Types of graffiti we remove in Shoreditch

Shoreditch surfaces can present a mix of challenges from traditional spray painted graffiti to more intrusive forms like acid etched graffiti. Below are the main categories we remove most often in Shoreditch and the best way to approach each one.

• Traditional graffiti This includes tags throw ups and stylised lettering. Our cleaning methods focus on removing spray paint without damaging the substrate. On brick or concrete we use soft washing and carefully selected cleaning agents to lift the pigment without etching the surface.
• Stencil and paste graffiti Stencil art and pasted posters require a slightly different approach. We typically use a combination of gentle solvents and water based cleaners followed by thorough rinsing to remove adhesive residues and ensure a clean finish.
• Acid etched graffiti This form of vandalism can create permanent marks on glass metal or stone surfaces. We use specialised techniques to neutralise the acid and remove staining while protecting the underlying material. This work demands precision and experience to avoid damage and we have both in abundance in Shoreditch.
• Graffiti on glass and storefronts Glass is delicate and requires careful treatment. We target paint from the surface pores and where needed utilise methods that preserve the glass clarity while removing marks left by paint and inks. For etched marks we may use lighter abrasion and chemical neutralisers designed for glass surfaces.
• Graffiti on painted surfaces If a wall is already painted we tailor our approach to retain as much of the original paint as possible. Our team can apply protective coatings after cleaning to reduce future staining and to simplify future cleaning tasks.

We never guess when it comes to the best solution. We always begin with a surface assessment and we adapt our plan to match what the surface can handle and what the client needs. In Shoreditch you may see a mixture of brick render timber and metal surfaces. Each type calls for its own treatment and our teams are trained to identify the correct method for every situation. We are careful to protect pedestrians and neighbouring properties throughout the work and we make sure that our cleaning products are safe for the local environment.

Our sameday graffiti removal process in Shoreditch

When a Shoreditch client contacts us for graffiti removal we move quickly. Our sameday response is a core service because we know how important it is to restore a storefront or a wall in real time. Here is how we operate from first contact to final inspection.

1. Response and site assessment Our team confirms the job details and arrives ready with equipment. We perform a quick inspection to identify the surface type and the graffiti composition. We check for potential hazards and we plan the safest route for access. This step reduces any risk to passers by and to nearby property.
2. Containment and protection We isolate the affected area to prevent overspray and to protect windows doors and signage. If necessary we install protective coverings and we create a buffer zone with warning signs for safety.
3. Surface specific cleaning We choose the cleaning method based on surface type. For brick concrete and render we usually begin with a low pressure wash combined with biodegradable cleaners. For painted surfaces we use gentler methods to avoid removing original paint. For glass and metal we adjust the approach to prevent scratching or glass damage. For acid etched surfaces we apply a neutralising treatment followed by careful cleaning to remove stained residues.
4. Rinse and assessment After cleaning we rinse the surface thoroughly to remove any chemical residues. We perform a second visual inspection to confirm that the graffiti is fully removed and that the surface is uniform in colour and texture. If any trace remains we continue with targeted treatment until it disappears completely.
5. Protective finishing and aftercare Depending on the surface we may apply a protective coating to ease future cleaning. A breathable sealant on brick or render can reduce penetration of paint pigments. On glass we may recommend a hydrophobic coating to slow future staining. We always discuss aftercare steps with you so you know how to maintain the cleaned area between visits.
6. Final check and documentation We perform a final check to ensure that the property looks as intended. We provide a brief written report for the client that outlines the work completed and any recommendations for maintenance or future protection. If you want to share photos with your insurer we can supply them as needed.

Throughout the entire process we keep communication clear and direct. There are no surprises and we never push for work you do not need. The goal is to restore the surface while preserving its integrity and appearance. Our Shoreditch clients value transparency and reliability and that is exactly what we deliver.

Why removal matters in Shoreditch

Removing graffiti in Shoreditch supports several important goals. First and foremost it helps maintain a clean and welcoming streetscape. A storefront that looks cared for encourages foot traffic and builds trust with customers. It also helps protect the local character while reducing the risk of property damage that can occur when graffiti is left to weather and deteriorate. Graffiti can create a sense of disorder which makes people less likely to visit. Quick removal helps keep the area vibrant and prosperous for both residents and businesses.

Secondly graffiti removal contributes to safety. Some graffiti areas attract repeated tagging and street art growing on metal fencing or on windows and doors can be a source of risk if edges are damaged. Our careful removal method reduces the chance of sharp edges or unstable surfaces while keeping the area safe for pedestrians and workers.

Thirdly removing graffiti supports property values. Clean walls reflect care and management. When a building looks well maintained potential buyers and tenants see less risk and more appeal. This is especially important for shopfronts galleries and offices that rely on a positive first impression. We know how to protect historic surfaces found in Shoreditch while removing vandalism in a way that respects the past and supports the present day usage of the property.

Surface compatibility and safety first

Different surfaces in Shoreditch require different cleaning strategies. Here is a quick guide to the surfaces we commonly encounter and how we approach them in a safe and effective manner.

• Brick and render For brick and render walls we use low to medium pressure washing and gentle cleaners designed to lift pigment without eroding the surface. We monitor depth of cleaning to avoid exposing rough textures or revealing old layers of paint that should be preserved.
• Wood Wooden surfaces such as fences and shutters receive a careful cleaning to prevent moisture driven swelling. We often apply protective coating after cleaning to help repel future graffiti and to extend the life of the wood.
• Glass Glass requires a mild approach with attention to window integrity. We remove graffiti from glass while keeping the clarity of the pane and the seal intact.
• Metal Metal surfaces might have paint built up or rust present. We adjust cleaning chemicals to avoid corrosion and we may seal the metal after cleaning to prevent future adhesion of paint.
• Historic materials Some Shoreditch properties feature historic brickwork or stone. We take extra care with these to avoid damage and we use materials that are compatible with the specifics of historic surfaces.

In all cases we carry public liability insurance and our technicians are trained in height safety and in cleaning techniques that protect both people and property. We consider the impact on neighbours and minimise disruption to surrounding businesses during the work. Our aim is to deliver a professional service with a friendly touch and a clear explanation of every step we take.

Our Shoreditch crew brings a range of modern tools designed for large scale graffiti removal while keeping the process safe and environmentally responsible. We use:

• High pressure cleaning equipment with adjustable pressure settings to match the surface

• Biodegradable cleaners that are powerful yet family and pet friendly
• Targeted solvents for stubborn graffiti that are selected to protect underlying surfaces
• Access gear such as extendable poles ladders and stabilised platforms to reach higher walls safely

We are mindful of environmental impact and always choose the least invasive method effective for the job. Aftercare recommendations are shared with you so that you can keep surfaces looking clean for longer between visits.
