Stone Shopfront Graffiti Removal
Tagged overnight? We remove graffiti from stone shopfronts across London before you open, with no need to close and nobody from the shop on site. Granite stallrisers, stone pilasters, marble facing, fascias and the glass beside them. A crew can be with you within three hours of your go-ahead, seven days a week, and every unit gets one fixed price before we start.

Shopfront Graffiti Removal Before You Open
A tag across the front of a shop costs you trade from the moment the shutter goes up. Customers read it as a sign that nobody is looking after the place. So we work to your opening time, not ours.
Most of our shopfront jobs are done at first light or after close. Our vans carry their own water and power, so we do not need a tap, a socket or a key. You can leave the shutter down, get on with your morning and find the front clean when you arrive. Weekend and early-morning slots cost the same as a weekday.
Recent Graffiti Removal From Stone Projects
Who We Clean For

- Banks, estate agents and bookmakers on busy high streets that get hit weekly.
The Stone On A London Shopfront
Shopfronts carry some of the hardest-working stone in the city, and each piece needs its own approach.
| Granite stallrisers | The dark, polished panels below the window. Tags come off, but the shine goes with them if anyone uses an abrasive. |
| Stone pilasters | The upright columns between units, often Portland or other limestone. Porous, so paint soaks in and needs drawing out. |
| Marble facing | Common on pubs and older banks. Acid cleaners strip its polish in minutes. |
| Fascias and cornices | Stone, render or painted timber at the top of the front, cleaned from ladders or a small platform. |
| Glazing and door glass | Spray and marker on glass, and scratched or etched tags handled by our acid-etched graffiti removal team. |
Whitton High Street is a good picture of it. Richmond's village planning SPD lists the "Black granite stall-riser" among the 1930s details on its shops, alongside "Pilasters (important for subdividing units)". On Uxbridge Road in Shepherd's Bush, the Queen Adelaide pub has "green and black marble facing on the ground floor". Those are exactly the surfaces we clean every week.

What A Rushed Clean Costs A Shop
When the tag has to go before opening, speed matters. On stone, a rushed clean can cost more than the graffiti did.
- Dull patches on a polished granite stallriser that no amount of buffing on site will fix.
- A pale square on a limestone pilaster, brighter than every other unit on the parade.
- Etched or cloudy marble where an acidic product was left to sit.
- Ghost outlines of the tag, still readable once the paint has gone.
We avoid all four by choosing the method for the stone, not for the speed. Our granite graffiti removal and marble graffiti removal services use soft, non-acid treatments that keep the polish, and we still finish before you trade.
One Visit For The Whole Parade
Graffiti rarely stops at one shop. If your neighbours have been hit too, we can clean the whole run in a single early visit and price every unit separately, so each business pays only for its own front. Landlords and agents can have one invoice with a line per unit for service charge recovery.
Retail groups with repeat problems can move onto a stone graffiti removal contract, with a set response time and one number for every branch.

Your Price, Fixed Before We Arrive
We quote one figure per unit, based on the stone, the size of the mark and the height. It includes a test on a small area where the stone is sensitive, the full clean, access and a completion report you can send to your landlord or insurer. There is no survey and no charge for the quote. The fastest way to get it is our stone graffiti removal quote form.
Paperwork For Head Office And Your Landlord
Chains and franchise groups need more than a clean front. Every shopfront job comes with the documents a procurement team or landlord will ask for:
- A method statement naming the treatment for each stone on the front.
- A risk assessment that covers the footway and your customers, not only our operative.
- COSHH data for every product we use.
- A completion report with the date, time and method, ready to forward.
- A purchase order reference on the invoice if you give us one.
Offensive Graffiti On A Shopfront
Racist, abusive or obscene tags go to the top of our list. We attend within three hours and, where the stone needs longer treatment, cover the content on arrival so your customers never see it.

How Much Does Shopfront Graffiti Removal Cost?

Do We Need To Close Or Be There?
No. We bring our own water and power and work around your shutter and your customers.
Will Cleaning Dull Our Granite Or Marble?
Not with our methods. We use soft, non-acid treatments chosen to keep the polish.
Can You Do The Glass At The Same Time?
Yes. Paint and marker on glass are cleaned on the same visit, and etched tags can be quoted alongside.
