Playgrounds work incredibly hard. After years of happy feet running all over, break-time adventures, and all kinds of British weather, even the best markings can start to look a little tired.
We’ve all seen it: that once-bright hopscotch is now a faint outline, and the sports court lines are cracked or peeling. It’s not just about looks; it can be hard for a playground to feel inspiring when the games are faded, and it can even become a safety concern.
But this isn't a problem, it's an opportunity!
Removing those old markings is the single best way to hit the refresh button on your entire outdoor space and clear the canvas for something new, exciting, and safe.
We don't just offer a 'removal' service; it's a complete Playground Refresh.
As the UK's only start-to-finish thermoplastic manufacturer, our friendly in-house team has the specialist equipment to make the whole process easy and stress-free. We’ll handle everything, ensuring your old markings are removed safely and efficiently, with minimal disruption to your school day.
Our team can help solve all those common playground problems:
Faded or Cracked Thermoplastic: We have the specialist kit to gently remove old, bonded thermoplastic without damaging your tarmac.
Peeling Playground Paint: We'll safely remove failing paint that is flaking and becoming a hazard.
Damaged or Uneven Surfaces: Our team will prepare the surface, making sure it's clean, safe, and perfectly primed for a new installation.
Making Way for New Designs: This is the perfect first step before installing a new bespoke logo, a fun new sports court, or an exciting fitness trail.
The removal process is just as important as the installation. If it's done incorrectly, it can damage your tarmac. We've been doing this for a while and know the ins and outs of different removals options on different surfaces. The image above shows good results from older tarmac using a waterjet removals machine.
We Protect Your Investment: Our team knows exactly how to prepare the surface to meet our own high manufacturing standards.
We Guarantee Your New Markings: When our expert team handles the removal, we can fully and confidently stand by our 3-Year Manufacturer Guarantee for the new markings we install.
A Seamless, Friendly Process: We are your single point of contact. We manage the removal, the prep, and the beautiful new installation. No third-party contractors, no blame games, just a perfect finish from a team that cares.
