Graffiti and fly-posting

We can investigate fly-posting and graffiti on both public and private property, but we only remove it from public property.

We are unable to remove graffiti and fly-posting from:

  • heights or where specialist training or equipment is needed
  • surfaces where its removal would cause further damage
