Step 2. On site assessment and safety checks

Our skilled technicians visit the site to assess the graffiti and the surface. We check the substrate whether it is brick concrete render glass wood metal or painted surfaces. We determine the right method for removal and whether we need to apply a protective sealant afterwards to reduce the chance of future tagging. We also consider environmental factors such as weather which can influence the removal method and the time required.

We employ proven methods that are safe for people pets and plants. When dealing with traditional graffiti we use gentle yet effective cleaners and controlled power washing where appropriate. For etched graffiti we use specialized techniques to restore the surface without creating further damage. If a surface is particularly fragile or historic we take extra care and may apply a solvent cleaner in a controlled manner. For stubborn marks we may revisit the site on a second pass to ensure complete removal. Our goal is to restore the original look of the surface while keeping it protected in the future.

Step 4. Surface protection and aftercare

After removal we often apply an anti graffiti coating or sealant suitable for the surface. This makes future graffiti easier to remove should it occur again.

We also offer advice on keeping entrances walls and signage protected including how to select coatings that suit brick plaster metal glass and timber surfaces.

Traditional graffiti

This covers spray paint smears lines and tag marks left by markers or paint pens. Traditional graffiti is often the most common in urban settings and can be removed with carefully chosen cleaners and methods that preserve the underlying surface while removing colour.

Stickers and posters
