Why should I hire a professional graffiti removal service?

Hiring a professional graffiti removalist can provide several advantages over attempting to do it yourself. A graffiti removal company has specialised tools, knowledge, and experience that can ensure the process is completed effectively and without causing further damage to the surface underneath. This is particularly important when dealing with sensitive materials like brick or historic buildings where improper removal methods could cause irreversible harm.

How do I stop graffiti on my house?

Preventing graffiti on your house involves a combination of strategies. Consider installing outdoor lighting, as well-lit areas are less likely to be targeted by vandals. Security cameras can also act as a deterrent and provide useful evidence if graffiti does occur. Applying anti-graffiti coating on your exterior walls can stop paint or ink penetrating deeply making it easier to clean. Keeping your property clean, well-maintained, and free of existing graffiti sends a message that the location is monitored and less likely to tolerate vandalism.

How long does graffiti last on walls?

How long graffiti lasts can vary depending on factors such as the type of paint used, the surface material of the wall, and the environmental conditions. Spray paint can last for several years on outdoor surfaces if left untreated. On the street where these drawings or markings are exposed to harsh weather conditions, the vibrancy of the paint may start to fade after a few years, but the graffiti itself can still be distinguishable for a long time.

Is it OK to paint over graffiti?

Where other graffiti removal methods may not be appropriate or feasible, painting over graffiti can be a viable option. This is particularly true when the urgency of maintaining the appearance of a structure is high. Though the method comes with potential challenges, especially with porous surfaces like brick or concrete where graffiti paint can penetrate deep into the tiny crevices, painting over graffiti can serve as a cost-effective solution.

Why is it important to remove graffiti quickly?

It is crucial to remove graffiti in a timely manner because of its detrimental impacts on both public and private spaces. Graffiti can be perceived as property damage, diminishing the visual appeal and value of a structure. When left unchecked, it might signal that neglect and disorder are tolerated in that area, causing further deterioration of the propertyâ€™s appearance. These signs of neglect can attract more undesirable activities, making the environment seem unsafe and potentially impacting local businesses or residents negatively.
