Graffiti Removal FAQ

Ideally within 24-48 hours. Studies show that rapid removal reduces repeat graffiti by up to 80%. The longer graffiti remains, the more it attracts additional tagging. We offer same-day and next-day response for most Melbourne locations.

We assess the surface type and graffiti paint before selecting a removal method. For sealed surfaces (glass, metal, coated walls), chemical removal leaves no damage. For porous surfaces (bare brick, unsealed render), some residual shadowing may remain. In these cases, anti-graffiti coatings or paint-over give the best result.

Two types: sacrificial coatings are a clear layer that comes off with the graffiti when cleaned, and you then reapply the coating. Permanent coatings are a durable clear layer that allows graffiti to be wiped off with solvent without removing the coating itself. Permanent coatings cost more upfront but save money long-term in graffiti-prone areas.
