Having your property tagged and covered with graffiti is more than just a nuisance. Yes, it can be quite an eyesore, and especially if the content of the art is rather distasteful, but for commercial and industrial buildings, this graffiti can actually affect your business.
Graffiti on buildings, offensive or otherwise is a sure put off to potential clients and other stakeholders who may visit your place of business. In the business community, you can never underestimate the power of first impressions. Leaving the graffiti on your property long enough that these parties of interest get to see it will most definitely create a poor impression; an impression that you, as the business owner do not care much about your professional image and have instead chosen to neglect it.
Additionally, the common perception has always been to associate graffiti with gang presence and this kind of activity may inadvertently encourage crime and other social vices in the neighbourhood. This will ultimately cause a decline in property value in the area.
Seeing what great impact having your property tagged will undoubtedly have on your business, leaving it just isn’t an option. Choosing to do it yourself is also not a good choice because you may end up making an even bigger mess for lack of the right supplies and skill. Your best and only option is to call in graffiti removal experts, and call them in fast.
No one is ever prepared to get their property sprayed with graffiti and defaced. Hiring an industrial cleaning expert to remove the graffiti will cost you, and because this is expenditure that is completely unplanned for, you may be tempted to put it off until later. However, as industry experts, it is our informed and professional opinion that you should get specialist graffiti removal as soon as you possibly can for two main reasons as highlighted below
A More Effective Removal
Removing graffiti is no easy task. However, as a graffiti removal specialist will tell you, you can expect a more effective service if it’s done as soon as possible. There’re of course other factors to consider such as the surface on which the graffiti is sprayed, be it brick, concrete etc. Another factor is the kind of paint that is used. That said, even with these factors in mind, the response time has a significant impact on how easily and how effectively the graffiti can be removed without leaving behind any traces.
Bear in mind also that because the graffiti becomes progressively more difficult to remove as more time passes, you may be forced to pay a little more for the removal service. The technicians will definitely spend more time working on removing the graffiti, not to mention that they may also need to use specialist supplies, all of which may cause the quoted price to go up.
Again, not all kinds of spray paints are the same. While most don’t cause any damage to the surface on which it’s sprayed, some can actually ruin the surface once the paint sinks deeper and deeper into the subsurface. Removing it as soon as possible can help prevent this damage and save you additional costs in repair or replacement.
Minimising the Chances Of Repeat Attacks
Not too many vandals would be daring enough to be the first to tag a building. However, seeing that someone else has done it may encourage more people to bring out their spray paints and markers. If you don’t get the graffiti removed as soon as possible, other taggers will view your areas as being an easy mark and a safe area to continue with their activities. By getting it removed as fast as can get, you will be sending a message to anyone else who may be tempted to do the same thing on your property or in the neighbourhood.
