What is graffiti and why remove it

Graffiti is any form of writing drawing or symbols applied to property without permission. In Paddington it can appear as traditional graffiti with spray paint tags as well as more intrusive forms such as acid etched graffiti. There are several common types we encounter that require different cleaning approaches:

• Traditional graffiti this is spray painted marks typically on exterior walls fences and signage. It can be colorful or monochrome and often covers clean lines on brick render or metal.
• Tagging simple one sentence marks which can spread quickly across a surface especially on porous materials like brick or concrete.
• Acid etched graffiti this is a more permanent form of vandalism where an acid based chemical is used to etch the surface. It can damage glass stone and some types of tile and requires specialist removal techniques to recover the original appearance.
• Marker graffiti felt tip or biro style marks on walls doors and glass surfaces which can be tricky to remove on porous materials.
• Stencil and rolled graffiti more complex patterns or letters that may require targeted cleaning to avoid spreading to adjacent areas.

Removing graffiti promptly is important for several reasons. It protects the property value and curb appeal of Paddington buildings and it reduces the risk of further vandalism. Clean surfaces act as a deterrent because they communicate care for the area and a willingness to maintain spaces. When graffiti is left untreated it can encourage more tagging and more serious acts over time. For businesses in Paddington quick removal helps protect entryways customer areas and signage ensuring a professional first impression for clients and visitors alike.

Our Paddington process

We aim to make graffiti removal straightforward and predictable. Here is the typical process our Paddington team follows from first contact to completed cleaning.

Initial contact and on site assessment

When you reach out to us we gather essential information such as the location on Paddington street the surface type and a rough description of the graffiti. If possible you will send photos so we can assess scope before attending. A member of our team will confirm a suitable time to visit and carry out a quick on site inspection. We look at the material type the age of the graffiti the degree of staining and potential risks to the substrate during cleaning. This assessment helps us determine the safest most effective method and whether the job can be completed on the same day.

Safety and containment

Graffiti removal can involve wet cleaning chemical products and pressure washing. It is important to protect surrounding areas from overspray and to safeguard people nearby especially in busy Paddington streets and commercial areas. Our technicians use protective coverings and containment strategies to prevent cleaners from affecting windows doors or landscaped areas. We also take precautions to protect nearby plants and avoid runoff into drainage systems in line with local regulations.

Cleaning methods and products we use

We tailor cleaning methods to the surface and the type of graffiti. In Paddington you will see us using a combination of methods designed to be effective while minimizing any risk to the substrate.

• Low pressure washing this method uses controlled water pressure to lift paint from brick render and stone without damaging delicate surfaces.
• Biodegradable cleaners we prefer cleaners formulated to break down quickly with minimal environmental impact. These products are chosen for safety around people plants and pets while delivering solid cleaning performance.
• Poultice and solvent based treatments for stubborn marks and marker graffiti on porous materials we apply a poultice or a gentle solvent following safety guidelines to avoid damage.
• Specialist gels and brushes for glass metal and smooth surfaces where painting may have penetrated ridges or engravings.
• Acid etched graffiti specialists for this challenging form we use methods that remove the etched layer while preserving the underlying material. In some cases a light polishing may be needed after removal.

Color matching and inspection

After the graffiti is removed we check the area to ensure the colour and texture match the surrounding surface as closely as possible. If there is minor shade difference we may apply a light touch up or a protective coating to unify the finish. Paddington property owners often appreciate a natural finish that does not look patched or obviously altered. We always provide a clear explanation of any adjustments required and we will not proceed with any additional work without your consent.

Post clean inspection and aftercare

We perform a final inspection with you to confirm the result and ensure there are no remaining marks. If you opt for an anti graffiti coating we can discuss this option at the end of the cleaning. Anti graffiti coatings create a protective layer that makes future graffiti easier to wipe off while preserving the original look of the surface. We can tailor a maintenance plan for your Paddington property including regular checks and rapid re cleaners if needed. We believe in giving Paddington customers practical long term solutions not just a one off clean.

The types of graffiti we remove

Understanding the different forms of graffiti helps homeowners and businesses in Paddington know what to expect from removal services. Here is a detailed overview of the main types we regularly encounter and how we approach them.

• Spray paint graffiti this is the most common kind and can be on brick glass metal or timber. It usually responds well to low pressure washing and biodegradable cleaners with special care on porous surfaces to avoid texture loss.
• Marker graffiti marker pens produce dense marks that can soak into porous surfaces. We use targeted cleaning for deep staining and avoid spreading the pigment to adjacent areas.
• Acid etched graffiti this is particularly challenging because acids alter the surface itself. Specialized removal methods are needed to restore the surface while avoiding damage.
• Stencil graffiti repetitive designs often cover larger areas. Our method focuses on removing pigment without leaving trace lines that reveal underlying patterns.
• Tags and layered graffiti in busy Paddington locations tags can accumulate quickly. We remove fresh tags efficiently and address older layers with attention to the substrate.

Anti graffiti protection and aftercare in Paddington
