Graffiti
Graffiti does nothing to enhance the look and feel of Birmingham. It is also illegal and excessive graffiti can significantly increase peoples' fears of crime and violence.
We aim to:
- If it is of a racist or otherwise offensive nature we will remove it within 1 working day
- We will remove graffiti on your home for free - you will need to complete a consent form beforehand
- We will also remove graffiti from subways and from recycling sites (bottle banks, paper banks and so on) around Birmingham.
To report graffiti in any of these places, use the Request Graffiti Removal button above.

Businesses wishing to request graffiti removal from their property should contact the Commercial Waste Section at bdu@birmingham.gov.uk for a quote. We will usually do small jobs (less than 15 minutes) free of charge but bigger jobs will be chargeable.

We use a mild solvent and high pressure hose. We are unable to remove graffiti on painted surfaces as the treatment process will cause too much damage. We recommend that graffiti on such surfaces is painted out.
