Graffiti

Our in-house team Grimebusters cleans up graffiti across the borough. Housing offices deal with graffiti removal on housing estates.

Our services

  • Free graffiti removal from residents' properties.
  • Free graffiti removal from local business premises, including metal security shutters, and subsidised graffiti removal from other areas.

High level graffiti

Graffiti placed at high level (above 2 metres) will require the owner to supply the council with access equipment.

Reporting graffiti

When reporting graffiti, please give details of the exact location, the extent of graffiti, the surface affected and whether it is of a racist or offensive nature.

To enable Grimebusters to remove graffiti, we require an indemnity form to be signed by the person who owns the property. You can download the flyposting and graffiti indemnity form, call 0207 926 9000 or email graffiti@lambeth.gov.uk.
