Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the thermoplastic markings last?
We offer a 4 year warranty on markings, however, we expect them to last for 10 years - this is up to 10 times longer than paint.
How much is an installation?
All installation costs are within the markings quote you will get from our expert playground consultants.
Do you have a brochure?
Yes, please feel free to enquiry and we will get one out to you.
Why is there chalk around the markings?
We mark all of our games with chalk to ensure it is the correct size and in line. The chalk will wash away with rainfall or if you would like to jet wash it away this would also work.
How are the markings applied?
We apply the markings following a step by step process, but essentially we do it by heating onto the surface with a propane lance, creating a bond with the tarmac.
How is the Tarmac restored installed?
The environmentally friendly product is coated onto the surface reintroducing the original polymers. Its long-term protection against UV light and water helps to prolong the black colour and prevent the surface from cracking in the future.
How do we maintain and keep the markings fresh?
Simply use some soapy water and brush the markings with a hard bristled brush, this will allow for the markings to stay as fresh as possible.
How long does an installation take?
This is dependent on the size of the project however, most installations will be complete within a day.
hy is the tarmac darker around the markings?
This is down to two reasons, firstly we use heat to apply the markings, which will draw bitumen from the tarmac to the surface. Please do not worry as this fades over time. Secondly, we apply a surface primer on older ground to seal the surface in preparation for the markings. This is a dark color and used on a larger area. This will also fade over time.
What is the Tarmac restorer?
The preformed thermoplastic we use has a slip - resistant standard of 65, however, to ensure it is slip resistant we add a little more whilst installing.
What is the dust over the markings?
Our Tarmac restore is a high-quality, water based formula that reinstated the deep, black colour of tarmac.
What happens if our installation date is canceled due to bad weather?
Our high quality project management team will keep you up to date with things and we will not leave you without any markings for too long. We will come to the school at the earliest convenience to ensure the children can use the new markings as soon as possible.
