Graffiti Removal Melbourne

Sandblasting or hitting a tag with maximum pressure will remove the paint. It will also remove the top layer of the wall, leaving a rough, lighter, permanently visible rectangle — a "ghost" that is often more conspicuous than the tag was. On render it exposes the base coat. On brick it opens the pores so the next tag soaks in deeper and is harder to remove again.

We use graffiti-specific removers matched to both the paint type and the substrate, so the paint releases and the wall does not. Where a shadow is unavoidable on porous, unsealed masonry, we will say so up front and discuss whether a coating or a full-panel treatment is the better outcome.

Removing graffiti within 24 to 48 hours does two things: fresh paint has not fully cured into the substrate so it releases far more easily, and the site stops being a reliable canvas. Sites that get cleaned quickly and consistently get tagged noticeably less.

For body corporates, retail landlords and facility managers dealing with repeat hits, we can hold a standing arrangement and respond without needing a new quote each time.

A sacrificial anti-graffiti coating sits on the surface as a clear barrier. When the wall gets tagged, the coating and the paint come off together with hot water, and the coating is simply reapplied. It turns a slow chemical job into a quick wash — worthwhile on any wall that has been hit more than once.

Permanent (non-sacrificial) coatings are also available for high-traffic surfaces where repeat reapplication is not practical.
