Line marking removal is an essential process for keeping outdoor sites compliant, organised and visually clear.
At Line-Mark, we specialise in the safe and efficient removal of thermoplastic, paint, MMA and epoxy markings from
car parks, yards, loading bays and external road surfaces. Our systems are dust-controlled, precise and environmentally responsible — ideal for live logistics environments and public-facing car parks.
We provide free site surveys, fixed quotes, and traffic-safe night or weekend work to minimise disruption while keeping your operations flowing.
Outdoor Line Marking Removal in Action
Watch how our outdoor line marking removal process restores surfaces quickly and safely without damaging the substrate.
What Our Line Marking Removal Covers
- Removal of thermoplastic arrows, boxes, hatching and lettering
- Elimination of painted lines and symbols (acrylic, epoxy, polyurethane)
- MMA (cold plastic) colour blocks, walkways and symbols
- Obsolete numbers, EV/disabled logos and redundant signage
Outdoor Line Removal Methods
- Captive shot-blasting — accurate stripe removal with on-tool dust extraction
- Diamond grinding / scarifying — ideal for thick or stubborn thermoplastic
- Hydro-blasting — controlled high-pressure water removal
- Heat-lift & scrape — rapid thermoplastic lift for small corrections
- Vacuum recovery — reduces debris and eliminates “ghosting”
Minimising Ghosting & Surface Scarring
We feather edges and blend surface textures to prevent old markings from reappearing.
Concrete and asphalt are treated differently for consistent, clean finishes ready for re-marking or car park re-lining.
Health, Safety & Compliance
- Dust suppression and debris control aligned with HSE Workplace Transport guidance
- Comprehensive RAMS, signage and isolation procedures for live sites
- Compliance with DfT Traffic Signs Manual, Chapter 5
- Material performance aligned to BS EN 1436 (colour, luminance, skid resistance)
Outdoor Line Marking Removal Process
- Survey & quote — identify coating types, thickness and access
- Removal — choose the safest, most effective technique
- Make-good — texture blending, cleaning and vacuum recovery
- Re-lining (optional) — apply new layout immediately after removal
- Handover — QC inspection, photos, and maintenance guidance
Line Marking Removal FAQs
Can line marking removal damage the surface?
We always test a small section first and use the lightest effective method for your surface. There is always a chance that scarification will occur and we advise you to always be present during line removal.
How soon can traffic resume?
Most areas reopen immediately after vacuum recovery. If re-marking follows, reopen time depends on curing and weather conditions.
Do you manage traffic control?
Yes — we handle all cones, barriers, and signage, and can produce a traffic management plan (TMP) where required.
Can you remove specific markings only?
Yes. We can remove selected symbols, letters, or bays while preserving adjacent lines.
Do you also repaint lines after removal?
Yes — we provide outdoor hatching and
car park line marking for complete re-layout projects.
