Why Australia's Temporary Line Marking Specialists?

A national construction company called us with a problem across three states. Their subcontractors had been using standard line marking paint for temporary pedestrian diversions at multiple sites. Now they were facing six-figure remediation costs to remove permanent markings from surfaces that were meant to be handed back unmarked. They needed a reliable temporary marking partner who understood the difference.

We assessed each site and developed remediation plans for the existing damage while establishing proper temporary marking protocols going forward. Our crews stripped and cleaned the affected areas, then applied genuine temporary marking products rated for the required durations. When each site completed, the surfaces returned to original condition. The client now uses us exclusively for temporary marking nationwide.

Temporary line marking is a specialty, not just a lighter version of permanent marking. It requires understanding removal chemistry, surface porosity, climate effects, and durability requirements. Since 2009, we have completed over 5,000 projects across Australia, and our temporary marking expertise has been built through years of testing what works and what fails in Australian conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Temporary marking uses specially formulated paints and materials designed to release from surfaces without permanent bonding. These products sit on top of the surface rather than penetrating it, allowing complete removal without grinding, chemicals, or surface damage. Permanent marking bonds into the surface for maximum durability.

Depending on the product and conditions, temporary markings last from 2 weeks to 6 months. We select products based on your required duration, traffic levels, and local climate. Short-term event markings use lighter formulations, while construction site markings use more durable temporary products.

We mark on concrete, asphalt, timber, tiles, polished floors, synthetic turf, natural grass, and temporary flooring. Each surface type requires different products and techniques. We assess your surfaces during quoting and select appropriate materials for clean adhesion and complete removal.

Yes, removal is included in our temporary marking service. We schedule the removal date when you book, and our crew returns to strip all markings, pressure wash if needed, and ensure no residue remains. Most removals are completed in a few hours depending on the marked area.

We guarantee clean removal on properly prepared surfaces. Before applying any temporary marking, we assess surface condition and porosity to select appropriate products. In the rare event of removal issues, we handle remediation at our cost. This has occurred twice in over 15 years.

We offer same-day service for urgent jobs in major metro areas. Standard bookings are typically completed within 24 to 72 hours depending on location and scope. Major events or complex construction sites need 1 to 2 weeks notice for proper planning and product procurement.

Construction sites for pedestrian diversions and safety zones, events for crowd management and wayfinding, film and TV productions for set marking, sports for temporary court lines, retail for promotional layouts, and government for temporary traffic management. Any situation requiring markings that must disappear cleanly.

Pricing depends on total area, surface types, required durability, and removal timeline. Most temporary marking jobs range from $500 to $5,000 for standard projects. Complex multi-phase construction sites or major events cost more. We provide fixed quotes after understanding your complete scope.
