Graffiti Removal for Managing Agents

Managing agents do not have a graffiti problem so much as a volume problem. Across a portfolio of blocks and properties, something is always reported — a tag on a bin store, marker on a communal stairwell door, something offensive on a boundary wall that a resident has photographed and emailed twice. Individually each is trivial. Collectively they consume an enormous amount of time, most of it spent chasing contractors rather than solving anything.

No Graffiti is built to reduce that workload rather than add to it. Forward us the report and the address and we will handle it end to end: a quick price, the work done, photographs back to you, and an invoice allocated to the right property. Our aim is that a graffiti report becomes one of the shortest items on your list rather than one that reappears every week.

What you are really buying is your time back

The removal itself is the easy part. What actually costs a managing agent is the administration around it — sourcing a contractor, obtaining a quote, getting landlord approval, booking it in, confirming it happened, finding evidence for the file and then explaining the charge. Any of those steps stalling means the item stays on your list and the resident emails again.

So we have tried to make each step take as little of your attention as possible. Quotes come back fast enough to seek approval the same day. We confirm when we are attending and confirm when it is done, without being asked. Completion photographs arrive in a form you can forward straight to a landlord or leaseholder. It is a deliberately unglamorous service model, and it is the one agents tell us they want.

Working in occupied residential buildings

Communal areas are people's homes as much as they are your responsibility, and that shapes how we work. Our operatives are trained to work considerately in occupied settings — keeping access clear, avoiding early-morning noise where residents are close by, controlling water and run-off in courtyards and car parks, and choosing chemical-free or low-odour methods in enclosed stairwells and lobbies where fumes would be unpleasant. RAMS are provided for each property, and DBS-checked operatives are available where a building's residents make that appropriate.

What we deal with across a managed portfolio

Most of the work we do for agents falls into a predictable set of jobs:

• Graffiti removal from boundary walls, bin stores, communal doors, stairwells and car parks.
• Sticker and fly-posting removal from entrance doors, intercom panels and signage.
• Moss and algae treatment on communal paths and paving, where slip risk becomes a liability question.
• Anti-graffiti coatings on the walls and shutters that are hit repeatedly at a particular block.

Billing that fits how you account

Invoicing is where a lot of otherwise good contractors create work for agents. We bill against the individual property or your own job reference, so costs land in the correct service charge without anyone unpicking a lump-sum invoice at quarter end. If you prefer a single monthly invoice broken down by property, that works too — tell us how your accounts run and we will match it.

We are fully insured and hold CHAS accreditation, which usually satisfies whatever supplier checks your compliance team applies. We work out of Macclesfield across Greater Manchester and Cheshire East — the towns are listed on our areas we cover page, and if you manage blocks in several of them, one arrangement covers the lot.
