At Hot Thermoplastic Line Marking, we deliver precision-applied, long-lasting surface markings designed to manage traffic, improve safety, and maximise space in car parks, roads, and industrial environments.

Using high-performance thermoplastic materials that meet BS EN 1436 standards, we apply clear, durable line markings for sites across UK.

Whether you need markings for a major highway or a small private facility, our team offers fast, compliant results tailored to your project requirements.

What Is Hot Thermoplastic Line Marking and Why Is It Used?

Hot thermoplastic line marking is a rapid-setting molten compound applied to tarmac or concrete to create hard-wearing, high-visibility lines.

Commonly used in roads, car parks, pedestrian zones, and industrial yards, it cures in minutes, withstands heavy use, and resists fading from weather or UV exposure. Reflective glass beads can be embedded for enhanced night-time visibility.

What Types of Line Markings Are Available?

We offer a full selection of hot thermoplastic line markings, including:

• Single and double yellow lines – For parking restrictions and no-parking zones.
• White lane and centre lines – To define road lanes and guide vehicle movement.
• Chevron and hatch markings – To indicate keep-clear areas or restricted zones.
• Directional arrows – For traffic flow control and turning guidance.
• Stop lines – To mark legal stopping points at junctions or crossings.
• Speed roundels – Clearly displayed speed limits painted on the surface.
• Custom lettering and numbers – For bay numbers, messages, or identifiers.
• Anti-skid zones with glass beads – For improved traction in high-risk areas.
• Standard or custom layouts – Designed to suit your specific site and compliance needs.

How Much Does Hot Thermoplastic Line Marking Cost?

Hot thermoplastic line marking costs between £3 and £10 per linear metre, with total project costs ranging from £300 to £5,000+, depending on the complexity and size of the site.

Pricing is influenced by the type and quantity of markings, surface preparation, and site access. Additional charges may apply for intricate layouts, out-of-hours work, or locations requiring traffic management.

How Long Does Thermoplastic Line Marking Last?

Hot thermoplastic line markings on private roads or low-traffic areas can last up to 10 years. In high-traffic or industrial settings, expected durability ranges from 3 to 5 years depending on surface wear and weather conditions.

Compared to standard road paint, thermoplastic offers greater longevity and reduced maintenance, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term use.

Where Is Hot Thermoplastic Line Marking Used?

We install hot thermoplastic line markings in a wide range of environments, including:

• Public roads and junctions – Enhancing traffic control and vehicle flow.
• School zones – Improving visibility and safety for pupils and parents.
• Pedestrian crossings – High-contrast markings for safer foot traffic.
• Car parks – Organised layouts for efficient space usage and traffic direction.
• Loading bays – Clear demarcations for delivery and service vehicle access.
• Warehouses and industrial estates – Marked zones for equipment and personnel movement.
• Airport taxiways – Guidance markings for ground-level aircraft navigation.
• Bus lanes and cycle routes – Defined lanes for designated transport modes.
• Private and commercial sites – Tailored solutions for site-specific marking needs.

How Is Thermoplastic Line Marking Installed?

Our process of using hot thermoplastic line marking starts with surface cleaning and layout planning to ensure accuracy and adhesion.

The thermoplastic is then heated and applied using specialist equipment for a smooth, even finish. Where required, reflective glass beads are added for increased visibility in low-light conditions.

The material cools and hardens within minutes, allowing areas to be reopened to vehicles or foot traffic with minimal disruption. Every installation undergoes checks to ensure alignment, finish, and compliance with UK and EU standards.
