Common questions

Is hatching enforceable on private land?

It supports enforcement but does not create a legal restriction by itself. Combined with signage and, where appropriate, a parking management arrangement, it becomes enforceable.

People still park on our hatching — what next?

Signage first, then physical measures. Where a space genuinely must stay clear, bollards or an island are the only reliable answer.

What size should hatching be?

Large enough to be unmistakable. Fine, closely spaced hatching reads as decoration; bold chevrons read as an instruction.

How soon can we drive or walk on new markings?

Spray applied paint is normally trafficable within 30 to 60 minutes depending on temperature. Thermoplastic sets as it cools and is ready almost immediately. Two part resin takes longer and we will tell you how long when we quote.

Do you have to close the site?

No. We work overnight, at weekends or section by section so the site keeps operating. For retail, hospitality and distribution that is how we work as standard.

Is a site survey and quotation free?

Yes. Surveys, set out proposals and quotations are free and carry no obligation. We normally survey within a few working days and return a fixed price on the same day.

Do you cover the whole of the UK?

Yes, and Ireland. Regional teams cover single sites and national portfolios, including rolling marking programmes across an estate.
