Line Marking Nelson

Most 30 to 50 bay Nelson car parks are re-marked overnight and traffic-ready within 2 to 3 hours of the final coat. Trafalgar Street retail and Tāhunanui supermarkets are usually handed back before the morning trade opens.

Nelson has NZ's highest sunshine hours, which fade standard acrylic paint within two to three years on unshaded lines. Thermoplastic or MMA extends service life noticeably on exposed Trafalgar Street, Tāhunanui, and Port Nelson drive lanes and recovers the extra upfront cost over a single cycle.

Yes, we coordinate with Nelson City Council as the local unitary authority on timing and traffic management for private roads being vested and for school frontage crossings. Port Nelson access and the Maitai Valley corridor often involve joint scheduling with council teams.

Standard acrylic paint lasts 2 to 4 years in Nelson, though the highest sunshine hours in the country do shorten the upper end. Thermoplastic extends service life to 5 to 10 years on busy SH6 stretches and the Port Nelson approach roads, which usually pays off on higher-traffic lines.

Yes. We book weekend or shutdown windows for Port Nelson freight, seafood processing plants, and Annesbrook distribution sites, and stage work so part of the floor stays operational while we mark. Night shifts are also common for cool stores and craft breweries.

MMA suits heavy forklift traffic in Port Nelson container yards and the freight depots along the industrial fringe at Tāhuna. Epoxy is our standard pick for seafood processing rooms, craft brewery floors, and general warehouse marking where wash-down and chemical resistance matter.

Yes, this is the most common court upgrade we do across Nelson right now. We overlay pickleball lines in a contrasting colour on existing tennis courts in The Wood, Tāhunanui, and club sites, so both sports are playable without having to build new hardstand.

Typically within 24 hours of the final coat going down. Nelson's high sunshine hours generally help cure times, and most clubs and schools across the city are back on court the next morning after a weekend re-mark.

Both work, depending on the scope of the job. Small refreshes at Nelson and Stoke primaries happen on weekends or after school hours, while larger roll-outs across multiple schools are scheduled into mid-term breaks or the summer holidays to avoid disrupting classes.

Yes. It is the same material used for public pedestrian crossings, and it offers far better grip than standard paint when wet, which matters in Nelson winter mornings. The cured surface is inert and standard across primary school playgrounds in Stoke, Tāhunanui, and The Wood.

Yes. Shot-blasting, water blasting, and diamond grinding all remove paint cleanly from Nelson asphalt and concrete, and we tune the depth so the chip seal surface stays intact. The technique is routine on Port Nelson yards and retail car parks around the CBD where simple overpainting would leave ghost lines.

One overnight shift is enough for a typical 40-bay Nelson car park re-layout, weather permitting. We usually start after close on Trafalgar Street or Tāhunanui retail sites, finish before sunrise, and the car park is traffic-ready for the morning opening.
