Graffiti is one of the fastest growing crimes in the UK, with the problem now outstripping most reported house burglary incidences. Graffiti is defined as any written material, including graffiti, that contains a depiction of a person, animal or idea. Graffiti is often created as a reflection of emotions or feelings on a person's current situation in life. This includes issues relating to school and relationships, art appreciation and even political statements. Whatever the motivation behind the creation of graffiti, the end result is the same - destruction of property and litter.
Graffiti is an unwanted mark left on a property, on a public surface or in a private space. Graffiti is often formed by teenagers wanting to display their own individualism.

For example, if you saw someone leaving graffiti behind your shop, it would be obvious to identify it as someone from your own community. The same goes if you saw someone writing graffiti on a wall in your local area - you would most likely attribute it to your community.

Patina restoration involves using a specialised chemical solution which is mixed with acrylic paint to coat the masonry surface, creating a protective coating.

Poultice is usually applied directly to the graffiti-struck surface, although in some cases, where the graffiti has penetrated into the mortar, a small amount of water can be added to the poultice to help bring it back to its original state.
