Nothing degrades a building's appearance—or your business's reputation—faster than graffiti. It is an frustrating and persistent problem, but while graffiti has existed for centuries, the technology to remove it has finally caught up. At Phoenix Cleaning Company (PCC), we combine cutting-edge cleaning chemistry with advanced pressure washing techniques to restore your surfaces to their original condition.

Advanced Chemistry & Expert Techniques

Our approach is twofold, focusing on the right specialized solutions and high-performance hot water technology. We utilize a range of biodegradable, government-compliant detergents specifically formulated to tackle:

  • Aerosol paints

  • Permanent markers and pens

  • Crayons and lipsticks

  • Stubborn "shadowing" or ghosting

Our primary cleaning agents are low-odor, making them safe for use in confined areas, and can be applied via spray or soft brush to protect the underlying masonry or specialized surfaces.

High-Performance Hot Water Technology

We have invested in the latest mobile pressure washing equipment, capable of delivering 120 bar ($1900\text$) of pressure at 9 litres per minute. Unlike standard cold-water washers, our system utilizes hot water and steam technology.

This allows us to:

  • Flush surfaces clean using lower pressure, protecting delicate stonework.

  • Reduce chemical usage by letting heat do the heavy lifting.

  • Achieve superior results on even the most stubborn, porous surfaces.

Rapid Response for Peace of Mind

We understand that graffiti is upsetting and needs to be dealt with quickly. Our vans are fully stocked and our teams are ready to respond throughout Yorkshire and Manchester, ensuring your property remains a professional environment you can be proud of.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand that graffiti is an eyesore and can attract further vandalism if left untreated. We aim to respond as quickly as possible across the Yorkshire and Manchester areas. Our vans are fully stocked with a wide range of “super” graffiti removers and “shadow lifters,” allowing us to tackle most call-outs on the first visit.

Not at all. Old-fashioned methods relied on high pressure alone, which could strip the surface of bricks or stone. At PCC, we use hot water and steam technology at a much lower, gentler pressure ($120\text$ / $1900\text$). Combined with our biodegradable cleaning solutions, this "flushes" the paint out of the pores without damaging the underlying masonry.

Yes. Our specialized solutions are effective on a variety of surfaces, including brick, stone, concrete, and even metal or glass. For particularly stubborn areas or porous stone, we use a specialized Shadow Lifter application to eliminate the “ghosting” effect that often remains after the top layer of paint is gone.

Our chemicals are specifically formulated to break down a wide array of mediums, including:

  • Aerosol spray paints

  • Permanent markers and industrial pens

  • Crayons, lipsticks, and wax-based materials

  • Old, sun-baked graffiti

Yes. We prioritize products that comply with current government legislation. Our standard cleaning agents are formulated with biodegradable detergents and low-odor solvents, making them safe for use in public spaces, city centers, and even confined areas.

Our pressure washing equipment is fully mobile and self-contained. While access to a water point is always helpful for larger jobs, our heavy-duty industrial machines are designed to operate independently, allowing us to work in remote areas or sites without immediate facilities.

Absolutely. This is where Phoenix Cleaning Company truly excels. Because we have our own in-house 20m and 28m cherry pickers, we can safely reach graffiti on high-level cladding, bridges, or upper-story brickwork that other companies might struggle to access.
