Graffiti Removal Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Should I have the graffiti removed now or wait to see if I get hit with more?
A. The fresher the graffiti is the easier it is to remove. Graffiti can get baked onto substrates via the suns ultra violet rays making it more difficult to break down. To deter graffiti vandals hitting your wall and to ensure the greatest removal success, you are best to remove the graffiti as early as possible (48 hours)
Q. How much do you charge?
A. We charge from as little as £30. It depends on the size of the graffiti, the surface it's on and also your location.
Q. What procedure do you use to remove graffiti?
A. The procedures we use are chemically based. We rely on chemically breaking the molecular bonds with the graffiti, drawing it to the surface and rinsing with water under pressure. This procedure insures no substrate damage takes place. It works superbly on masonry surfaces like brickwork and concrete.
Q. Are the chemicals dangerous?
A. All the chemical formulations we use are bio-degradable and safe to both our technicians and the general public. They do, like any other chemicals (petrol, dishwashing liquid, nail polish remover) require care when handling and should only be used but suitable qualified people. Data sheets are available upon request.
Q. Isn’t sand blasting a cheaper, easier method?
A. Sand blasting is no longer an acceptable method of removing graffiti, while it is quicker and cheaper, it causes irreversible damage to substrates and can lead to concrete cancer, problems with rising damp and brick degradation. It opens up the pores of brick work exposing it to the elements, which causes significant problems with sustaining a future graffiti attack.
