Types of graffiti we remove in Waddon

Graffiti comes in many forms the type you see on your property will determine the best removal technique. We handle a full range from simple tags to more complex pieces and in some cases acid etched graffiti requires specialist treatment. Here is a breakdown of what we commonly remove in Waddon:

• Tagging Quick spray paint tags typically covering small wall sections. Fast and cost effective removal is usually possible with our solvent based systems or paint over if required.
• Throw ups Larger bubble style letters that may cover more surface area. This type can be cleaned efficiently using pressure washing or chemical removers depending on the surface.
• Pieces Mid sized graffiti artworks with more detail. We match cleaning methods to preserve surrounding textures while removing the artwork.
• Acid etched graffiti A difficult form where acids have etched into the surface. We use specialised treatment to lift the residue and restore the appearance without causing further damage.
• Stencil graffiti Reusable patterns that require targeted cleaning.
• Embellished surfaces Some areas in Waddon have textured brick or render where careful application of cleaners is necessary to avoid surface damage.

Our technicians assess the surface type first identifying whether brick, render, metal or timber surfaces are involved. This initial step is important to choose the right cleaning solution and process. We never take a one size fits all approach because each surface reacts differently to solvents and water pressure. When we start work we will explain the chosen method and what results you can expect.
