Types of graffiti you might see in King's Cross and how we tackle them

Traditional spray tag and mural graffiti

Traditional graffiti includes sprayed paint and freehand murals. These are usually on brick render metal or glass. Our technicians assess the surface and choose an approach that removes paint without damaging the underlying material. We use industry approved graffiti removers and if needed a gentle mechanical method such as soft brushing or low power washing. The goal is full removal without leaving stencil lines or ghosting behind. After treatment we can apply protective coating if you want ongoing deterrence against future tagging.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is a severe form of vandalism that etches into glass metal or stone creating permanent marks. It can be very challenging to remove. Our team has specific processes for acid etched graffiti that minimize the risk of industrial cleaners causing damage. We often use a combination of controlled chemical treatments followed by meticulous rinsing and if needed light abrasion under controlled conditions. We always test a small inconspicuous area first and we will not proceed beyond what the surface can tolerate.

Sticker bombing stencil and marker graffiti

Stickers and markers can be stubborn on smooth surfaces such as glass or metal and on rough surfaces like brick they can seep into the pores making removal slow. We approach each material with care. We remove stickers with gentle solvents and manual tools while protecting surrounding areas. For markers we may use solvent based cleaners or aqueous solutions designed for inks. In all cases we aim to avoid damage while restoring the original finish of the surface.

Graffiti on heritage or sensitive surfaces

King s Cross has many heritage style facades where the stone should not be scrubbed or abraded aggressively. Our technicians are trained to identify materials and apply the least invasive method that achieves complete removal. When needed we consult with property managers to arrange a protective plan for future vandalism prevention such as anti graffiti coatings or a protective sealant that preserves the character of the surface while still allowing easy removal of future tags.

surfaces we frequently treat in King's Cross

King s Cross features a mix of brickwork render metal glass and stone. The surfaces you need us to clean can influence the method we choose. Here is a quick guide to common surfaces and how we approach them.

• Brick and masonry A common surface in this area. We use cleaning solutions that remove paint without penetrating too deeply. If the surface is very porous we may use poulticing to draw out residue and reduce color staining. After removal a protective finish can be applied if you want to reduce future tagging.
• Render Cement render can accept cleaners but needs careful monitoring to avoid efflorescence or micro cracking. We perform patch tests and use gentle cleaners that are suitable for render.
• Stone Natural stone requires careful handling to avoid etching or dulling polish. We tailor the method to the stone type whether it is sandstone limestone or granite and we keep the patina intact where appropriate.
• Glass and metal signage We prioritize safe removal that preserves transparency and structural integrity. If needed we apply a light polish after removal to restore clarity and gloss on glass or maintain the luster of metal signage.
• Wood For wooden signage or trim we avoid harsh solvents and focus on non invasive approaches that protect the grain and finish while removing the graffiti.
