Graffiti on timber metal concrete masonry and glass surfaces requires careful handling. Different surfaces call for different techniques to avoid damage. Some types of graffiti can be etched into the surface when left untreated. Acid etched graffiti is particularly challenging and requires specialist removal methods. Our technicians are trained to assess the surface choose the safest effective approach and complete the job with minimal disruption to your day to day operations.

What types of graffiti we remove in Southwark

We remove a wide range of graffiti on many surfaces. In Southwark traditional graffiti tags and throw ups often appear on brick walls shopfronts and fences. These lines spray paint and stylised lettering can conflict with a building s design and branding. We also regularly remove more stubborn graffiti on robust surfaces that have weathered over the years. The following lists cover the main categories we handle.

Traditional graffiti and tag work

Traditional graffiti involves spray painted letters shapes and symbols. It is usually created with spray cans and can cover large areas or small focal points. These marks can be bright bold and built up over time. Our team uses proven cleaning methods to lift the pigment from the surface while keeping the underlying material intact. On porous surfaces such as brick or rough render we may apply a gentle cleaner to soften the paint before extraction. We always test a small patch first to confirm the surface will tolerate the cleaning method without damage.

Acid etched graffiti

Acid etched graffiti is more challenging because it embeds into the surface using acidic cleaners or a corrosive mist. This type of graffiti can be harder to remove and may require specialist equipment and chemical treatments. We use industry approved processes that are safe for the environment and for the surface being cleaned. Our team follows a precise sequence including area containment for safety and careful removal steps to restore the appearance of brick stone metal or glass without creating new damage. If you have acid etched graffiti on a historic feature or a sensitive surface we will take extra care and test a patch before proceeding with a full clean.

Graffiti on stone brick metal and glass

Different materials respond to cleaning differently. Brick and stone can absorb pigment so we may use a combination of pressure washing low pressure washing and chemical cleaners designed for masonry. Metal rails and panels can be cleaned with non abrading methods to prevent micro scratches. Glass surfaces often benefit from a targeted cleaner that removes residue without leaving streaks. In Southwark many storefronts use a mix of brick and glass which requires careful handling so the end result looks cohesive and professional.

Our process for graffiti removal in Southwark

We follow a proven process designed to deliver consistent results with minimal risk to your property. The exact method depends on the surface and the type of graffiti. Here is how we typically work from arrival to finish.

Initial contact and site survey

When you contact us we arrange a convenient time for a site visit. A technician visits the site to inspect the graffiti and assess the surface. We consider factors such as the age of the graffiti the type of paint the weathering effects and the surrounding environment. This helps us determine the safest and most effective cleaning approach. We may take a few photos for our records to ensure we can reproduce the same level of quality on future graffiti removal tasks in Southwark.

Safety planning and protection

Protecting people and property is essential. We cover nearby plants windows and surfaces that do not need cleaning. We place warning signs if necessary and ensure the work area is clearly defined. If the site is a storefront we work after hours when needed to avoid disrupting customers. Our technicians wear protective gear and use equipment that minimizes dust and debris.

Testing and selecting the cleaning method

Before a full clean we test a small patch on a discreet area. This helps us determine how the surface reacts to the chosen cleaner. It also ensures that the cleaning method will not degrade the surface. Once the patch test confirms the method is safe we proceed with the full graffiti removal job. When dealing with sensitive surfaces such as historic brick or delicate timber we proceed slowly and monitor the reaction of the surface to the cleaners.

Cleaning and cleaning duration

The cleaning duration can vary depending on the size of the graffiti and the surface. We work efficiently and maintain a steady pace while keeping a close eye on the surface quality. For large shopfronts we may split the work into stages to keep disruption to your business at a minimum. In most cases we finish the primary cleaning within a few hours and we conduct a final inspection to ensure the area looks clean and restores the original appearance of the surface.

Aftercare and sealing

After the removal we discuss aftercare options. Anti graffiti coatings can be applied to reduce future tag persistence. These protective sealants create a barrier that makes it easier to remove graffiti in the future. We explain the benefits and cost of applying a coating on the specific surface and whether it is a good fit for your Southwark property. If you choose not to apply a coating you can still have peace of mind knowing that we will respond quickly again if you need a future cleanup.

Quality check and customer sign off

We conduct a thorough quality check to ensure satisfaction. We compare the cleaned area with the original condition and ensure there is no residue or staining left behind. We provide care instructions to help maintain the surface. We also share guidance on waste disposal and any follow up steps if needed.
