What graffiti we remove in Sanderstead

Graffiti can appear in many forms and on a range of surfaces. In Sanderstead we commonly deal with traditional spray paint tags and throw ups on brickwork render and metal. We also encounter acid etched graffiti on glass and sometimes on preserved signage. Each type requires a different approach to ensure the surface is not damaged and the graffiti is removed fully. Here is a breakdown of the types we see most often in Sanderstead and how we handle them.

• Traditional graffiti This includes single colour tags and larger throw ups created with spray paint or marker pens. On brickwork or rendered surfaces traditional graffiti can penetrate the pores and create a lasting stain if not removed properly.
• Acid etched graffiti This is a more serious form of vandalism where acid or caustic substances have etched into the surface often leaving a ghosted or frosted appearance. We use specialist techniques to lift the etching and in some cases we resurface or seal the area to prevent re-etching.
• Stencil art and pieces Detailed designs may require careful removal to avoid leaving shadow marks. Our technicians work to preserve the surface while removing the pigment evenly.
• Glass signage and windows Glass requires a delicate approach especially when there are etched marks or coatings. We offer glass specific removal methods that protect the integrity of the pane.
• Wood and timber Graffiti on wooden surfaces can soak in quickly. We select cleaners that lift dye without causing damage to the wood fibres and we apply protective coatings after cleaning.
• Metal surfaces Metal signage and frames can corrode if improper cleaners are used. Our team uses metal safe solutions followed by anti graffiti protective coatings where appropriate.

Whatever surface you have in Sanderstead whether it be brickwork along Sanderstead Hill or signage on a shopfront near Limpsfield Road we approach each job with a surface aware plan. We explain the cleaner choice and the steps before we start so you know exactly what to expect.

Surface types we treat in Sanderstead

Different surfaces require different removal strategies. In Sanderstead we frequently clean brickwork render timber uPVC glass steel and aluminium. Each surface has its own characteristics and our technicians tailor their approach accordingly.

• Brickwork Paint often soaks into the porous brick. We use a combination of chemical cleaners and controlled mechanical action to lift the graffiti without damaging the masonry.
• Render Render can be delicate. We choose milder cleaners and test a small area first to avoid streaking or weakening the surface.
• Glass and signage Acid etched marks on glass require careful handling. We may use restorative techniques or replace damaged panes if necessary while keeping disruption to a minimum.
• Metal surfaces Metal signage and frames can corrode if aggressive cleaners are used. We select metal safe products and follow up with protective finishes to reduce future staining.
• Timber and wood Graffiti on wood can be particularly stubborn. We use products designed to lift pigment without causing warping or finish damage.
• Plastic and PVC For shopfronts and window frames we apply cleaners that do not attack plastics and we avoid etching or clouding the surface.

Our team can work on a range of situations from residential facades to commercial storefronts along Croham Road and the nearby areas. We take extra care with any properties that have sensitive installations such as lighting fixtures or CCTV cameras ensuring we do not disrupt equipment during the removal process.
