Types of graffiti we remove in Wanstead

Our Wanstead clients typically ask us to remove two main categories of graffiti traditional graffiti and acid etched graffiti. We describe these terms and outline how we address them so you know exactly what to expect.

Traditional graffiti

This is the spray paint or marker graffiti most people picture. It sits on top of the surface and can usually be lifted with a combination of mechanical removal and chemical cleaning. The challenge with traditional graffiti is to remove the paint without causing damage to the substrate. We carefully assess the type of paint the age of the graffiti and the surface itself to determine the safest and most effective method. Our experience allows us to choose the right combination of cleaning agents pressure washing and gentle surface preparation to achieve a clean finish without leaving marks or discoloration. On brick surfaces this often means a controlled cleaning approach that preserves the texture of the brick while removing the pigment. On smooth surfaces such as metal or glass we can often remove graffiti with less aggressive methods which reduces the risk of surface damage.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is more challenging because the etching has penetrated the surface leaving a permanent mark. This is sometimes seen on glass doors windows and certain brick or tile surfaces where acid has chemically etched into the material. Removing acid etched graffiti requires specialized tools and chemical formulations designed to neutralize the etching and improve surface appearance without introducing new damage. Our team has experience in resolving acid etched graffiti by carefully selecting the right cleaning agents and applying consistent methodical techniques. In some cases the surface may require refinishing or protective coatings to restore uniform appearance. We explain every option before we start so you can decide what works best for your property and budget.

Other common graffiti types we handle

• Tagging and vandalism removal on brick render and metal signage
