Haggerston sits within the London Borough of Hackney in East London. It is a vibrant area with a mix of residential streets and a growing number of small businesses along Mare Street and the surrounding roads. The local character is reflected in street art and murals that have attracted visitors, but when graffiti is not welcome it can harm the look of a building and even deter customers. Our job is to remove graffiti quickly while protecting materials and following local rules. We work with property owners, landlords, business owners and local councils to ensure that walls, doors and signage are clean and ready for the next phase of maintenance or protection.

Why graffiti removal matters in Haggerston

Graffiti is not just an aesthetic issue. It can influence how people perceive safety and how quickly an area is considered desirable to live in or to visit. In Haggerston you will find a mix of historic brickwork, modern shopfronts, and communal spaces along canals and parks. A quick response to graffiti prevents staining from spreading and helps to preserve the long term value of a property. When graffiti is left to weather it can require more intensive cleaning later and can even lead to permanent damage in some materials. We know that property owners want a straightforward, honest service with no hidden fees. That is why our approach is simple and transparent.

Removing graffiti quickly is also important for businesses in the area. A clean storefront projects professionalism and quality. It helps to keep foot traffic moving and it supports a positive reputation in the community. Our same day service means we can be on site quickly to minimise disruption and to start the cleaning process without delay. For many businesses a fast response helps to reduce downtime and maintain a strong brand image in a busy part of London.

Types of graffiti we remove in Haggerston

Graffiti comes in many forms and each type requires a careful approach to protect the underlying surface. In Haggerston we see traditional graffiti tags and throw ups on bricks and timber. We also deal with more complex forms such as acid etched graffiti, which creates marks by chemical action on glass or stone surfaces. Other common forms include stenciling, wheatpaste posters and sticker bombing. Our team has the right tools and training to remove each type while minimising risk to the substrate.

Traditional graffiti and tags

Traditional graffiti refers to spray painted letters or phrases applied quickly to surfaces. This kind of graffiti is designed to mark territory or to deliver a simple message. The most common surfaces are brick, concrete, wood, metal and glass. We use methods tailored to the material and the coating already on the surface. The aim is to restore the area to its original appearance while avoiding damage to the wall or signage.

Throw ups and larger pieces

Throw ups are larger, more elaborate tags often created with two colours. They can be more challenging to remove because of the increased pigment load and the potential to penetrate into porous surfaces. Our team uses controlled cleaning methods that remove the paint while maintaining the structural integrity of the substrate. We take care around windows, signage and decorative features so as not to create new damage in the process.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is a more severe problem where chemical agents dissolve or erode surfaces such as glass, stone or metal. The residue can be stubborn and visible for a long time even after painting is removed. Removing acid etched graffiti requires specialised cleaning solutions, careful technique and sometimes surface refinishing. We evaluate each cast and choose a method that returns clarity to the area without harming future usability. If acid etched marks are present on a door glass or a display case we apply the correct process to avoid scratches or staining.

Stencils and wheatpaste

Stencils involve a printed or cut design applied with spray paint. Wheatpaste and other adhesive posters are often used for short term promotion or events. We remove these materials with a focus on leaving the surface smooth and ready for repainting or protective coating when needed. In many cases the removal reveals a surface that can be prepared for a fresh coat of paint or a protective layer to deter future graffiti.

Stickers and decals

Sticker bombing leaves small to medium size adhesive marks that can be stubborn in some materials. We remove stickers by softening the adhesive and lifting the remnants without stripping paint or finishing. If the surface has a delicate finish or a glaze we adjust the method to protect it from lift or peel back.

Why choose a same day graffiti removal service in Haggerston

Fast response matters when graffiti is visible on a shopfront, office door or residential wall. A quick removal reduces the chance of repeat tagging and helps recharge community pride. Our same day service means we can be on site promptly, assess the surface, and start cleaning with a plan that protects the substrate and preserves the area’s aesthetic. We understand that every surface responds differently to cleaners and that a one size fits all approach does not work. Our technicians tailor the method to the surface and the type of graffiti for the best outcome.

We also aim to deliver a transparent experience with clear pricing. There are no hidden fees and no surprises. The process is explained to property owners before work begins, and we provide written estimates so you can see exactly what is included and what is not. If you need a quick turn around we keep you informed at every step from initial assessment to final finish. Our goal is to restore your property to its best possible appearance as quickly as possible.

How we work in Haggerston

Every job starts with a careful assessment to determine the most appropriate method. Our process includes:

• Initial contact to arrange a same day site visit and a written price quote.
• On site assessment to identify the graffiti type and assess substrate sensitivity.
• Selection of cleaning method based on surface and graffiti type. This can include chemical cleaners, pressure washing and mechanical cleaning as required.
• Removal and cleaning of residues, ensuring the surface is ready for repainting or sealing if needed.
• Optional protective coatings such as anti graffiti coatings to deter future tagging.

If your property has sensitive surfaces such as heritage brick, soft stone or glazed surfaces we take extra care. We aim to remove graffiti effectively while preserving the integrity of the material. After cleaning we can apply a clear anti graffiti coating to inhibit future tagging and make subsequent cleanups easier. Anti graffiti coatings create a barrier that allows graffiti to be cleaned off with less effort in the future. It is a smart investment for frequently targeted properties and busy retail environments along busy routes in Haggerston.

Environmental and safety considerations

We operate with strict safety standards. Our team is trained to work around pedestrians, with appropriate signage, and to protect nearby plants, vehicles and property from cleaning agents. We also aim to use environmentally friendly products whenever possible and comply with local regulations on waste disposal. Our approach is practical and responsible, with a focus on reducing disruption to residents and businesses while achieving the best cleaning results.

When dealing with graffiti on glass or metal surfaces we take extra care to avoid scratching or clouding. For porous surfaces such as brick and concrete we choose cleaners that lift pigment without leaving residue or dulling the texture of the surface. If a surface requires refinishing after graffiti removal we can discuss options such as a fresh coat of paint or a protective sealant to lock in the finished look.

Preventive strategies for long term results in Haggerston

Protection from graffiti is not only about removing paint. You can take steps to reduce future tagging and maintain a clean appearance. We recommend:

• Applying a clear anti graffiti coating on newly cleaned surfaces to deter future tagging.
• Using high quality exterior paints and sealants that resist spray paint penetration.
• Improved lighting and security cameras in business premises which act as deterrents.
• Visible signage indicating a zero tolerance approach to vandalism in and around the property.
• Regular maintenance checks to catch graffiti early before it can attract more tagging.

We are happy to discuss these options with you. Our team can assess your property and suggest the best long term plan for keeping surfaces clean and protected in the Haggerston area.
