Graffiti Removal and Hard Surface Cleaning for Body Corporates

Body corporate managers are responsible for maintaining shared assets on behalf of owners and tenants — and graffiti or poorly maintained common areas reflect directly on the quality of the property you’re managing.

Whether you manage a residential apartment complex, a mixed-use development, or a commercial strata property such as a retail centre or office park, The Graffiti Eaters and The Stain Eaters provide the responsive, professional service that body corporate managers need — without adding to your workload.

The Cost of Getting It Wrong

Approximately 20% of our work involves rectifying damage caused by unqualified tradespeople attempting graffiti removal on body corporate properties. It’s one of the most common and costly mistakes we see.

Brick, concrete, and render may look robust, but they are easily damaged by incorrect cleaning solution selection or excessive pressure washing — leading to salt deposits, rising damp, surface deterioration, and in serious cases, structural damage that is far more expensive to repair than the original graffiti removal would have been.

Using a specialist from the start is always the right decision — for the property, for the owners, and for your own liability as the manager responsible for that decision.

A Job Management Portal Built for Property Managers

We give body corporate clients exclusive access to a dedicated job management portal — designed to take the admin burden off your plate. Through the portal you can:

  • Log new jobs and quote requests quickly and easily
  • Track job status and invoice progress in real time
  • Access a full record of work completed across all your properties — including coating types, paint colours, and tint codes used

For managers overseeing multiple properties or a large strata complex, this level of visibility makes graffiti management significantly easier to stay on top of.

Maintenance Agreements — The Smarter Way to Manage It

Most of our body corporate clients manage graffiti and hard surface cleaning through an ongoing maintenance agreement — a fixed monthly arrangement that covers callouts and scheduled cleaning across the property. Benefits include:

  • Predictable, budget-friendly costs that are easy to present to owners committees
  • Priority response when graffiti incidents occur
  • Scheduled cleaning of car parks, common areas, and building exteriors
  • Complete removal of the management burden — one call is all it takes

What to Expect on Every Job

  • On-site assessment — the right approach confirmed before work begins
  • Specialist cleaning solutions matched to the surface and graffiti type
  • Colour matching and repainting available where cleaning isn’t the best option, painting to architectural lines for a seamless finish
  • Risk report provided before every job
  • Traffic and pedestrian management arranged where required
  • $20 million public liability insurance on every job
  • Waste water is captured as required in compliance with environmental regulations
  • ISO-audited operations — Quality (ISO 9001), OH&S (ISO 45001), Environmental (ISO 14001), Risk (ISO 31000)

Rapid Response — Because Graffiti Compounds Quickly

Graffiti removed within 48 hours significantly reduces the likelihood of repeat incidents. Left unaddressed, it attracts further vandalism, affects property values, and creates a poor impression for residents, tenants, and visitors. Our teams are positioned to respond rapidly — and for body corporate clients on a maintenance agreement, priority response is guaranteed.

Protect Your Property from Future Graffiti

Anti-graffiti coatings applied to regularly targeted surfaces significantly reduce the impact and cost of future incidents.

For hard surfaces, protective sealers can also be applied to reduce staining and simplify ongoing maintenance — both worthwhile investments for any body corporate property.
