Types of graffiti we remove in Selsdon

Graffiti comes in several forms and each type requires a slightly different approach. In Selsdon we regularly see traditional spray paint graffiti as well as more challenging acid etched marks that penetrate into stone or brick. We tailor our method to each surface to protect the underlying material while achieving a clean restoration. Below are the most common types we handle in Selsdon.

Traditional graffiti and tagging

This is the most common form of graffiti simple marks, letters, and logos sprayed onto walls, fences and sign boards. Traditional graffiti usually sits on the surface and can be removed with chemical cleaners, solvent based removers and or pressure washing depending on the surface and the age of the paint. We identify the best combination to remove the graffiti without damaging the substrate. After removal a new coat of paint or protective coating is often applied to restore the area to its original appearance.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is a tougher problem. It involves chemical etching or burning into the surface creating permanent marks. These marks can require careful chemical neutralisation and repatching of the affected area. In many cases the best result is to recoat with a protective finish or to repatch with new paint. We have specialist equipment and trained technicians to handle acid etched graffiti with care and accuracy while keeping disruption to a minimum for you or your tenants.

Stencils and large scale artwork

Stencils and large artwork may sit more firmly on certain wall types such as brick or rendered walls. In these cases we assess the depth of penetration and the best method to remove the ink or paint without eroding the surface. Our team has experience with many stencil designs and can often remove them without leaving ghost images or ghosting behind. If the surface requires repainting we offer careful colour matching to ensure the repaired area blends in with the surrounding wall.

Graffiti on signage and metal surfaces

Metal signs, aluminum panels and storefront fixtures are a common target in busy commercial zones around Selsdon. We use methods that are gentle on metal while removing paint quickly. In many cases we treat the area with a protective coating after cleaning to reduce the likelihood of rapid re graffiti.

Graffiti on glass and windows

Glass surfaces require special care to avoid scratching or streaking. We use glass safe products and controlled cleaning methods to restore clarity without damaging the glazing. We also offer post removal protective film or window films to deter future tagging if you want a longer term solution.

Our process for graffiti removal in Selsdon

Every job begins with a careful assessment. We will inspect the surface type, the age of the graffiti, the surrounding environment and the expected traffic in the area before we recommend a method. This approach helps us determine the most effective method while keeping your surfaces intact.

Step 1. On site assessment

One of our experienced technicians will visit your site in Selsdon to evaluate the graffiti. We will check the substrate such as brick, render, metal, wood or glass and identify any coatings that could hinder removal. We will determine whether the graffiti is fresh or older and whether it has penetrated the surface. The assessment is free and designed to provide you with a clear plan and a realistic timescale.

Step 2. Containment and protection

We take care to protect nearby surfaces and the surrounding environment. This includes protecting floors, adjacent walls, landscaping and any nearby signage. We use suitable containment methods to prevent the cleaning agents from affecting areas outside the work zone. Our team follows safety guidelines and environmental best practices at all times.

Step 3. Selecting the removal method

The method we choose depends on the surface and the graffiti type. For traditional graffiti we may start with less aggressive cleaners and escalate if needed. For acid etched graffiti we employ specialized chemical treatments and controlled processes to neutralise the acid effectively. For stubborn marks we may combine chemical removal with low pressure washing or other techniques designed for the surface in question.

Step 4. Removal

Removal is performed with care to preserve the original texture and colour of the surface. We keep the work area clean and ensure that runoff is contained and disposed of properly. After the bulk removal we perform a final check to confirm that the graffiti has been removed to the highest possible standard.

Step 5. Finishing touches and protection

Often the area will benefit from a repaint to restore uniform colour and texture. If repainting is not necessary we may apply a protective anti graffiti coating to deter future tagging. Anti graffiti coatings create a barrier that makes it easier to remove graffiti in the future and can significantly reduce maintenance costs over time.

Step 6. Final inspection and client sign off

We walk you through the finished job and answer any questions you have. We explain how to care for the newly cleaned surface and provide guidance on ongoing maintenance. If you want a follow up, we can schedule a visit after a set period to ensure the area remains clean and protected.

Step 7. Aftercare options

Following removal you may choose to have slip resistant finishes or protective coatings applied. We can also offer advice on improving the area’s deterrence against future graffiti such as improved lighting, surveillance or clear signage. Our goal is to deliver durable results and a surface that looks as close to new as possible.

Surface safety and environmental considerations

We understand that many properties in Selsdon have environmental and safety concerns. Our removal methods are designed to be both effective and responsible. All chemicals we use are selected for their efficacy and lower environmental impact. We take care to avoid contamination of soil and groundwater. We always comply with local regulations and best practices for waste disposal. If you manage a school, community centre or a government building in Selsdon we will work with you to ensure minimal disruption while delivering excellent results.

Protecting your property for the long term in Selsdon

Once graffiti is removed you may want to protect the area from future tagging. Anti graffiti coatings are an excellent option for many surfaces. They create a barrier that makes cleaning graffiti easier and faster in the future. We can apply a sacrificial or a nano protective coating depending on the surface. Our technicians will explain the difference so you can choose the option that best fits your property and budget.

• Sacrificial coatings are removed along with graffiti when cleaning is needed and require reapplication after each removal.
• Nanocoatings offer longer lasting protection and are ideal for porous surfaces such as brick and stone. They can be clear and unobtrusive while still providing protection.
• We also offer advice on improving the area’s natural deterrents such as better lighting and improved sightlines which can reduce the risk of graffiti over time.

Pricing and transparency in Selsdon

We believe in clear pricing with no hidden surprises. After the on site assessment we provide a written quote that outlines the method, expected timeline and total cost. We are upfront about what is included in the price and what would be considered add ons. If the graffiti is more extensive than expected or if surface conditions change during removal we inform you immediately. Our goal is to avoid unpleasant surprises and to keep you informed throughout the process.

For many clients in Selsdon, the total cost can be influenced by surface complexity, access constraints and the required finishing touches such as repainting or protective coatings. We will discuss all of these with you so you can make an informed decision about how to proceed.
