Graffiti removal and anti-graffiti protection
Repeat tagging is a maintenance cost, not a one-off. The way a frontage is coated decides whether the next clean-down takes an hour or another full repaint.
Removal without ghosting
Aggressive solvents can lift the tag and the substrate colour with it, leaving a pale ghost that draws more attention than the graffiti. Test patches in a discreet area come first.
Sacrificial coatings
A sacrificial barrier washes off with the graffiti and is reapplied afterwards. It suits porous masonry and heritage frontages where a permanent film would be inappropriate.
Permanent anti-graffiti systems
Permanent clear coatings survive repeated cleaning cycles and suit high-repeat locations such as shutters, service doors and street-facing panels.
Planning for repeat maintenance
For commercial clients we record the exact colour references and coating system used, so a callout is a straightforward reinstatement rather than a fresh specification exercise.

Common questions
Can graffiti be removed without repainting?
Often yes, especially where an anti-graffiti coating is already in place or the substrate is non-porous.
Which is better, sacrificial or permanent?
Sacrificial suits porous and heritage surfaces; permanent suits high-repeat, non-porous areas like shutters.
Will removal leave a mark?
It can on porous masonry, which is why we test first and, where needed, treat the full panel.
Do you keep our colour on record?
Yes, we log the colour and system for commercial clients so repeat visits match exactly.
