Graffiti & chewing gum removal
Graffiti gets worse the longer it stays up — a tagged wall attracts more tags, and the second one always arrives faster than the first. Regency removes it from stone, brick, render, glass and street furniture without damaging what is underneath, and can coat repeat targets so the next one comes off with water instead of a budget.

Common questions
- Will removal damage the wall?
- Not if the method matches the substrate. Sandstone, painted render and glass all behave differently, and the common failure is an aggressive method that removes the graffiti along with the surface — leaving a clean patch that is just as visible as the tag was.
- How quickly should graffiti be removed?
- As fast as you can manage. Rapid removal is the single most effective deterrent there is, because tagging is about visibility — a wall that gets cleaned within days stops being worth the paint.
- What is an anti-graffiti coating?
- A sacrificial or permanent barrier applied to a surface so paint sits on the coating rather than soaking into the substrate. On a repeat target it turns a specialist removal job into a wash-down, and pays for itself quickly.
- Can you work on listed buildings?
- Yes, with methods appropriate to historic fabric. Those jobs are about the gentlest thing that works, and they usually take longer — which is the right trade when the alternative is permanent damage.
- Can you remove graffiti in winter?
- Yes, though very cold weather affects some chemical methods and washing at sub-zero temperatures creates an ice hazard. It changes the method rather than stopping the work.
- Do you offer a rapid-response contract?
- Yes — an agreed removal window from the point you report it, which is how councils and housing providers usually buy this. Speed is the deterrent, so the window is the product.
