Kerikeri is the Bay of Islands’ commercial and horticultural service centre. The retail strip along Kerikeri Road, Waipapa’s growing industrial zone, and the orchards that surround the town mean car park line marking, pack-house floors, and private road work are in constant demand.
We partner with one line marking company per region. Kerikeri jobs go to the Northland crew, who cover every surface and service across the Bay of Islands, using paints and thermoplastic matched to the high-UV, humid subtropical conditions.

Six core service categories, covering everything from a single disabled bay re-mark to a full warehouse floor roll-out. Each category has its own paint chemistry, its own compliance rules, and its own typical Kerikeri applications. Click into a category to read the detail, the common local jobs, and the questions Kerikeri customers ask most.
01 · Commercial
Car park line marking is the most common job in Kerikeri. Between the supermarket and retail strip on Kerikeri Road, medical and professional services in the village, and the growing commercial cluster at Waipapa, our crew re-marks or lays new bays every week. High UV and coastal salt mean most Bay of Islands car parks need a refresh every 2 to 4 years.

Kerikeri car parks FAQ
A 30 to 50 bay Kerikeri Road or Waipapa re-mark is typically wrapped inside one overnight shift, with paint dry enough for morning traffic within 2 to 3 hours. Larger retail and strata lots are staged by bay so part of the car park stays available.
For everyday car parks we use high-build water-based acrylics. For harbour-adjacent Paihia sites or anywhere with heavy UV, thermoplastic or MMA is a better long-term bet.
Yes. Tourist-season work in the Bay of Islands is usually scheduled midweek or early morning, and we pay close attention to the MetService Northland forecast.
02 · Civil
Kerikeri and Waipapa are both growing, which means steady road marking for new subdivisions plus re-marking on Kerikeri Road, State Highway 10, and private rural roads winding through the orchard belt. We work on council and private roads, with our own temporary traffic management so short arterial closures can be handled without pulling in a second contractor. School-frontage crossings outside Kerikeri Primary and Springbank, and the shared paths around the Kerikeri inlet, also fall into this service regularly.

Typical Kerikeri jobs
Kerikeri roads FAQ
Yes. We coordinate with Far North District Council for private roads being vested and work under their specifications on timing and traffic management plans.
Standard road paint lasts 2 to 4 years. Thermoplastic lasts 5 to 10 years and is what we’d recommend for busier routes like Kerikeri Road.
03 · Industrial
The Waipapa industrial zone, orchard pack-houses, and citrus and kiwifruit facilities around Kerikeri keep our warehouse marking crews busy. Floor marking in pack-houses needs to handle forklifts, pallet jacks, and regular wash-downs, so we use epoxy or MMA systems built for that punishment.
What’s included
Typical Kerikeri jobs
Kerikeri warehouses FAQ
Yes. Citrus and kiwifruit pack-houses through the Kerikeri basin are marked between harvest runs or in the deeper off-season. We work to your operational calendar and can stage the floor by bay so picking lines keep running.
MMA cures in about an hour and takes heavier abuse. Epoxy is cheaper and great for lower-traffic environments. For a busy Kerikeri pack-house, MMA usually wins on total cost over 10 years.
Yes. We can work from your existing lean plan or help draft one for a Waipapa pack-house or cool store, using the same colour coding across your other NZ sites so new hires moving between facilities recognise the zones instantly.
04 · Recreation
Sports courts around Kerikeri get plenty of use. School courts, netball and basketball at the sports complex, and the pickleball boom at community centres mean we mark competition-spec courts on asphalt, concrete, and acrylic surfaces. Outdoor courts in Northland need UV-stable paint and often benefit from a multi-sport overlay.

Typical Kerikeri jobs
Kerikeri sports courts FAQ
Yes. The Kerikeri Sports Complex and community courts in the Waipapa and Paihia patch have had pickleball lines laid straight over the tennis surface. We pick a high-contrast colour so the tennis club night and the daytime pickleball crowd can both read the court cleanly.
Typically within 24 hours. Kerikeri summer humidity can push that out, and crisp winter mornings can shorten it to under 12 hours. We confirm the expected window at the walk-through so the club or school can plan around it.
05 · Education
Primary and intermediate schools across the Bay of Islands refresh their playground markings every few years. We lay bright, durable thermoplastic that holds up to lunchtime wear for 5 to 10 years. Popular options include number grids, hopscotch tracks, NZ and world maps, four-square, and junior basketball courts.
What’s included
Typical Kerikeri jobs
Kerikeri schools FAQ
Both. A quick hopscotch or number-grid refresh at Kerikeri Primary or Springbank can be knocked out across a weekend or after school. Larger court roll-outs across Waipapa and Paihia are scheduled into mid-term breaks or the summer holidays.
Yes. Thermoplastic is fully inert once cooled, and it is the same material laid on the pedestrian crossings along Kerikeri Road by Cobham and Hobson Avenue. Grip rating runs higher than standard paint, useful on a damp Bay of Islands morning.
06 · Specialist
The specialist category covers jobs outside the standard brief, and in Kerikeri that usually means line removal before a car park re-layout, pack-house anti-slip coatings, helipad markings, and high-wear cold plastic (MMA) for tanker and truck zones at the bigger horticultural operations. Kerikeri Airport apron markings, orchard helipads used for frost control and aerial work, and specialised pack-house finishes that need to stand up to wash-down and forklift abuse all sit in this service.

Kerikeri specialist FAQ
Yes. Shot-blasting and selective grinding pull old paint off the older chip seal on the orchard-access lanes without tearing it up. Water blasting is the gentlest option on the fresher asphalt you see at the Waipapa commercial cluster.
Lift the old lines cleanly, let the Kerikeri Road or Waipapa surface dry, and lay the new layout the same night. A typical 40-bay re-layout in a Kerikeri retail lot goes in across one overnight shift and is open for the morning trade.

Kerikeri pricing matches the rest of the Bay of Islands. A 30-bay re-mark at the Kerikeri Road retail strip or a Waipapa trade depot runs $1,500 to $3,500 plus GST. Pack-house floors, private orchard roads, and Springbank-area school courts are quoted after a site visit.
Yes. Our Northland crew covers Kerikeri, Waipapa, Paihia, Haruru Falls, Ōkaihau, and the surrounding orchards and lifestyle blocks. Russell is serviced by ferry.
After-hours and weekend work in Kerikeri is standard at no extra charge for most jobs. It lets us re-mark busy retail car parks and pack-house floors without disrupting operations.
Most small to mid-size Kerikeri jobs land inside the week or ride along with the next Waipapa or Paihia run. Larger pack-house floor roll-outs and Kerikeri Road re-layouts get a site visit first and are typically booked 2 to 3 weeks out.
