Types of graffiti we remove in Stoke Newington

Graffiti comes in many forms and the correct method depends on the surface and the material used. Here is a guide to the most common types we encounter in Stoke Newington and how we address them. If you are unsure what you are dealing with contact us for a no obligation assessment. We can identify the type and explain the best removal plan in plain language.

• Traditional graffiti This is the classic spray paint or marker style found on brick concrete metal and wood. It can sit proud of the surface or be deeply embedded in porous materials. We use a combination of specialist graffiti removers pressure washing and careful surface gentle methods to lift paint without damaging the substrate.
• Stencil graffiti This style creates crisp edges and often uses stencils to apply images or text. We apply targeted removal techniques that protect edges and nearby surfaces while removing the stencil layer layer by layer until the image disappears.
• Acid etched graffiti Acid etched graffiti creates a chemical signature in glass stone or plaster surfaces. Our trained team uses neutralising solutions and careful controlled cleaning to limit any risk of surface damage. We restore the material’s appearance while ensuring the etching effect does not reoccur after removal.
• Tagging with ink or paint markers Markers can be quick to apply and may leave trails on metal glass or wood. We remove these quickly with gentle cleaners and where necessary light abrasion and re sealing to prevent residue from attracting more graffiti later.
• Graffiti over graffiti When layers build up over time we work to strip back to the original substrate and restore the finish. This can require multiple passes but we hoist the surface to its original look without leaving ghosting behind.
• Painted over graffiti Some surfaces have been painted to cover graffiti in the past. We evaluate whether the underlying paint needs to be removed or if a fresh coat of paint is appropriate to restore the area to its former appearance.
• Textured surfaces Brick roughcast and other textures require careful cleaning so we do not grind away the surface. We tailor our methods to preserve texture while removing the unwanted markings.

We do not rely on one size fits all solutions. Our technicians inspect the surface choose the safest most effective cleaning method and then explain the plan to you clearly before any work begins. If the surface is historic or has architectural value we take extra care so there is no damage to delicate features. Our goal is to remove graffiti while keeping the character of the building intact.
