Airport/Hangar Line Marking & Surface Systems
At Total Line Marking, we deliver specialist surface marking and coating solutions for airports, airfields, and aviation facilities across the UK. Our systems are designed to perform under constant aircraft movement, heavy loads, and changing weather conditions, while maintaining clear visibility and long-term reliability.
From runway and taxiway markings to hangar floor layouts and operational zones, every project is completed with precision and attention to detail. All work is carried out in line with strict aviation standards, ensuring surfaces remain compliant, clearly defined, and safe for daily operations.
Runway & Taxiway Markings
Runway and taxiway markings are essential for aircraft guidance and must remain clear and highly visible in all conditions. We install high-performance systems in full compliance with ICAO and CAA requirements, using specialist materials and proven application methods to deliver accuracy and longevity.
Our approach ensures strong bonding to the surface, excellent visibility in low-light conditions, and consistent performance across high-traffic areas exposed to environmental wear.
- ● ICAO & CAA compliant markings
- ● High reflectivity for night visibility
- ● Anti-skid systems for added safety
- ● Thermoplastic and MMA applications
Hangar Floor Markings
Hangar floors require clear, durable markings to support safe and efficient workflows. We design and install tailored layouts that define aircraft positions, pedestrian routes, and operational zones, helping to improve organisation and reduce risk.
All systems are applied using robust materials suited to demanding environments, including exposure to heavy machinery, fuels, and cleaning processes, while maintaining a sharp, professional finish.
- ● Aircraft bay layouts and positioning
- ● Safety walkways and exclusion zones
- ● Storage and equipment markings
- ● Chemical and fuel-resistant systems
Apron & Stand Markings
Clear and accurate apron and stand markings are key to smooth ground operations. We deliver precisely applied layouts that assist with aircraft positioning, improve site coordination, and enhance overall safety across busy operational areas.
Each scheme is applied with careful attention to detail, ensuring markings remain easy to interpret for ground crews and pilots in a range of working conditions.
- ● Aircraft stand numbering
- ● Alignment and guidance markings
- ● Ground handling zones
- ● Vehicle routes and operational areas
Aviation Surface Coatings
We install specialist coating systems developed for aviation environments where durability and safety are critical. These coatings are formulated to cope with heavy use, exposure to fuel and chemicals, and challenging weather conditions.
Anti-slip finishes can be incorporated where required, helping to improve grip and reduce risk in key areas across both internal and external surfaces.
- ● Anti-slip safety coatings
- ● Fuel and chemical resistant systems
- ● Fast-curing materials to minimise downtime
- ● Suitable for internal and external surfaces
Additional Aviation Services
Alongside primary runway and hangar works, we provide a range of supporting marking services to ensure your entire site is clearly structured and easy to navigate. These solutions help maintain organisation, improve safety, and ensure compliance across all operational areas.
Our team can deliver consistent results across both internal and external environments, adapting layouts to suit your site requirements.
- ● Helipad markings
- ● Airfield roadways and routes
- ● Internal hangar layouts
- ● Safety signage and directional markings
Surface Preparation & Line Removal
Effective preparation is key to achieving a high-quality finish. We carry out full surface preparation prior to installation, including the removal of existing markings and thorough cleaning to ensure a suitable base for new applications.
This process improves adhesion, enhances finish quality, and supports long-term performance of all applied systems.
- ● Removal of old or redundant markings
- ● Shot blasting and surface cleaning
- ● Surface repairs where required
- ● Preparation for new coatings
Maintenance & Re-Markings
To keep markings clear and compliant, regular maintenance is essential. We provide ongoing support services including re-marking and refresh works, helping to ensure surfaces remain visible and accurate over time.
Works can be planned around operational schedules, including out-of-hours where required, to reduce disruption and maintain efficiency.
- ● Line refreshing and repainting
- ● Scheduled maintenance works
- ● Out-of-hours availability
- ● Nationwide coverage

FAQs
1. What standards do airport markings need to meet?
Airport markings must comply with ICAO and CAA guidelines to ensure safe and consistent aircraft movement.
2. How long do runway markings last?
This depends on usage and materials, but thermoplastic and MMA systems can last several years with proper maintenance.
3. Can you work in live airport environments?
Yes, works can be planned around operational schedules to avoid disruption.
4. What materials are used for aviation markings?
We use thermoplastic, MMA, and other high-durability coatings designed for aviation use.
5. Do you install hangar floor coatings as well as markings?
Yes, we provide both line marking and full coating systems.
6. How quickly can works be completed?
Fast-curing systems allow areas to be returned to service quickly depending on the scope of work.
