Types of graffiti we remove in Gipsy Hill

Graffiti comes in several forms and different surfaces require specific techniques. We remove both traditional graffiti and acid etched graffiti along with paint splashes marker tags and stencils. Here is a quick guide to the common types we encounter in Gipsy Hill and how we approach them.

Traditional spray paint graffiti

Most graffiti you see on brick walls timber fences and metal surfaces is spray paint. We use professional grade cleaners and mechanical methods that lift paint from the surface without causing lasting damage. For porous surfaces like brickwork the work may involve gentle deep cleaning followed by protective coatings to reduce future staining. For smoother surfaces such as metal and glass we select chemicals that remove paint while maintaining the integrity of the substrate.

Marker and pen graffiti

Marker graffiti often appears on shop windows doors and signage. The removal approach for markers relies on solvents and cloths that lift the ink without scratching the surface. We tailor the solution to the type of marker used to prevent smearing and to avoid leaving any ghosting behind.

Stencil graffiti

Stencil work can be layered onto walls with multiple colours and textures. We plan careful removal so that underlying textures remain intact. We may require repeat passes on stubborn layers which we complete efficiently and with minimal disruption to the site.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is more challenging sometimes requiring chemical treatment on glass metal or stone. We are experienced in safely refreshing or restoring affected surfaces while preserving clarity and safety. Our team uses methods designed to break the etched residues and remove stains produced by the acids while protecting surrounding areas.

Paint spill and accidental vandalism

Occasionally graffiti arrives as a paint spill or careless vandalism on paving slabs driveways or public seating. Our specialists can deal with these incidents by removing the paint from concrete tarmac or paving materials without leaving discolouration or marks that draw attention to the cleaned areas.

Step two on site assessment and planning

When we arrive we perform a quick on site assessment. We identify the surface material check for sensitive finishes and determine the best cleaning method. We explain the plan to the property owner or facility manager and confirm any access requirements. This stage ensures we apply the right technique on the first pass saving time and money for the client.

Step three safety and preparation

Safety is a priority on every job. We prepare the area we protect nearby plants and furniture and we implement controls to ensure passers by and occupants remain safe while the cleaning is in progress. We use suitable containment and we post clear signs as needed. Protecting the surrounding area ensures the cleaning result is clean and consistent across the treated surface.

Step four cleaning method selection

We choose the cleaning method based on the surface and the type of graffiti. For brickwork we may use a combination of pressure washing and chemical cleaning. For sensitive surfaces such as glass we may rely on gentler solutions and manual scouring. The goal is to remove the graffiti cleanly without etching or dulling the surface and to avoid leaving staining from cleaning residues.

Step five removal completion and inspection

After the cleaning is completed we perform a thorough inspection with the client present. We check for any remaining residue mask or ghosting. If needed a follow up pass is scheduled to achieve perfect results. We only consider a job finished when the surface looks renewed and the area matches the surrounding appearance as closely as possible.

Step six optional protective coating and prevention

We offer anti graffiti coatings as an optional extra. These coatings make future graffiti removal faster easier and less costly while also helping to protect the surface. If you manage a block of flats a shop front or a public space a protective layer can make a big difference. We explain the options and costs and help you choose the best solution for your property and budget.
