Bespoke school playground markings

Every playground is different, and so are its playground markings. We don’t copy and paste designs; we make custom markings and apply them using a combination of sprayed-on line markings and pre-formed thermoplastic floor graphics for the hard-to-paint bits.

Custom design and installation of your playground markings is done in simple steps.

1. Advise

The first step is to collaborate on what you want to achieve. If you need inspiration for your playground markings, we have plenty! With over 30 years of experience in line marking, we have lots of ideas and a raft of pre-made templates to inspire your designs. 

2. Design

Once we understand your requirements and what you want for your playground, we’ll begin the design process. Before we install anything, you’ll have full sign-off on your new playground line markings and floor graphics. 

3. Install

Finally, our team of experienced school playground markings installers will get to work. We’ll create a schedule around you to minimise disruption so your playground isn’t out of action for long. Then it’s over to you to unveil the space to your toughest critics – the children.

Anti-slip playground markings in Bradford

The staff at Margaret McMillan Primary School had a vision for how they wanted their school playground to look.

They contacted us to make this a reality, and we started by transforming their custom drawings into brightly coloured, non-slip playground markings.

We applied an anti-slip coating to the new designs and to the existing concrete slabs, too.

If they gave out grades for floor graphics, we’d be A-star pupils!

Picking a playground markings company

Riggotts has worked in the line marking industry for over 30 years. We started our business in 1994 when the first PlayStation was about to be released, and kids still played outside until teatime.

Fast forward to today, and school playtime is often the most active part of the day for some children. We pride ourselves on providing safe, engaging playground markings that encourage them to spend longer playing outside.

When you choose Riggotts for playground markings, you can expect meticulous attention to detail and a bright, robust finish that stands the test of time. Because we thoroughly prep the area before we begin painting, our markings last longer than others.
