Graffiti Removal by Edinburghclean.co.uk

Public Nuisance or Piece of Art?

Wherever you go in the world and in almost every city, Graffiti is common place. Whether it’s along an alleyway, fence, flyover or underpass Graffiti is ever present around us. Throughout history people have liked to leave a record of their existence and experience in public areas. For some Graffiti is now viewed as Street Art. In cities such as London, Graffiti/Street Art is generally seen as improving the economic conditions of urban neighbourhoods. Arty areas of a city attract more café’s which in turn attract art loving people.

But graffiti can also be associated with areas that are run down and in need of better policing.
Many people see graffiti as an act of vandalism and if you have been affected by it on your house, office building or other work premises it can be at very least annoying, and at worst distressing and costly to get rid of.

Especially when paint has been applied to a rough surface, it can be difficult to remove and can severely impact on the aesthetic of a building and the environment. It’s ironic as one individual commented that “art is something you choose to see and pay to have either in your home or see in a gallery, but graffiti gives you no choice and you have to pay not to look at it!”

At Edinburghclean.co.uk we are experienced in the removal of graffiti. There are various methods that can be used depending on where it is and what has been used. We can advise you on the best course of action which will have a limited impact on the fabric of the building while also eliminating the graffiti.

Each incident of graffiti is unique, so we are armed with effective removal tools and a comprehensive knowledge to achieve professional results for your job. We also recognise that protecting the underlying surface of the area affected is key. Whether it’s plastic, metal, brick, wood, stone, concrete or other building materials, we have a safe product to use.
