Types of graffiti we remove in Covent Garden

Graffiti comes in many forms each requiring a different removal strategy. Our Covent Garden team is trained to handle diverse situations while protecting sensitive surfaces. Here are the main types we see and remove in this area.

• Traditional graffiti tags and throw ups. These are typically paint inscriptions on brick, stone or metal. We use surface friendly methods that lift paint without etching or dulling the finish.
• Stencil art. This is common on doors and walls where a stencil design has been sprayed. We carefully lift through the layers of paint while preserving the texture of the underlying material.
• Adhesive graffiti including stickers and pastes. We remove sticker residues and ensure sticky residues do not reappear after cleaning.
• Acid etched graffiti. This is graffiti etched into glass or stone by acids. It requires specialised techniques and solvents that remove adhesion without eroding the surface.
• Plastic and aerosol overcoats. We strip and clean layers of spray paint while protecting substrate integrity.
• Stains from solvents and pigments. Sometimes graffiti removal reveals staining that needs additional treatment to restore colour and texture.

We tailor our approach to the surface type and the extent of damage. For historic brick or stone façades in Covent Garden that require extra care we adjust cleaning methods to avoid micro-scratching or debonding the material. Our technicians assess the surface on arrival and confirm the safest plan before work begins.
