Mobile graffiti removal service

Shop and pub owners, landlords, letting and property managers, housing associations, schools and, with contracts, local councils.

Fixed price per job or hourly rate, with extra for repainting or anti-graffiti coating. Regular contracts with property managers give steadier work.

• Knowing which products suit which surfaces
• Safe use of pressure washers and chemicals
• Reliable quoting and customer service

• Public liability insurance, and check whether your cover includes work at height and chemical use
• Safe handling and storage of chemicals (check COSHH guidance from the HSE) and wearing proper protective equipment
• Always get written permission from the property owner before cleaning, especially on listed or historic buildings
• Waste water may need controlling so it doesn't run into drains, check with your council or the Environment Agency (or the equivalent in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland)
• Council contracts often require tendering, references and health and safety paperwork

Startup costs are estimated at typically around £800 to £4,000, depending on your van, equipment, chemicals and insurance. Your own costs will vary with what you already own, so price up pressure washers, protective gear and products before committing.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around £600 to £3,500, depending on how many hours you work, your area and whether you win regular contracts with landlords or property managers. These are estimates, not guarantees.

Check your public liability insurance covers work at height and chemical use, and follow HSE COSHH guidance for chemicals and protective equipment. Get written permission from property owners, especially for listed buildings, and check how to control waste water with your council.
