What types of graffiti we remove in Foots Cray

Graffiti takes many forms from simple tag marks done with spray paint to more sophisticated wall pieces. In Foots Cray we regularly encounter two broad categories that we specialise in. Traditional graffiti produced with spray paint or markers and acid etched graffiti which has chemically etched into the surface leaving a more permanent mark. Each type requires a distinct approach and our technicians are trained to identify the best method for safe removal while protecting the underlying material.

Traditional graffiti removal

Traditional graffiti usually sits on brickwork render metal or wood. The removal process depends on the surface. For brick and render walls we select the appropriate cleaning agents and mechanical methods to lift the paint without causing damage to the substrate. For metal surfaces we use products formulated for corrosion resistance and to prevent staining. For wooden surfaces we ensure that the cleaning agents do not compromise the wood finish and we may seal or repaint if necessary after cleaning.

Acid etched graffiti removal

Acid etched graffiti is more challenging because it has chemically penetrated into the surface. The etching creates a permanent mark that is harder to remove and may require specialised cleaning systems or resurfacing. Our team has experience with acid etched works on various substrates including stone and concrete. We approach these jobs with care taking steps to avoid further damage and to minimise the risk of surface dulling or network staining. After removing an acid etched tag we will evaluate whether the surface needs refinishing sealing or repainting to restore its original appearance.

Protecting your surfaces what you should know about graffiti removal in Foots Cray

Graffiti removal is not simply about wiping paint away. It is about understanding the substrate and selecting cleaning methods that preserve the integrity of the material. For brick and render surfaces the cleaning process must be gentle enough to avoid spalling or colour loss while still being effective. Some surfaces may require refinishing or repainting after graffiti removal to restore an even colour and texture. Acid etched surfaces demand extra care because cleaning agents can worsen the damage if used improperly. Our technicians are trained to identify the safest approach for each surface in Foots Cray and to communicate clearly with property owners about any potential need for refinishing.

Surface types we frequently work with in Foots Cray

Understanding the material you are protecting helps us choose the best cleaning approach. Some common surface types in Foots Cray include:

• Brick walls that may be sensitive to strong cleaning chemicals
• Render surfaces that can absorb paint and require careful chemical selection
• Concrete and cement surfaces which can be etched if treated with aggressive cleaners
• Metal storefronts and railings that demand corrosion resistant products
• Glass and polycarbonate panels on shopfronts that need careful scribing and gentle cleaning
• Natural stone features that may need special cleaners to avoid staining
