Complete Graffiti Eradication & Architectural Protective Coating

Commercial & Multi-Level Facility

Severe tagging had accumulated across fire escape stairwells, concrete pillars, and high-clearance ceilings within a busy multi-level commercial complex. Our certified restoration technicians were deployed to eradicate the vandalism completely while maintaining tenant safety and egress routes at all times.

Project Challenges & Site Conditions

Aerosol paint vandalism in public-access stairwells poses multiple compliance and aesthetic hazards. Left untreated, taggers often re-target the same surfaces, leading to rapid degradation of architectural substrates. Moreover, harsh abrasive sandblasting was prohibited due to risk of surface etching and hazardous airborne particulates in enclosed stair towers.

  • Substrate Integrity: Utilised pH-balanced, biodegradable solvency formulas formulated to dissolve synthetic aerosol acrylics without degrading the concrete matrix.
  • Protective Barrier Application: Applied a breathable anti-graffiti sacrificial barrier that prevents future aerosol pigments from penetrating into the porous stone.
  • Safety & Compliance: Scheduled outside peak business hours under strict ISO 45001 safety controls, keeping emergency egress routes clear.
  • Zero Substrate Damage: Maintained the original texture and structural integrity of the architectural surfaces.

Long-Term Protective Coating

Following non-destructive chemical abatement and neutralisation, our team applied a commercial-grade architectural protective coating. This innovative barrier ensures that any future vandalism can be wiped away with mild water pressure alone, significantly reducing ongoing facility maintenance costs.
