Removal methods depend on the deposit and surface. Testing may be needed to assess likely results and the risk of changes to the finish.

Scope and preparation

Match the treatment to the surface

Send a close-up and a wider view of the affected wall, door, floor or pavement. Include the material, any known coating and the age of the mark. Describe products or cleaning already tried.

Porous surfaces, paint and parkade membranes can respond differently. A test area can help assess removal and possible colour or texture changes. Staining or shadowing may remain after treatment.

Plan the work

Separate removal from protective treatment

Tire residue on a warehouse floor is different from wall graffiti. Gum, moss and algae can also need a different approach. Identify nearby planting, joints and drains that need to be considered.

If you want an anti-graffiti or algae-control treatment, request it separately. Confirm product suitability, preparation, maintenance and the expected appearance. Larger floor areas may also need machine scrubbing.

Details for your quote

  • Photograph the mark close up and the whole affected surface.

Before you enquire

Questions about the service

Will every trace of graffiti disappear?

Complete removal cannot be assumed. The deposit, surface porosity, finish and time since marking affect the result. Ask for test findings and likely limits.

Can tire marks be removed from a coated floor?

The coating and residue need assessment together. Share the product details if available and include a small test area in the discussion.

Does removal include a protective coating?

Only when that treatment is part of the agreed work. Removal and protective products have different preparation and maintenance requirements.
