We are not just fast we are careful. Some graffiti removal tasks require gentler methods to protect historic brickwork or delicate logo markings. Our technicians assess each surface before choosing the right technique ensuring the finish is uniform and long lasting. In Highbury this matters because many properties have architectural features that must be preserved while removing graffiti. We specialise in preserving the integrity of surfaces while restoring the original appearance of the building.
What types of graffiti we remove in Highbury
Graffiti comes in many forms and each type may require a different approach. Here are the most common kinds we encounter around Highbury along with how we handle them and why you should choose professional removal.
Traditional spray paint tags and throw ups
One of the most common graffiti types is a signature tag or throw up created with spray paint. These surfaces can range from brick walls to metal doors and wooden fences. Our team uses targeted cleaning blends and scrubbing techniques to remove paint without sanding away the texture of the surface. We tailor the cleaning method to the substrate keeping your property safe and looking like new.
Stencils and photorealistic images
Stencils and more complex designs can require more careful treatment to avoid surface damage. We remove the stencil residue and paint while maintaining the integrity of the underlying material. If the mural has value or significance we provide options to preserve some elements when appropriate and legal.
Acid etched graffiti
Acid etched graffiti is a tougher challenge. It happens when corrosive liquids etch marks into glass metal or certain coated surfaces. This kind of graffiti needs specialist removal techniques which may involve chemical treatments or careful resurfacing to restore clarity and brightness. Our team has the training and equipment to tackle acid etched graffiti on commercial storefronts glass panels and other sensitive surfaces while minimising risk to the substrate.
Permanent marks and hand painted graffiti
Sometimes graffiti is carved or painted into softer materials like timber boards or plaster. In these cases we apply surface friendly solutions that lift the marks without causing additional damage. We understand the difference between removal and surface restoration and we aim to deliver both where possible.
Adhesive backed posters and stickers
Adhesive residue from posters or stickers can be stubborn especially on metal and glass. We carefully remove the materials and clean the leftover residue leaving the surface flawless and ready for protective coating if required.

3. Containment and surface protection
Before any cleaning begins we take steps to contain the work area. This helps keep broken paint from spreading and reduces the risk to nearby plants or vehicles. We move or cover items that could be affected and we use edge protection around windows and frames if required. This step is crucial in busy Highbury streets where foot traffic and storefronts are close to the work area.
4. Surface specific cleaning method selection
Different surfaces require different approaches. Brickwork might respond best to gentle solvent based cleaners coupled with soft brushing while glass often benefits from controlled chemical treatment and careful rinse to preserve clarity. Metal surfaces may need rust inhibitors or protective coatings and timber surfaces are treated with products that do not cause swelling or staining. We explain the chosen method and why it is the best option for your property.
5. Clean up and final inspection
After the graffiti is removed we perform a thorough check to ensure all markings are gone and that the surface texture is even. We remove all cleaning residues and if needed we apply a protective anti graffiti coating to help deter future vandalism. We also evaluate whether any minor touch ups are required and arrange a follow up if needed.
6. Post work support and prevention options
We provide guidance on prevention measures which can be particularly beneficial in active Highbury areas. Options may include anti graffiti coatings industry standard clear sealants or anti tagging sprays. We are happy to discuss maintenance plans and how to rapidly redeploy our services if graffiti returns.

Understanding the terms we use
Before we begin we often explain a few terms so you understand what the team will do. If we mention acid etched graffiti that means the surface has been chemically etched by acid resulting in marks that may require specialty cleaners or refinishing. A traditional graffiti cleaning refers to removal of spray paint tags or stencils by methods that restore the surface. Anti graffiti coating is a protective layer applied after cleaning to deter future tagging and make future removals quicker and easier.
