Common questions

How wide should a parent and child bay be?

Wider than a standard bay — typically with an extra metre or so of access space, because the whole point is being able to open a rear door fully and get a child out.

How many should we provide?

There is no legal requirement, but for retail and leisure sites around 4 to 6% of spaces is common. Under provision causes more complaints than almost anything else in a car park.

Do they need signage?

Yes, if you want them respected. Marking alone is easily ignored once a vehicle is parked over it.

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.
