Thermoplastic Line Marking

A Leading Thermoplastic Line Marking Contractor

Harrington Brothers Contractors are a leading contractor of thermoplastic line marking across Chelmsford, Epping and Brentwood along with the surrounding areas, serving clients throughout Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and London. We mark new surfaces and refresh existing ones for facilities managers, schools, businesses and local authorities, including the councils of Barnet, Hertsmere, Tower Hamlets and Brentwood.

Thermoplastic is the professional standard for a reason.

Applied hot, it bonds to the surface and cures in minutes, giving a bright, hard wearing marking that outlasts conventional paint many times over.

That means fewer repaint cycles, less repeat disruption and a lower whole life cost for your site.

Our thermoplastic road marking services suit both ends of the job: a car park or stretch of road that needs refurbishing, or a brand new surface that needs marking out for the first time. We mark fresh surfaces as the final stage of a surfacing contract, and we re mark existing ones as a standalone job, the same crews, the same materials and the same clean, precise result either way.

Road Markings That Keep Traffic Moving Safely

Road markings are an important safety feature of any highway or estate road, giving drivers clear information on lanes, speeds, crossings and turning points.

Once marking paint begins to fade, it stops doing its job.

A contractor should be called in promptly to retouch the markings and make the road safe again.

We apply and refresh:

• Lane dividers, centre lines and edge lines
• Pedestrian crossings, give way and stop markings
• Directional arrows and speed roundels
• Hatched areas and no parking zones

Line marking also pairs naturally with our surfacing works: after road repairs or pothole patching, we reinstate any affected markings so the carriageway is handed back complete and compliant. For councils, that joined up scope extends across our wider local authority work, footpath reconstruction, marking bays in car parks, playground resurfacing and patching existing infrastructure.

Car Park Bays, Playground Markings and More

Beyond the highway, thermoplastic line marking brings order to any hard surface. We mark parking bays, disabled spaces, parent and child bays, directional arrows and no parking zones for car parks of every size, often as the finishing stage of our car park surfacing projects, though we’re just as happy marking an existing surface.

For schools and councils, we apply playground games, courts and custom designs in bright, durable colour, work that sits alongside our playground surfacing service.

Whatever the marking, we guarantee a first class application and a speedy service, planned so the marking process causes the least amount of disruption possible.

Our customer service team will always be on hand to assist with any enquiries you may have, before, during and after the works.

Every job starts with accurate setting out.

Bays are measured and squared, arrows and roundels positioned to standard dimensions, and disabled and parent and child spaces sized correctly.

A car park that’s marked properly holds more vehicles, flows better and generates fewer complaints than one that isn’t, so the surveying stage earns its keep.
