Graffiti Removal in Scotland

Graffiti is a hotly debated topic. That’s because some view it as artistic expression while others see it as vandalism. It can be a contentious subject however, you might be surprised to learn that Graffiti has actually been around for 1,000’s of years and started in its simplest form as writing, drawing or painting on walls and other surfaces.

Bringing it more up to date and contemporary graffiti developed in the Black and Latino neighbourhoods of New York City and was closely linked to hip hop music. It was created using aerosol spray cans. More recently Banksy has become internationally recognised for his street art and in the process has given graffiti more credibility.

Love it or loathe it though, when graffiti appears without permission and within public view, whether it’s on a brick wall outside your house or on the side of a bridge that you drive under every day, it can at best be unsightly, but if it’s at the entrance to your apartment block or on your business premises, it can detract from the area you live or work in.

EdinburghClean.co.uk has many years’ experience of graffiti removal in Scotland. We have acquired state of the art equipment and have given comprehensive training to our staff on how to use this equipment and safely apply the appropriate products, so that graffiti removal is done quickly, efficiently and effectively.

For graffiti removal we use tried and tested methods that eradicate the graffiti without damaging the surface and ensuring it is kept intact. Most graffiti is created using cellulose based paints, so the products we use are specifically designed to combat this. However, we can adapt the products when other solvents have been used. We have the skills and expertise to carry out graffiti removal on stone, concrete, render and other surface types.

We will visit the location where the graffiti has appeared, assess what has been used and the surface it has been used on. Having surveyed the site we will recommend the process that needs to be carried out to remove it. We will provide a free, no obligation quote. Only once we have your agreement will we carry out the work.
