Why Peckham needs professional graffiti removal

Graffiti is a common issue in busy urban areas. In Peckham you will see a mix of street art and unwanted vandalism, which can include tagging and acid etched marks. Tagging uses simple spray paint or marker ink to leave a quick signature on a wall. A throw up is a larger tag often featuring bubble letters. A stencil may be used to replicate a logo or message. Acid etched graffiti is a harsher form where corrosive liquids remove or etch the surface to leave a lasting stain. All of these types require a careful approach to remove without damaging the underlying substrate. Left unchecked graffiti can create a negative impression of a property and invite more vandalism. The sooner it is removed the better the outcome for the building and for the community around it.

We treat each project as unique. The surface type the age of the wall and the extent of graffiti all influence the plan.

We also consider the surrounding environment including nearby plants and foot traffic to minimize disruption to residents and businesses.

Our removal process explained

We use a clear step by step approach so you know what to expect. The exact steps may vary depending on the surface and the type of graffiti but the principles stay the same.

Initial assessment and safety

On arrival a trained technician will assess the graffiti and identify the best removal method. Safety is a priority especially in busy areas. We will set up any necessary barriers and ensure the work area is safe for pedestrians and traffic. If there are sensitive materials such as signage or historic brickwork we plan accordingly to protect them during the process.

Surface preparation

Before any cleaning begins we protect adjacent surfaces from overspray or runoff. We may cover nearby windows or plants and we always use containment methods to keep the work area tidy. Surface preparation ensures the cleaning agents work effectively and reduces the risk of damage to the wall or substrate.

Cleaning methods and materials

For traditional graffiti we typically use a combination of specialised graffiti removers and gentle mechanical cleaning. We balance solvent strength with surface safety to avoid dulling paint or causing pitting in brick. For acid etched graffiti we use a process that neutralises the chemical action and then lifts as much of the stain as possible without enlarging the etched area. In some cases power washing is used with low pressure and appropriate nozzles to avoid pushing water into wall cavities. For glass and metal surfaces we tailor a approach that preserves the finish and reduces risk of etching or scratching. After the cleaning we may apply a protective coating to help repel new graffiti and extend the time before the next incident.

Rinsing and final checks

After cleaning we rinse the area and thoroughly inspect the surface in natural light. We verify there are no residues and we check for any colour imbalance on painted surfaces. If needed we perform a second light pass to ensure the finish is even. We document the job so you have a record of the work completed and we confirm satisfaction with the final result.

Aftercare and prevention advice

To help keep surfaces clean we can offer guidance on anti graffiti coatings and maintenance plans. We can also recommend lighting and camera placements to deter future graffiti and provide signage ideas for deterring taggers. We understand the value of a tidy exterior for residents and for business customers.
