Thames is the commercial gateway to the Coromandel, with a historic Victorian main street along Pollen Street, a hospital serving the whole peninsula, marina and boat-ramp facilities, and a long heritage as a gold-mining town. Between retail, the Thames-Coromandel District Council assets, medical and aged-care sites, and the usual tourism-driven summer peak, our Waikato crew refreshes car parks and related infrastructure, with car park line marking the everyday job.
We partner with one line marking company per region. Thames jobs go to the Waikato crew, who cover the Thames-Coromandel alongside Hamilton and the wider region.

01 · Commercial
Car park line marking is the everyday job in Thames. Between Pollen Street retail, supermarkets, Thames Hospital and clinics, Thames-Coromandel District Council facilities, and the marina and boat-ramp car parks, our Waikato crew refreshes bays regularly. Coastal salt air and hot summers mean most car parks want a refresh every 2 to 4 years.

Thames car parks FAQ
Most 30 to 50 bay car parks on Pollen Street or at the supermarkets near Mary Street are re-marked overnight and traffic-ready within 2 to 3 hours. Thames Hospital and larger marina sites are staged so part of the parking stays open for staff and visitors.
Yes, we prefer late autumn through spring for tourism-adjacent sites along the Coromandel so the summer peak isn't disrupted. Marina and boat-ramp car parks are usually booked for May or September windows when visitor traffic is quieter.
02 · Civil
Thames sits at the junction of SH25 and SH26 with heavy summer tourism traffic and a steady flow of freight year round. The coastal road network wears paint hard, and new subdivisions and cycle infrastructure keep us in work through the year. We work on council and private roads with our own traffic management.
What’s included
Typical Thames jobs
Thames roads FAQ
Yes, we coordinate with Thames-Coromandel District Council on timing and traffic management for private roads being vested around Thames, Kōpū, and Parawai. Council paperwork is handled in-house so developers aren't chasing approvals between trades.
Thermoplastic is the right call for 5 to 10 years of service on tourism and freight routes along SH25 and SH26 feeds. Standard acrylic paint still suits quieter rural lanes through the Kauaeranga Valley with 2 to 4 years of life.
03 · Industrial
Thames has a spread of light industrial activity at Kōpū and Parawai, with marine-service, aquaculture, transport, and trade-supply depots scattered through both zones. Floor marking for forklifts and pallet jacks uses epoxy or MMA depending on wash-down exposure and forklift volumes. Coastal salt and humidity complicate the picture, so we specify systems that handle the brine atmosphere rather than defaulting to standard warehouse paint. We work from your 5S plan or help develop one, and stage jobs across weekend or shutdown windows.

Typical Thames jobs
Thames warehouses FAQ
Yes, marine-service and aquaculture sheds around Kōpū often plan maintenance windows with us well ahead of time. Work is staged across the floor so one bay stays operational while the rest cures, which keeps boat-repair schedules on track.
MMA handles the high-traffic and wash-down areas at Thames marine yards and aquaculture sheds where salt and constant hosing are in play. Epoxy still suits lower-traffic trade-supply storage bays at Parawai and Kōpū where conditions are drier.
04 · Recreation
Thames has a good cluster of school courts, the Thames Centennial Pool and adjacent sports facilities, and a ring of tennis and netball club courts across town. Basketball, netball, tennis, pickleball, and multi-sport overlays are all common, and pickleball on existing tennis courts has grown into a regular request from the local clubs. We can pre-resurface acrylic courts ahead of marking where the coating has degraded, and handle indoor gym floor marking at community hall and school venues across the Coromandel.

Typical Thames jobs
Thames sports courts FAQ
Yes, pickleball overlays on existing Thames tennis courts are becoming a popular request, especially at the club courts near the Centennial Pool. We use a clearly contrasting colour so tennis and pickleball lines stay easy to read on the shared surface.
A freshly marked court at a Thames school or the Centennial Pool complex is usually playable within 24 hours of the crew packing down. We leave a recommended cure time on the job sheet so the caretaker or club captain can reopen the court with confidence.
05 · Education
Thames has a handful of primary and intermediate schools, along with early-childhood centres across Kōpū, Parawai, and the surrounding valleys, that refresh their playground markings every few years. Bright, durable thermoplastic holds up for 5 to 10 years in the coastal UV and salt-air cycle the area sees. Custom stencils and bilingual designs are available for kura kaupapa and primary schools wanting their kaupapa reflected in the playground, and we schedule around mid-term breaks so classes stay undisturbed.

Typical Thames jobs
Thames schools FAQ
Both options work for Thames schools, and we work around each principal's calendar. Small refreshes fit into a weekend or an after-school block, while larger playground roll-outs are booked into mid-term breaks or the summer holiday window.
Yes, once cooled and bonded the thermoplastic we lay at Thames primary schools is inert. It also has a better grip rating than standard paint, which matters on wet coastal mornings when the courts are being used for lunchtime games.
06 · Specialist
Specialist work in Thames spans line removal, cold plastic (MMA) for marine and industrial yards at Kōpū and Parawai, anti-slip coatings on ramps and boat-ramp approaches, and helipad marking at Thames Hospital and rural rescue pads. Coastal salt air chews ordinary paint, so MMA and high-grip anti-slip systems work harder here than in an inland setting. We match the system to each environment and handle EV bay rollouts in retail car parks along Pollen Street as well.

Typical Thames jobs
Thames specialist FAQ
Yes, we specify high-grip coatings for the wet, salt-exposed concrete and timber at Thames marina and the boat-ramps along Tararu. The system holds up better than plain paint in the coastal conditions and gives users sure-footing on wet mornings.
Yes, shot-blasting and selective grinding take old paint and cold plastic off Thames car parks and yards without damaging the seal coat beneath. This matters around Pollen Street heritage frontages where surface scars would be visible to every passing visitor.

Thames prices are in line with the rest of the Waikato, with a small travel allowance for the coastal route. A 30-bay car park re-mark usually runs $1,500 to $3,500 plus GST.
Yes, we cover Thames, Coromandel town, Whitianga, Tairua, Whangamatā, and the settlements in between. The Waikato crew runs a regular Coromandel loop so travel costs don't get stacked onto small jobs in Tairua or Hahei the way they would with an Auckland outfit.
Overnight and weekend scheduling is standard at no extra charge for most Thames retail and warehouse jobs. Pollen Street heritage retail and Thames Hospital car parks almost always prefer the work done outside trading and visiting hours.
Small to mid-size Thames jobs usually start within the week of booking. Larger projects on Hospital, marina, or aquaculture sites are typically 2 to 3 weeks out after a site visit to confirm timing around tide tables and operational windows.
