Here are just some of the things you can expect from our road marking services:

Road marking services and line painting

We assess every new job before we start so we know what type of paint to use and how long it will take us to do the job. We pride ourselves on completing work on time and always within budget.

We work through the night when fewer vehicles are on the road to keep traffic moving at peak times. The last thing anyone wants is to spend longer in traffic, so we keep road closures to a minimum. 

The safety of our people and the public is a priority for us, which is why we’ve invested heavily in staff training and are committed to maintaining those standards.

Recognised safety for road line painting

We’ve been awarded the RoSPA gold medal five times for our dedication to health and safety, and we hold the British Standard (18001) for occupational health and safety.  

We also have ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 (the standard for assessing a company’s environmental impact). We’re active members of groups like the Road Safety Markings Association, so we’re the first to know about changes to the law and industry updates that might affect our clients.

Your FAQs on road line marking

If there’s something we haven’t covered, you may find the answer in our FAQs. 

Thermoplastic road lines are made using a type of powder paint that is heated up before it’s applied. We use thermoplastic paint for road line markings because it’s highly visible, durable, and quick to dry. 

We cover the whole of the UK and some parts of Europe. We’ve been awarded contracts on the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, and the Scottish Isles.

Riggotts has met part 7 of the National Highway Sector Scheme (NHSS) for road marking. This proves that we have the right management system in place to work safely on the roads.
