What types of graffiti we remove in Selhurst

Graffiti comes in several forms and the best approach depends on the type and the surface. In Selhurst we regularly encounter these common types:

• Traditional spray paint graffiti This is the classic tags tags letters and simple designs created with spray cans. It often adheres to brick painted surfaces and metalwork and may require gentle solvents together with careful abrasion or masking to protect surrounding areas.
• Stencil graffiti Patterns and words cut into stencils leave a precise imprint. We remove stencil graffiti by lifting the residue while keeping the underlying surface intact.
• Throw up graffiti Quick large letters or shapes often executed in one go. We treat these with techniques designed to eliminate colour overlays without damaging the surface finish.
• Acid etched graffiti This is a harder form that permanently etches into glass metal or concrete leaving a lasting mark. It requires specialized chemical treatments and careful surface restoration to recover clarity and brightness.
• Graffiti on signage and shop fronts We know how to protect signs and frames while removing graffiti from the area around the sign making sure the visibility and legibility stay intact.
• Graffiti on heritage or listed surfaces When a property has historic value or listed status we use the gentlest effective methods to preserve the original material while removing the graffiti.

Surface types we commonly encounter in Selhurst

Selhurst offers a mix of brick walls concrete surfaces painted wood and metal elements. Each material responds differently to graffiti removal and to cleaning products. We tailor the treatment to the surface to avoid damage while achieving the best possible result. Here are some examples of surfaces we routinely support in Selhurst:

• Brick and blockwork A common canvas for traditional graffiti. We carefully remove colour from the pores while preserving texture and prevent rough patches once the paint is removed.
• Ceramic and glazed tiles We remove graffiti without scratching the glaze and we can also repair minor surface imperfections when needed.
• Painted masonry If the graffiti sits on a painted surface we can refresh the paint while removing the marks leaving a uniform finish behind.
• Glass and mirrors Acid etched graffiti on glass requires specific chemical treatments and careful handling to avoid haze or damage.
• Metal surfaces We remove paint without causing corrosion and we protect metal with suitable sealers or coatings after cleaning if needed.
• Public signs Graffiti on signage needs careful cleaning to avoid distortion or loss of information while maintaining legibility.

Whatever the surface at your Selhurst property we have the tools training and experience to restore it effectively. People often ask us about the longevity of spray paint removal or the risk of staining. Our technicians explain the expected outcomes for each surface if the right technique is used and if coatings or sealants may be advisable for long term protection.

Acid etched graffiti what you need to know

Acid etched graffiti is more challenging than paint removal. It occurs when acids discharge into a material leaving a chemical mark that penetrates into the surface. On glass and certain stone surfaces this can be permanent without the correct treatment. Our team has specific equipment and chemical knowledge to handle acid etched graffiti with care. We use controlled methods to neutralise the etching and restore clarity to the surface where possible. This work requires skill and patience to avoid worsening the mark or causing micro cracks. If you notice etched marks on your Selhurst property do not attempt DIY chemical cleaning which can often intensify damage. Contact our specialists we will assess and provide the safest most effective solution.

We also help you with aftercare to reduce future risk. Our team can apply protective coatings and advise on anti graffiti products that deter tagging while keeping surfaces easy to clean should graffiti appear again in the future.

Preventing graffiti what you can do in Selhurst

Prevention is better than cure particularly in busy areas of Selhurst where graffiti can appear quickly on walls entrances and shop fronts. We offer practical guidance and workable options to reduce the likelihood of tagging and to make removal easier when it does occur.

• Coatings Anti graffiti coatings create a protective layer that makes graffiti easier to remove. The coating can be sacrificial or permanent depending on the product chosen and the surface involved.
• Lighting and visibility Good lighting deters graffiti by improving natural surveillance and reducing opportunities for concealment. We can advise on suitable lighting upgrades for specific walls and entrances.
• CCTV signage Clear signage can deter tagging and supports rapid reporting if it does happen. We can help you position signs effectively without compromising aesthetics.
• Regular maintenance A quick wash or a light clean between major cleaning sessions keeps surfaces in better condition and reduces the chance of deep staining.
• Clean and seal after removal After graffiti is removed we advise on sealing or repainting where necessary to prevent rapid re appearance and to maintain a fresh look.

Our team can also work with you to plan a maintenance schedule for high risk areas in Selhurst. Regular inspections and timely cleaning act as a strong deterrent and keep your property looking its best.
