Using our expert skills and knowledge, we will remove graffiti from your building quickly and efficiently. We make sure to work in a way that limits any disruption to your business and strive to remove graffiti as quickly as possible so that you can be at complete peace sooner rather than later.
Aware that many companies and individuals are interested in remaining carbon neutral and looking after our planet, many of our graffiti removal techniques are eco-friendly, too.
In addition to graffiti removal, we offer a graffiti prevention service that aims to prevent graffiti from happening in the first place. That way, you don't need professional graffiti removal services!
Graffiti prevention works by using anti-graffiti coatings and anti-graffiti paint on your walls or other surfaces. These coatings are specially designed so that no aerosol paint can bond to them. So when a graffiti attack happens, the vandal will soon realise that their art is not working and give up.
This saves you time and money on paint removal and allows you to relax a little, knowing that your residential and commercial properties are safe.
It can be incredibly frustrating to find that your property has been graffitied. Many people's first instinct is to be angry and to find a way to get whoever it was that used the graffiti paint to pay for its removal.
However, according to UK law, it is the responsibility of whoever owns the surface. The paint removal is down to the building owner or leaseholder.
That being said, vandalism is still a crime in the UK. If you are being subjected to graffiti attacks on the regular, it may be worth contacting local authorities and local businesses to see what you can do about finding the person or people responsible.
You may also find it beneficial to invest in CCTV or some kind of camera system for your building and land. This will make it much easier to identify and punish the vandal responsible.
If you're unsure about hiring graffiti removal solutions and graffiti removers in order to remove graffiti from your property, you might consider trying to start the graffiti removal process yourself.
To some extent, you can remove graffiti with soapy water and a wire brush. You might even be able to add an ordinary paint remover to help. Scrubbing for some time may well be successful in removing graffiti.
However, it is unlikely to remove all graffiti. It is also incredibly likely that in the graffiti removal process, you will damage the wall somehow, especially if you have delicate walls.
If you can do graffiti cleaning yourself, why bother with graffiti removal experts? First of all, graffiti removal experts like NW Wash in New Longton will have all of the necessary graffiti removal products and specialist cleaning equipment to tackle any kind of graffiti attack.
In addition to the tools, NW Wash's team is fully licensed and insured. This means that we can safely work at heights and on any kind of graffiti removal service.

We can also provide expert advice on the next steps, offering you things like an anti-graffiti coating to help protect your walls going forward.
If the graffiti is minor, or on a part of the building that you don't see all that regularly, you might be wondering why you should bother with a graffiti remover.
There are a number of reasons that graffiti cleaning is important, for example:
Graffiti removal is a complicated process. Every job is different, because every surface is different. That's why, when you hire NW Wash's graffiti removal service, we will get as much information from you and about the surfaces as possible before we start graffiti cleaning.
Three of the most common techniques used for graffiti removal are:
Specifically designed to clean surfaces without causing damage, the DOFF cleaning system is perfect for graffiti removal. It uses superheated water to achieve flawless results every time.
The water is pumped through the nozzle at low pressure but high volume, and is completely free from harsh chemicals. It's an environmentally friendly graffiti removal technique that is often used as part of NW Wash's graffiti removal service.
Designed by the same people who invented the DOFF cleaning system, the TORC cleaning method is another tool used in graffiti removal. It is more abrasive than the DOFF system, which makes it unsuitable for some surfaces, but when it can be used safely as part of a graffiti removal service it does a great job.
The TORC system uses a vortex nozzle that pushes out a combination of an abrasive slurry and water. Due to the shape of the nozzle, it allows the solution to get under the paint, tackling the graffiti from beneath.
Pressure washing is often offered as a graffiti removal service in New Longton. Sometimes called jet washing, it involves the use of high-pressure washers, pushing out high-pressure streams of water to blast away the graffiti.
This can be an effective way of removing graffiti, but it can also be incredibly risky. Using pressure washing on delicate or old stone and brick can harm the surfaces, causing them to chip and crack.
For this reason, the other two methods are often preferred when it comes to graffiti removal.
At NW Wash we understand that every job is going to be different, and so we have prepared everyone in our team to work across all sorts of different surfaces. Whether you're trying to remove graffiti from a public space or somewhere more private, our expert team will be able to remove spray paint and return the surface underneath to its original appearance.
We are more than happy to work on:
We have all of the graffiti removal products to handle graffiti removal on all exterior surfaces. Porous or non porous surfaces, concrete, brick, metal - there is no surface that we won't be happy to offer a solution for.
Unfortunately, because of the nature of graffiti removal, it is difficult to determine how much a graffiti removal job will cost. It is simply dependent on too many factors. For example:
Different graffiti artists use different paint. As a result, not all graffiti is as easy to remove. How much we charge will depend on the labour it took to remove the graffiti from your property. If the paint is particularly stubborn, this may take longer.
Some vandals like to make life difficult by graffiti tagging roofs or chimneys. If our team have to use a cherry picker, scaffolding or rope attachments in order to reach the graffiti, your quote will likely reflect this as it will take longer and is more risky.
Should you decide to protect your wall from future graffiti once we have successfully removed the original paint, we will charge additional fees for the application and use of products such as an anti-graffiti coating.
Some walls or items (wood, for example, or stone) are a bit more difficult to wash as they can be delicate and can absorb moisture too easily. As a result, it takes a much more careful hand and significantly more skill and time to remove graffiti from these surfaces. This will subsequently impact the cost.
Some graffiti is tiny, just a little initial or tag. Some graffiti removal jobs are huge and take up an entire wall. For obvious reasons, the size of the graffiti being removed will impact the cost of the removal service.
It is important when you find your property vandalised to act as quickly as possible. Sometimes that means that our services are called upon pretty urgently. In some cases, this might mean that we charge slightly more.
Graffiti isn't always immediately noticeable. On the odd occasion that you find the graffiti long after it's been done and dried, or you've just bought a property that's been left empty for some time and has graffiti in it, it might mean that the paint removal is harder. The longer the paint has had to dry and soak into the wall may make the job take longer, meaning we may have to charge more.
It is easier to clean a wall or furniture or patio if there are no plants or windows etc. around it that we need to be wary of. As a result, when these objects are present, the process is often slower as more care needs to be taken.
If we had to use a paint remover or another similar chemical cleaning product to get the paint to budge from your property, then this may well be reflected in your price.
