What graffiti we remove in Ratcliff

Graffiti comes in many forms and not every cleaning method is suitable for every surface. In Ratcliff we regularly remove:

• Traditional graffiti tags and throw ups left by vandals on brick walls timber panels and metal surfaces.
• Stencil and sticker art often pinned to doors windows and walls of shops and residences.
• Acid etched graffiti on glass brick and polished surfaces which requires specialist techniques and products.
• Graffiti on shopfronts fascias and signage that can obscure branding and signage clarity.
• Graffiti on public realm features such as benches planters and public walls that require careful cleaning to avoid damage to finishes.
• Graffiti damage on wrought iron railings metal gates and other metal fixtures that may need rust resistant cleaners.

We approach each job with the surface in mind. For brick and concrete we may use a combination of targeted cleaning agents gentle pressure washing and controlled soft abrasion when necessary. For glass we apply controlled chemical cleaners followed by meticulous rinsing to avoid etching. For painted surfaces we select removers that protect the underlying paint and avoid lifting or peeling. In all cases we prioritise the integrity of the surface and the aesthetics of the area.

Acid etched graffiti is a particular challenge in Ratcliff. It occurs when acidic substances are applied to a surface leaving a permanent mark that can appear like a stain over time. Removing acid etched graffiti takes specialist knowledge of the chemistry involved and a careful approach to avoid damage to the substrate. Our technicians are trained to identify the best method find a balance between complete removal and surface preservation which means cleaner walls and preserved surfaces for a longer period.

2. Surface preparation

Before any material is treated we inspect for signs of damage and check surrounding surfaces to ensure that cleaning does not cause further issues. We protect nearby plants windows and doors and set up containment where needed to keep the work area clean and safe. Preparation is crucial for success especially on porous bricks and delicate signage.

3. Cleaning methods

We tailor our approach to the surface and the graffiti type. For brick and concrete surfaces we may use specialized detergents and mild solvents paired with controlled agitation. On metal surfaces we select cleaners that minimize corrosion and chase away stubborn carbonised coatings. For glass and translucent materials we use non abrasive techniques to avoid scratching the surface. When acid etched graffiti is present we may opt for lime based cleaners or other formulations designed to neutralise the acid mark while protecting the underlying material. Our technicians adjust the method to achieve the best possible result without compromising the surface.

4. Post removal treatment

After cleaning we check for any trace of staining and treat as needed. On porous structures we may apply a clear sealant or anti graffiti coating to make future cleaning easier. These protective layers can also help deter future tagging by making graffiti easier to remove and less likely to adhere to the surface. We discuss these options with you and tailor a plan to your property and budget.

5. Clean up and final check

We finish with a thorough cleanup of the area and a final walk through with you. Our team confirms that the surface looks right and that any protective coating has cured. We provide advice on maintenance and offer a follow up inspection if required to ensure results stand the test of time.

6. Documentation and aftercare

We document the work for your records and share simple maintenance tips to keep surfaces clean between visits. If you want we can arrange a service schedule for regular checks and periodic refreshes especially in high traffic areas or near commercial frontages where graffiti tends to return quickly.
