Internal Line Removal | Warehouse & Factory Line Removal | Line-Mark

Need old or incorrect markings gone fast? Line-Mark provides professional internal line removal for warehouses, factories, production facilities, and logistics hubs. We remove painted lines, thermoplastic, epoxy/MMA demarcation, and hatching with minimal disruption — then re-line your floor to the latest layout.

We offer free site visits, fixed quotes, and night/weekend working to keep operations running.

How We Remove Internal Lines

We select the safest, most efficient method based on your substrate (concrete/screed/resin), coating type, and production constraints:

• Captive shot-blasting — precise removal with on-tool extraction to control dust
• Diamond grinding / scarifying — for heavy-build epoxies & stubborn thermoplastic
• Controlled chemical softeners — limited, risk-assessed use for sensitive areas
• Heat & scrape — targeted removal of thermoplastic/adhesive residues
• Vacuum extraction & detailing — to minimise “ghosting” and leave a clean, bond-ready surface

After removal we can repair spalls/pitting, apply primers, and deliver a like-for-like warehouse line marking refresh or a completely new layout.

Dust, Safety & Compliance

Your team’s safety and product integrity come first. We operate with:

• On-tool dust extraction & HEPA vacuums to control respirable dust (see HSE silica guidance)
• Isolation & signage for work zones; RAMS provided pre-start
• Waste capture & disposal of arisings in line with environmental duties
• Where re-marking is required, materials aligned to BS EN 1436 performance principles (visibility/skid), adapted for internal conditions

Avoiding “Ghosting” & Bond-Ready Prep

Old markings can still “show through” as a shadow if the surrounding surface isn’t blended. Our teams feather the edges, equalise texture, and finish to a consistent profile so new coatings or lines bond evenly and look sharp.

Typical Use Cases

• Changing aisle layouts or pallet positions
• Converting areas to indoor hatching or anti-slip zones
• Removing obsolete forklift routes & pedestrian lines
• Prepping for resin flooring or new car park line marking (for internal car parks)

Our Process

1. Free site survey — assess coating type, thickness, substrate, production windows
2. Fixed-price quote — method statement, programme, and traffic management plan
3. Removal — dust-controlled shot-blasting/grinding/chemical lift where appropriate
4. Make-good — repairs, texture blending, and cleaning
5. Re-line (optional) — fresh layouts, colours, symbols, and wayfinding

FAQs

Will removal damage my floor?

We use the lightest effective method and test a small area first. Where the original lines sit below the surrounding profile, we’ll blend to reduce ghosting.

Can you work around production?

Yes — nights, weekends, or phased zones. We’ll coordinate with your ops team to protect critical routes and racking.

How fast can areas be re-opened?

Removal areas can often reopen immediately after vac/extraction. If re-coating, cure times depend on the system specified.
