graffiti removal
Graffiti refers to unauthorised writing or drawing or paintings in public spaces such as walls, buildings and signage, often created using spray paint. Graffiti is often seen as vandalism and is illegal in the uk and classed as criminal damage.
When we are needed?
Graffiti removal is essential. It is considered an urgent removal if it is offensive in nature, is in a high visibility business area or a sensitive public space such as a school or hospital. Even when it does not require an urgent removal a quick response is still necessary as the longer the paint sits it is harder to remove as surfaces such as brick and concrete absorb the paint.
Negative impacts of graffiti.
Graffiti can suggest signs of visible disorder which signals a perception of crime making residents feel unsafe. Vandalism also has a negative affect on local property values. As well as the economic affects there are also the social and safety impacts especially when the graffiti is offensive in nature causing a sense of unease amongst the community.
Why a professional clean is essential?
A professional removal of graffiti is recommended due to the training and skills acquired to remove the paint or ink used while protecting the underlying structure. They have access to industrial grade specialist equipment to ensure no further damage is caused and the potential harmful run off is disposed of appropriately.
