Overview

Warehouse Floor Marking That Keeps Operations Safe

A clearly marked warehouse floor is essential for worker safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Markex provides professional warehouse and industrial line marking for distribution centres, fulfilment warehouses, manufacturing plants, cold stores, and food production facilities across the UK.

We mark pedestrian walkways, forklift and vehicle lanes, racking bay positions, loading and unloading zones, fire exit routes, first aid points, and hazard areas. Colour coding follows HSE guidance: yellow for pedestrian walkways and hazard zones, white for storage bay markings.

We use fast-setting, heavy-duty materials that withstand forklift traffic, pallet drops, and industrial cleaning regimes. Most markings are trafficable within 30 minutes, minimising disruption to your warehouse operations. We provide a site-specific risk assessment and method statement before every project.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What colours are used for warehouse floor markings?
Yellow is the standard colour for pedestrian walkways and hazard zones in UK warehouses, following HSE guidance. White is typically used for storage bay and racking position markings. Red is used for fire equipment and emergency routes. We can advise on the appropriate colour scheme for your facility.
How long does warehouse line marking take?
A typical warehouse of 5,000–10,000 sq ft can be marked in one to two days. Larger facilities are phased to keep operations running throughout. We work nights and weekends where required.
Can you mark around racking and machinery?
Yes. We are experienced working in live warehouse environments around racking, machinery, and equipment. We coordinate with your site team throughout to ensure safe working and minimal disruption.
Do you work in cold stores and food production facilities?
Yes. We use materials suitable for cold store environments and food production facilities, including low-temperature-cure products where required. We follow site hygiene protocols and can work within food-safe environments.
How long do warehouse floor markings last?
Heavy-duty epoxy and thermoplastic markings typically last 3–7 years in a warehouse environment, depending on traffic volume, floor condition, and cleaning frequency. We can advise on the most suitable product for your site.
Do you provide risk assessments and method statements?
Yes. We provide a site-specific risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) before every warehouse project. Documentation is provided on completion.
