Graffiti protection
Graffiti is becoming more prevalent in our society
The most effective way to remove graffiti is to remove it promptly. Studies show that removal within 24 to 48 hrs results in a nearly zero rate of reoccurrence. Communities that have tried "legal" or "free walls," or areas that permit graffiti, find them ineffective. Cities around the world including Sydney, London, California have all found them to be a failure.
With a legal wall, governments or businesses essentially sponsor graffiti in an effort to rid a community of graffiti. This sends a mixed message. Data also shows nil decrease in arrests for graffiti in cities where there are legal walls. Legal walls tend to attract graffiti vandals from outside the city and cover the surrounding areas with graffiti.
When you have a graffiti outbreak you need to report it to the police and get an incident report and number. Please take a digital photo of the tags and graffiti damage. You also need to report it to your insurance company so as to detemine the amount the insurance company will refund, then get a quotation from a Graffiti Removal Company. Graffiti Busters operates in Tasmania and our contact numbers are 0488 267 857 or by fax on 03 6266 4424.
It is easier to remove before it gets ingrained into the substrata - a repair turnaround of 24 - 48 hrs is ideal. Prompt graffiti removal also prevents graffiti vandals from coming back and/or bringing their friends to admire their tags.
We at Graffiti Busters use a combination of environmentally friendly chemicals, soda and water pressure to remove graffiti. Our removals do not damage surfaces or or leave shadows.
We treat and remove graffiti on most surfaces. We can remove paint, oil, grease, poster glue, and crayon from concrete, brick, tile, marble, and terrazzo.
Often we can remove graffiti from painted surfaces with no trace of the damage. When this isn't possible we colour match and paint the affected area to its original condition.
Did you know that if the surface has been clear coated, graffiti is far easier to remove and saves you $$$$ in the future. Call us on 0488 267 857 for an obligation free evaluation prior to application of any anti graffiti coatings.
A long life anti graffiti coating provides graffiti protection for up a to 10 year period. It leaves the wall with a full gloss look and enables graffiti to be removed from it many times.. These long life coatings are appropriate for areas that are prone to graffiti attacks. Sacrificial anti graffiti coatings are cheaper and safer to apply but once you remove the graffiti from them, you need to reapply the anti graffiti over the affected section.
Graffiti vandals like to admire their tags and also bring their friends to admire them. Do not give them the satisfaction - have procedures in place to remove graffiti fast. Also install good lighting around your buildings. Call us for a free quote.
For high profile sites and emergency situations we can remove graffiti on the same day, other areas within 48 hrs of notification.
This depends on the size of the job, type of surface, type of graffiti, and safety considerations around the area. Costs will be greatly reduced if the surface has been clear coated.
If the client is dissatisfied with our job we will not charge. We guarantee to do the job right the first time every time.
All work complies to our OHS policies.
