Road Line Removal

A data sheet on our line marking removal services, a suitable summary for printing is available in pdf format, here

We specialise in using a low pressure sand jetting system. This 'damp' system captures line marking material, dirt and abrasive, preventing the health and safety risks associated with dry blasting, and with none of the toxic fumes and thick smoke of burning the material off. Ultra High Pressure Water is also used for line marking removal, but can in some circumstances damage tarmac.

In the last few years we have been particularly busy with removing school playground markings, our machine can generally get a cleaning nozzle to the playground (although the obsession with putting up buildings to surround the playgrounds can be a problem) and our lack of smoke can create less friction with neighbours - and we leave a very clean road marking - we don't just melt the marking to destruction!

White lines removed from a car park in Rotherham, August 2003

We are using a black abrasive, all the white material on the carpark is the removed white lines! This is easily, and most cost effectively swept up by a standard road sweeper.

The sand jet can clean road markings from concrete (including textured concrete), brick paviours, paving slabs, tarmac and even wooden road surfaces (there are a few of these in Yorkshire!)

School playground markings a speciality, whether you need the lines replacing, or the whole painted surface returned to a non-slip tarmac condition!

Key Benefits

• The low pressures mean that the system is gentle enough to clean delicate surfaces, yet powerful enough to strip multiple layers of paint in one pass.
• It is not a chemical process so no noxious or harmful slurries or fumes are generated.
• As it uses only minimal amounts of water and abrasive the system is regularly used indoors.> It will easily remove line markings for forklift bays etc, and key epoxy screed surfaces for new coatings.
