Line Marking in Portsmouth
Car parks, parking courts, yards, schools and secure sites across Portsmouth and south-east Hampshire
Line marking in Portsmouth, Fareham, Gosport and Havant
Bournemouth White Lining marks car parks, private roads, residential parking courts, commercial yards, school playgrounds and sports courts across Portsmouth and the surrounding towns, including Southsea, Cosham, Fareham, Gosport, Havant and Waterlooville. Portsmouth is one of the places we cover in Hampshire, along the M27 from our base in Bournemouth.
Because it's a longer trip for us, we plan Portsmouth jobs carefully: we agree the layout and timings up front so the work can be done in as few visits as possible.
Making the most of tight city sites
Portsmouth is a crowded island city, and parking space is at a premium. On flats, offices, shops and housing developments, a well-planned layout can make the difference between a car park that works and one that causes daily arguments. We mark:
- Numbered and allocated bays for residents, staff and visitors
- Parking courts and private roads on housing developments
- Keep clear zones at gates, bin stores and access points
- Yellow lines and hatching to stop parking where it blocks access
- Disabled bays and EV charging bays
Our guide to disabled parking bay dimensions explains how accessible bays are sized, and our business guide to parking lines covers layouts and upkeep.
Yards, warehouses and secure sites
With the port, the naval base and the industrial estates around the city, many Portsmouth sites need more than parking bays: loading bays, lorry routes, fire routes, walkways and warehouse floor markings that keep people and vehicles apart.
We're used to working on controlled sites. At Tidworth Barracks we painted the floor inside a building with a red walkway coating and yellow edge lines. On sites with access controls or inductions, tell us what's needed when you ask for a price and we'll plan the work and paperwork around it.
See our safety markings and warehouse floor marking pages, or our guide to loading bay and fire route markings.
Our services in Portsmouth
Planning line marking in Portsmouth
Private land or public road? Car parks, parking courts, business premises, schools and private roads are the owner's or managing agent's to arrange, so you can book us directly. Markings on the public road in the city are the responsibility of the highway authority, Portsmouth City Council, and in Fareham, Gosport, Havant and Waterlooville, Hampshire County Council.
Residential sites. On flats and housing developments, cars need to be moved off the area being marked. We'll agree the date with you or your managing agent early, so residents can be told in good time, and we can mark one section at a time.
What to send us. A site plan or photos, the postcode and the number of bays you need help us price the job without an extra visit. Call 01202 548 102 or use the form below.
