"Do not provide this service.

Graffiti removal from brick requires a chemical treatment."

"Graffiti on brick needs a careful approach because aggressive methods (wire brushing, high pressure jet washing, or the wrong chemical) can strip the pointing and damage the brick face, which usually ends up costing more to fix than the graffiti did. A professional will normally use a dedicated graffiti remover or poultice suited to brick, applied and worked in gently rather than blasted, sometimes needing a couple of applications for stubborn paint. For a single wall, expect a professional charge somewhere in the low hundreds of pounds depending on the size of the area and how much paint has soaked into the surface, with porous or older brick generally taking longer and costing more than smooth modern brick."

"£15 to £35 per metre depending on the overall size of the surface type. Chemical cleaning or pressure washing the surface to not damange any of the pointing"

"Hi Lauren,

The cost depends on the size of the graffiti, the type of paint used, and the condition of the brickwork. In most cases, a professional graffiti removal service will charge between £150 and £400, although larger or more difficult jobs may cost more.

The safest approach is to inspect the wall first, as the correct cleaning method is important to avoid damaging the brick or pointing. If you’re able to upload a few photos and provide the approximate dimensions of the affected area, I’d be happy to give you a more accurate estimate and advise on the best removal method.

Kind regards."

"Most paints would come off by using brick and mortar cleaner available off the shelf but sometimes of the paint is harsh you may need to use professional cleaning agents and scrub off with a brush. Alternative a jetwash would be able to clean it off. But again all depends on the king of paint"

"Hi Lauren, the cost depends on the size of the graffiti, the type of paint used, and the condition of the brickwork.

For a small area on a house wall, a professional graffiti removal service may usually charge around £100–£250. Larger areas or stubborn paint may cost more.

A proper assessment is best before starting, as the wrong method can damage the brick or pointing. A professional would normally use suitable graffiti removal products and careful cleaning methods to protect the surface."
