Graffiti in other places
We do not usually remove graffiti from private property, but there are things you can do if you are a victim of graffiti.
- You should remove it yourself as quickly as possible because it attracts other graffiti to the surface if it is left.
- You can defend a vulnerable wall or fence from graffiti by planting some fast-growing ivy or a prickly hedge.
- You can sometimes use detergent and a scouring brush to scrub off graffiti on non-porous surfaces covered with masonry paint, gloss paint or tiles. Traces may be left but should fade with time.
- If you can’t remove the graffiti you may have to try specialist techniques and materials. We can advise you on different removal methods and arrange for a contractor to give you an estimate for carrying out the work.
Graffiti is a crime
Graffiti is criminal damage and you should report it to the police. We work with the police and help them prosecute people who graffiti. We advise you to report all graffiti by phoning Wimbledon Police on 020 8947 1212 or by visiting www.online.police.uk
You should call 999 if you see graffiti in progress.
