Graffiti removal - in brief
How quickly does graffiti need to be removed?
The fresher, the easier the removal: paint that has not yet sunk deep into the surface comes off much more cleanly. In cases of acute vandalism, we respond at short notice.
Do stains or shadows remain?
As a rule, no, provided the work is done properly. We choose the method to suit the surface (render, stone, metal) so that the area looks even afterwards.
Can surfaces be protected in advance?
Yes. Anti-graffiti protection on vulnerable façades makes future removals considerably easier and cheaper – we will advise you on site.
Does building insurance pay for graffiti removal?
In the Canton of Bern, the extended property insurance ‘GVB Top’ covers vandalism damage such as spray-painted graffiti – up to 1% of the insured value, with a maximum of CHF 5'000 per calendar year. Check your policy or ask your insurer. On request, we prepare our quote directly in a form suited to the insurer.
What this looks like in practice
How it works
- A photo is enough to start – Send us a picture of the affected surface – we will give you a first assessment without anyone having to come by.
- Identify the surface – Exposed concrete, rendered façades, natural stone, metal or lacquered wood each need different methods and products.
- Remove – We work as gently as possible – the aim is an even surface with no loss of render and no lighter ‘cleaning shadows’.
- Protect – On request, we apply anti-graffiti protection. The next clean will then be much quicker and cheaper.
Why speed saves money
Fresh paint still sits on the surface; older paint soaks into porous surfaces. The longer graffiti stays, the more work the removal takes – and the more likely it is that traces remain visible.
There is also an effect that property management companies know well: a sprayed façade attracts further graffiti. Those who clean quickly have, statistically, fewer repeat cases.
