Unwanted graffiti is a nasty surprise, a serious eyesore and a significant threat to the value of your property.
At Nutech Cleaning, we get how frustrating it can be to discover graffiti on your home or business, and we’re here to help you get rid of it quickly and effectively. Here’s everything you need to know about removing graffiti and why choosing professional cleaning services like ours is your best bet.
Why Graffiti Removal Is Tricky
Getting rid of graffiti isn’t as simple as it looks. Different surfaces and types of spray paint require different methods. If you use the wrong technique, you might end up damaging your property. Some people try to use chemical solvents, pressure washers, or even just paint over the graffiti.
Whilst chemical solvents can work on surfaces like metal or glass, they can also damage porous materials like brick or masonry and can be hazardous if not used correctly. Pressure washing, on the other hand can clean large areas, but high pressure can erode softer materials like wood or old masonry. Simply painting over graffiti might seem like a quick fix, but matching the paint exactly can be tough, and it often looks patchy.
At the end of the day, the best choice is always to call in the pros and let Nutech Cleaning handle all your graffiti removal needs.
The Dangers of DIY Graffiti Removal
There are all sorts of different DIY advice blogs out there on how to get rid of graffiti, but many of the approaches they suggest end up doing far more harm than good. Some of the possibilities include:
- Chemical Solvents: These can be effective on non-porous surfaces like metal or glass. However, when used on porous surfaces like brick or masonry, they can cause damage. Using a solvent improperly can also pose health risks.
- Pressure Washing: This method works for large areas and hard surfaces. But using high pressure on softer materials like wood or older masonry can cause erosion.
- Painting Over grafitti: While this might seem like an easy way to remove graffiti, it often results in a patchy, unattractive finish. Matching the exact paint colour can be challenging, and repeated layers can make the surface look uneven.
- Commercial Graffiti Removers: There are various graffiti remover products available on the market. These can sometimes be effective, but they often require multiple applications and can still leave traces of the graffiti behind.
- DIY Cleaning Solutions: Some people try homemade solutions like baking soda or vinegar. These are rarely effective and can waste time and effort.

DIY methods might seem tempting, but they often don’t work well and can even cause more harm. That’s where we come in. At Nutech Cleaning, we specialise in graffiti removal and make sure the job is done right.

Save Time and Money
Professional cleaning saves you time and money. DIY methods often require multiple attempts and can result in damage that needs expensive fixes. Our services are both cost-effective and efficient, restoring your property quickly and effectively.
Moreover, our professional cleaning not only removes graffiti but also treats the surface to prevent future adherence. This means longer-lasting cleanliness and less frequent need for intervention.
The Nutech Cleaning Process
When you choose Nutech Cleaning for graffiti removal, our process begins with a thorough assessment of the affected area. We identify the type of surface and graffiti to determine the most effective removal method. Based on this assessment, we develop a customised cleaning plan tailored to your property’s needs.
Our trained professionals then carry out the cleaning using specialised equipment and techniques, ensuring that the graffiti is completely removed, leaving no traces behind. To prevent future graffiti, we also offer protective coatings that make it difficult for paint to stick on the surface, making any future cleaning even easier. Your satisfaction is our priority. We don’t consider the job done until you’re completely happy with the results.
Different Types of Surfaces
Different surfaces require different approaches to graffiti removal. For instance, removing graffiti from stone requires a gentler touch than metal. Our team at Nutech Cleaning is skilled in handling various types of surfaces, including:
- Brick and Masonry: We use low-pressure washing and special solvents to clean these porous surfaces without causing damage.
- Metal: High-pressure washing can be used on tougher surfaces like metal fences or doors.
- Wood: For wooden surfaces, we use a delicate approach to avoid erosion and damage.
- Glass: Special glass cleaners and techniques are employed to remove graffiti without scratching the surface.
Long-Lasting Results
One of the biggest advantages of professional graffiti removal is the long-lasting results. Our methods not only remove the graffiti but also protect the surface against future incidents. We use protective coatings that make it difficult for spray paint to adhere, reducing the likelihood of future graffiti.
Anti-Graffiti Coatings
Once Graffiti has been removed, the last thing you want is to have to deal with a similar issue again in the future.
The solution? An anti-graffiti coating can help to protect sensitive surfaces from repeated attacks and makes removing any graffiti that may appear in the future to be easily remove by our expert team.
We can apply anti-graffiti coatings to surfaces post-cleaning, or apply them as a preventative measure to get one step ahead of the game and minimise the threat posed.
