Overview

Complete Car Park Refurbishment for Commercial Sites

Car park markings fade, chip, and wear over time — particularly on high-traffic sites such as retail parks, hospital car parks, distribution centres, and office complexes. When markings become unclear, bay capacity drops, disabled access compliance is compromised, and the overall impression of your site suffers.

Markex provides full car park refurbishment and relining services for commercial property managers, facilities managers, and site operators across the UK. We assess your existing car park, remove or mask old markings where required, and apply a fresh, compliant layout using thermoplastic or road-grade paint.

A refurbishment project can include updating the bay layout to current standards, adding or relocating disabled bays to meet BS 8300 guidance, incorporating EV charging bays, adding bay numbering, refreshing directional arrows and give way markings, and updating pedestrian crossing points. We provide a fixed-price quote following a free site survey.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a car park refurbishment typically include?
A car park refurbishment typically includes removal or masking of old markings, remarking of standard bays, disabled bays, directional arrows, give way markings, and pedestrian crossings. It may also include layout changes, bay numbering, EV charging bay marking, and parent and child bay additions. The scope depends on your site and requirements.
Do you remove old markings before applying new ones?
Yes. Where old markings are in a different position to the new layout, or where they would show through the new markings, we remove or mask them before applying the new layout. Removal methods depend on the surface and the type of existing marking.
Can you update our disabled bays to current standards?
Yes. We can remark disabled bays to BS 8300 dimensions, add or update wheelchair symbols and hatching, and advise on the recommended number of accessible spaces for your car park size.
Can you add EV charging bay markings to our existing car park?
Yes. We can add EV charging bay markings to an existing car park as a standalone project, or incorporate them into a full refurbishment. We mark the bay outline, EV symbol, and any directional signage required.
How long does a car park refurbishment take?
The duration depends on the size of the car park and the scope of work. A straightforward re-mark of a medium-sized car park can typically be completed in one or two nights. Larger projects or those requiring significant surface preparation will take longer. We provide a programme with the quotation.

EV Infrastructure

EV Charging Bay Marking

The installation of electric vehicle charging points across UK car parks is accelerating. Retail parks, supermarkets, office complexes, and commercial properties are adding charging infrastructure, and each installation requires clearly marked bays to guide drivers and comply with emerging standards.

Markex marks EV charging bays with the correct bay outline dimensions, the EV symbol (a plug or lightning bolt), and any directional signage required to guide drivers from the car park entrance to the charging area. EV bays can be incorporated into a full car park refurbishment or added to an existing marked car park as a standalone project.

Where a car park is being refurbished, we can advise on the positioning of EV bays relative to the charging unit locations, pedestrian routes, and the overall bay layout. We do not install charging units or electrical infrastructure — our scope is the line marking and associated signage on the ground surface.
