as its neighbours |
| Polished granite paving, plinths and colonnade bases | Short dwell gel only. Polish removed from a fixed panel cannot be reinstated on site |
| Bronze and architectural metalwork | The mildest thing that works, trialled out of sight. A cut patina shows from across the square permanently |
| Powder coated metal and painted metal doors and louvres | Dry ice or gel, keeping the coating unbroken so nothing rusts out from a cut edge |
| Smooth render on rear and service elevations | Controlled gel work that releases the tag without pulling the render face off with it |
| Cast iron bollards, gates and railings | Cleaned so the existing paint system comes through the process unharmed |

Who We Work For
We are used by Pret, Chestertons, Iceland, Coca-Cola, McDonald's, StayCity, Ibis Hotel, Kwik Fit and WeWork, plus a broad range of City estate managers, agents and independent operators.
Our Google rating is 5.0 across 42 reviews, and we hold £10m public liability. The certificate goes out with every quotation as standard, because on an estate like this the approver and the reporter are almost never the same person.
How It Works
- Phone us or send two images, one close to the mark, one of the elevation entire.
- A firm price comes back the same day, written as a single number with the method beside it.
- We attend within three hours where speed matters, or at a time that suits the estate.
- Matching before and after photographs arrive, with an invoice naming elevation and treatment.
For Facilities Managers And Managing Agents
Where you are commissioning for an estate or an occupier, the paperwork carries as much weight as the wall.
- RAMS and COSHH built around the specific elevation, not a generic pack with a new address on the front
- £10m public liability evidenced in advance, so nobody is vetting a contractor at the security desk
- Invoices naming elevation and method, written to hold up in audit and to pass into a service charge
- Purchase order references carried through from first quotation to final payment
- A photographic completion report for the estate record and for any claim you pursue
- Out of hours and weekend work at ordinary rates, so a public square is never closed off
How liability divides between the parties is unpicked in liability issues and who is responsible for graffiti removal, and whether a claim is worth making in does insurance cover graffiti removal in London.

For Independent Traders And Single Sites
A single unit under the colonnade has no service charge to hide this in and nobody upstairs to hand it to. You open, the frontage is marked, and the decision is yours straight away.
Trade on, photograph it, and ring us. One frontage gets priced as its own piece of work rather than as a watered-down estate rate, and we run early mornings and Sundays so nothing comes out of your trading day. Where several units have been caught in the same night, a combined visit costs each of you less and we will point that out rather than quoting you individually.
Anti Graffiti Coatings
Service doors and the rear elevations off the lanes get hit repeatedly here. A coating will not stop it happening, though it does cut each later clean down to a short job.
Sacrificial products come away bringing the paint with them and are then reapplied. Permanent systems stay in place and let marks be wiped off. Both work on shutters, bin stores, service doors and modern render, and neither belongs on the ashlar, the granite or the bronze. Which of the two suits a given surface is set out in anti graffiti coatings, what they are and how they work.
Where We Cover In Paternoster Square
Paternoster Square and Paternoster Row. Ave Maria Lane and Warwick Lane. Newgate Street and Ludgate Hill. Creed Lane, Carter Lane and Godliman Street. Panyer Alley, Queen Victoria Street and Cannon Street. Along with the colonnades, service routes, plinths and flank walls behind them, which take the greater share of the marking.
Why Paternoster Square Owners Call Us
Seven days a week, three hours to site, our own water and power, £10m public liability, and nobody from your side required to attend.
The single most useful thing to know here is that the square is private land rather than public highway. There is no council cleaning service standing behind it and no highway authority to fall back on, and the Corporation has stated in writing that it does not hold the ownership record, so anything marked is squarely the estate's own problem to solve and to fund.
What leaving a mark up actually costs is totted up in hidden costs of not removing graffiti promptly.

We work throughout EC4 and the neighbouring streets, including City of London, Aldersgate, Fleet Street, Farringdon, Holborn, Barbican, Moorgate and Southwark.
Paternoster Square Graffiti Removal: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does graffiti removal cost at Paternoster Square?
It depends on what has been marked. Portland ashlar and a powder coated service door are unrelated jobs. Two photographs bring back a firm figure the same day, free.
How soon can you be here?
Normally within three hours of the call, seven days a week, across EC4M and EC4N. The majority of work is completed during that same attendance.
Will the council clean it?
No. The square is private land rather than public highway, so there is no council service behind it and no highway authority to call on. It falls to the estate.
Do you work outside business hours?
Yes, at no premium. On a square this public, early mornings and Sundays mean the work is done before there is anybody about to notice it.
Does somebody need to be present?
No. We arrive with our own water and power, need nothing from inside any building, and send photographs when the work is finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, and it is considerably faster. Two photographs and the address are enough for a firm figure, with no survey fee attached.
Will cleaning leave a bright patch on the stone?
Not the way we work. The treated area is matched against the bays either side of it rather than against clean stone, because here a brighter panel is itself the failure.
Can scratched or etched glass be saved?
Usually. It is polished out in place, generally within the day, for well below half the cost of replacing the unit and refitting it.
What insurance do you carry?
£10m public liability, issued with the quotation as standard rather than on request, along with RAMS written for the elevation concerned.
Do you work on stone and bronze?
Routinely. Poultice and superheated steam systems exist so a mark can be removed without taking the surface of the material away along with it.
The same colonnade keeps getting marked. What helps?
Clearing it quickly every time, because a surface that never stays marked stops attracting anybody. Where it continues we will price a coating or tell you it is unsuitable.
