Poster Removal
Poster Removal - Get them off before they breed!
Illegal posters can make a building look untidy and unoccupied exposing the asset to an increased risk of graffiti and vandalism like broken glass. The glue used to adhere posters can be of many different bases and the paper itself can be anything from thin paper to thick vinyl.
The Process
The correct process for removal posters includes removing the physical paper and disposing of the hard waste, then using hot water under pressure to dissolve the glue residue that remains on the building surfaces which can include brickwork, concrete, painted surfaces, glass and aluminium window frames.
If a further residue remains, a cleaning solution may be required to remove the remaining glue to get a perfect result. This solution used may have to be different on each of the different surfaces to ensure damage is not sustained.
The environmental cleanup is critical to get right to ensure storm water pollution does not result.
In some council areas, permits are required to conduct this type of work and we are happy to organise this for you.

Avoid this Common Mistake and Save Time, Hassle, and Money
Every week, we receive calls from building owners who have trusted the cleaning of their property exterior to the lowest quote they could find. The results have been disastrous and the property owner or manager calls us to repair the damage. The property owner ends up paying twice for the work - when a call to The Stain Eaters could have sorted all the exterior issues quickly and for a sensible rate.
The building cleaning industry is not fully regulated and there are unscrupulous characters doing very average work in an unsafe manner. These photos illustrate the type of shoddy work we often have to repair.
