Graffiti removal advice please
« on: January 14, 2014, 05:20:33 pm »
Hi guys,

Been asked to remove this graffiti from the side of a care home we now clean.



It's been on the wall for several months, some one (poss maintenance man) has had a little go at it and only succeeded in smudging it into the brickwork  ::)roll

Not having tackled this before I'm looking to you guys for advice on removal
Ie...  Chems,  sand blast, or straight forward PW ing

After removal what are the chances of discolouration to the affected area and will it weather back in to match the rest of the wall.

Thanks

Darran

Darran,

we use DC Chemicals graffiti remover. Its good stuff but not cheap. Ive found that certain colours can sometimes be a pain. Had problems with silver before. There shouldnt be too much difference in the brickwork after youve removed it but if there is it will weather in in no time mate. Take the wetblast attachment and a bag of sand just incase.

Lovely, will get in touch tomorrow.

Any idea on how long I'd be there to remove this ?

Chris - happy to take a sample, what sort of area will it cover ?
Are you selling this as part of your biz ?  Have you a complete range ?

Email me at: ob1@btinternet.com  with product specs etc.. ( inc cost )

I have access to loads of good things ...my mate makes them in his shed!
I usually work on a  metre per litre for heavy stripping of multi layers.
It would be better to supply you with a specific product for a given problem . That way you get fresh products ...some things don't store well or need special application or handling.
