Why Stratford residents and businesses choose DUA London Graffiti Removal

Stratford is a busy hub in East London with a mix of residential streets, commercial spaces and high footfall areas. The area benefits from the Stratford Town Centre, the world famous Westfield Stratford City shopping complex and the nearby Olympic Park. With so much activity comes the risk of graffiti appearing on shops, offices, residential blocks and transport facilities. Prompt removal is important for several reasons. First impressions matter. A clean frontage signals to customers and residents that the property is cared for. Second, graffiti can cause longer term damage to surfaces if left untreated. The longer graffiti sits on a surface the harder it can be to remove and the more likely it is to require a costly treatment later. Third, timely removal helps deter future tagging. When graffiti is allowed to stay it can invite more tagging from local crews who see a surface as a target. Our Stratford service is designed to address all of these concerns quickly and effectively.

We operate a transparent pricing model with no hidden fees. When you request a quote we explain what is required and why. We believe in working with you as a partner rather than a contractor who leaves you with questions. Our tag line says it all We make removing graffiti from your property effortless No lazy Contractors No hidden fees Just expert graffiti removal every single time. This approach means you get reliable scheduling, a clear plan for cleaning and after care, and a results driven process that restores the look of your property as soon as possible.

Stratford at a glance and local references you might recognise

Stratford has its own unique blend of street life and architecture. The main transport arteries at Stratford include the A12 Highway which passes nearby and links into central London, making Stratford a popular location for businesses and residents who rely on quick access to the city. The Broadway, also known as Stratford High Street, runs through the centre of Stratford and is a constant source of commercial graffiti activity. In addition to the busy retail streets, you will find graffiti on brick walls of older period properties, on metal railings around car parks, and on glass along commercial storefronts. Our team understands the textures you will see in Stratford from the brick faced terraces around The Grove to the modern render finishes on new build offices near Westfield. We have experience cleaning graffiti across these different surfaces and we bring the right tools for the job every time.

Notable local routes and places to consider when planning graffiti removal include Romford Road and Leytonstone Road which connect Stratford to other parts of East London. The proximity to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park can mean large open spaces that sometimes attract mural art and community projects. We treat every site as a local case study and tailor our approach to the exact environment. If you own a property on Stratford High Street or in the surrounding lanes such as The Grove, Romford Road or Water Lane you can count on us to respond quickly and restore your property to its best appearance.

What types of graffiti we remove in Stratford

Graffiti comes in many forms and it is important to know what we are dealing with so you can understand the process. In Stratford you are likely to encounter several common types including traditional spray paint graffiti, throw ups which are a quick series of letters or shapes, and more persistent tags that cover larger areas. In addition you may come across acid etched graffiti. Acid etched graffiti is more challenging because it removes a thin layer of the surface material by chemical action. It tends to appear on glass and polished metal surfaces and requires specialised cleaners and methods to avoid further damage to the surface. Our team has the experience and equipment to remove all these types safely and effectively.

Other graffiti related issues you might encounter include sticker bombing where large numbers of stickers are applied to surfaces, stencil art that was added as a quick mark, and weathering marks where pigment has become embedded in porous materials. We treat each surface with the appropriate removal technique. For brick and plaster walls we may use a combination of chemical cleaners and mechanical methods such as soft brushing or controlled abrasion to protect the substrate. For glass and metal surfaces we often start with gel based cleaners that lift paint without scratching and follow with a gentle rinse to prevent residue. For painted metal we may use safe solvent based removers followed by a protective rinse. Our aim is to remove the graffiti without harming the underlying surface and to leave the area ready for the next stage of maintenance or repaint.

Stratford graffiti removal process explained

We keep the process simple and transparent. When you contact us for a quote we schedule a site visit or provide a remote assessment where possible and explain the plan in plain language. The steps below outline what typically happens on a Stratford project.

Step 1 We assess the site

On arrival our supervisor conducts a quick but thorough assessment. We identify the surface type, the extent of the graffiti and any hazards such as broken glass or loose surface material. We check for any sensitive surroundings such as public walkways, schools or healthcare facilities in the area and adjust the access plan accordingly. If there is any risk to passers by we implement a temporary containment plan so the area remains safe while work is in progress.

Step 2 We prepare the area

Safety comes first. We lay down protective coverings and set up any required signage. Our team uses appropriate protective equipment and works to minimise disruption to nearby businesses and residents. If the graffiti is on a storefront we coordinate with the management to ensure access remains clear. We identify a preferred working height and use the correct tools for the surface including brushes, soft pads, and low abrasion methods to preserve the underlying material.

Step 3 We select the right removal method

The method is chosen based on the surface and the type of graffiti. For traditional spray paint on brick or render we may use a gel cleaner that is applied in layers and then gently scrubbed. For stubborn graffiti on smooth surfaces such as glass we may start with a safer solvent cleaner and move to more aggressive solutions if required while ensuring no damage to the substrate. Acid etched graffiti demands specialised techniques that remove the markings without etching further into the material. We explain the method to you before we begin so there are no surprises.

Step 4 We perform the removal

We carry out the removal with careful, controlled action. We monitor temperature, surface texture and the level of residue left after cleaning. If the graffiti is on a porous surface we may employ poultices to draw out the pigments from the pores. We rinse thoroughly to leave a clean surface and we inspect for any remaining traces. In many Stratford cases we can achieve a near flawless finish in a single visit, while more complex surfaces or large scale tagging may require more than one visit. Our team keeps you informed about timing and what to expect at every stage.

Step 5 After care and prevention options

After removal we assess whether any surface protection could help reduce future tagging. We may recommend anti graffiti coatings or protective sealants appropriate for the surface. These coatings create a sacrificial layer that makes future cleaning easier and quicker. We also discuss prioritisation for repaint or touch up if the surface requires it. Although we aim to remove graffiti entirely we recognise that some surfaces can benefit from a fresh coat of paint to restore appearance fully. Our team can arrange this as part of a follow up if needed.

Step 6 Final check and customer sign off

We walk the site with you or your designate to confirm that the job meets your expectations. We explain any limitations and provide maintenance guidance for the future. If you require a certificate of completion or a written summary for your property file we supply it. We also help you plan for future needs and can return to Stratford if another incident occurs.

Stratford surfaces we commonly encounter and how we treat them

Stratford features a mix of materials from brick and render to glass and metal. Each surface demands a tailored approach. Here is a quick guide to common Stratford surfaces and our handling method.

• Brick and render walls These are common in Stratford alleyways and old shopfronts. We use gel cleaners and gentle brushing to lift paint before rinsing. We act with care to protect the mortar and avoid efflorescence or damage to the surface.
• Painted render We treat render with low abrasion techniques and avoid aggressive scrubbing which could cause peeling. The goal is to remove graffiti without compromising the render finish.
• Glass storefronts Glass requires careful handling to prevent scratching. We start with non abrasive cleaners and only use stronger solvents if necessary with immediate rinsing to avoid any pitting or streaks.
• Metal surfaces Metal can be sensitive to solvents and abrasives. We select cleaners that are compatible with the type of metal and apply protective coatings if appropriate to deter future graffiti.
• Wood and timber features Timber can swell or warp if exposed to excessive moisture. We use controlled cleaning and minimal moisture to protect the wood and finish.

In Stratford you will also encounter signage, railings and fixtures that can collect graffiti. We treat these with the same care to prevent damage and ensure a crisp appearance after cleaning. If you have a mixed site such as a storefront with glass on the front and brick on the side we adapt the plan to handle both surfaces in a single visit, minimising disruption.

Why graffiti removal in Stratford matters for property owners

Graffiti affects property values and curb appeal in Stratford just as it does in other parts of London. A clean storefront or residential facade signals care and professionalism. It can influence how customers and neighbours perceive a business trust and safety in the area. Timely removal reduces the risk of repeat tagging by removing the incentive to mark a surface repeatedly. It also helps to maintain a welcoming environment for shoppers visiting Stratford’s retail lanes such as The Broadway and the surrounding streets. For landlords and property managers, graffiti removal supports compliance with local regulations and keeps communal areas looking tidy for residents and visitors alike.

We understand that cost matters. Our pricing is transparent and straightforward because we want you to feel confident about the work being done. There are no hidden fees and no surprises on the bill. If you are unsure about a surface or the likely outcome we explain it in plain language and offer a recommended plan with a clear price. Our aim is to deliver a clean, durable result that stands up to Stratford’s lively street life and frequent foot traffic.

We also take care to prevent any runoff or chemical exposure to nearby plants, pavements and drainage paths.
