National line marking experts. For over 30 years.

We provide line marking and surface services nationwide — covering England, Scotland and Wales. From our head office in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, we coordinate teams to deliver projects anywhere in the UK.

Thermoplastic is a durable, reflective road marking material that's heated and applied to create a long-lasting bond with the surface — ideal for highways and high-traffic areas. We also apply MMA, epoxy and cold-applied systems depending on substrate and use-case.

Proper surface preparation ensures paint and thermoplastic adhesion, extending the life of your markings. At C&R, we handle every stage — from pressure washing and shot blasting to final application.

Our trained operatives use specialist line marking machines and manual techniques, depending on the project scale and surface type — always ensuring accuracy and compliance with Department for Transport standards.

Yes. C&R is registered to National Highway Sector Scheme 7 (NHSS 7) — the ISO 9001-based quality scheme for road markings and road studs on the public highway, and the standard a contractor must hold to work on the strategic road network. We apply thermoplastic, MMA and other systems to specification, with traffic management planned around live routes.

Public roads are managed by local authorities under Department for Transport regulations. For private land or car parks, markings are the responsibility of the landowner or tenant — a service we deliver routinely across retail, logistics and industrial sites.
