Graffiti and fly-posting removal

The best way of reducing graffiti and further acts of vandalism is by removing it as quickly as possible. 

The Greater London Authority estimate that the total cost of graffiti to London is over £100 million (May 2002). However, we spend over £100,000 per annum on graffiti and fly-poster removal and preventative measures. This equates to between 200-300 sites per month.

We employ a specialist graffiti and fly-poster removal contractor who use a combination of methods to remove graffiti and fly-posters. All chemicals used are environmentally friendly and all paint is good quality polyurethane gloss. We will endeavour to match the new paint colour to the existing as closely as possible.

If you would like to be considered as an approved contractor please send us your company or product details by post.
