At BECOSAN®, we eliminate all kinds of industrial floor markings that are in poor condition: safety boundaries, signs, and transit lines.
We provide professional service throughout the UK and the rest of Europe.
Poor industrial signage entails risks, potentially causing operators to make mistakes and cause accidents. In addition, the prevention of occupational hazards requires adequate signage on floors.
For this reason, we offer the removal of industrial marking on concrete floors, for its subsequent improvement.
This service is one of the previous steps before carrying out our BECOSAN® patented polishing treatment, with which we harden and seal the floor and prevent future damage.
Industrial line marking removal is commonly carried out as part of warehouse refurbishment and tenant change projects. It prepares the concrete floor for new operational layouts and ensures previous markings do not interfere with future warehouse activities.
Typical projects include:

Solutions
If our client has transit lines or signage in poor condition, we proceed to eliminate them.
The removal works are planned according to the scope of the refurbishment project, allowing line marking removal to be coordinated with other floor repairs and reducing unnecessary disruption to warehouse operations.
For this there are 2 types of solutions, depending on the type of industrial marking.
We have worked with large national and international companies.
Floor area: 61,500 m²
Challenge: Following the departure of the previous tenant, the warehouse floor was covered with outdated line markings and operational paint that no longer matched the layout required by the incoming logistics operator. These markings, together with other floor defects, had to be removed quickly to prepare the facility for handover.
Solution delivered: Complete removal of the existing line marking paint using mechanical grinding methods, ensuring the concrete surface was left clean and free from residual coatings. This formed part of the wider floor refurbishment programme, allowing the slab to be repaired and prepared before the application of the BECOSAN® treatment.
Result: The obsolete line markings were completely removed, restoring a clean and uniform concrete surface ready for the new warehouse layout. The project enabled the warehouse to be refurbished and handed over to the incoming tenant within a demanding 60-day programme.
The client needed an in-depth repair, where there were industrial markings in poor condition, semi-erased paint lines, cracks, and a multitude of screws and anchors protruding from the pavement.
Various repairs and our BECOSAN® polishing treatment were carried out, leaving the floor as good as new.
The removal method depends on the condition of the concrete floor, the type of marking material and the required finish once the markings have been removed.
In most industrial refurbishment projects, BECOSAN® removes line markings by mechanical grinding using professional floor preparation equipment. Where necessary, the process may be adapted to suit the characteristics of the existing markings and to achieve complete removal while preserving the concrete surface.
Our objective is not only to remove obsolete markings, but also to leave the floor properly prepared for any subsequent repairs, surface preparation or concrete treatment.
This is a relatively quick and easy task to perform and we are used to carrying it out. So time isn´t a problem.
In addition, we work by zones and thereby factory production does not stop.
Line marking removal is often one stage of a wider industrial floor refurbishment project. Once the markings have been removed, the concrete floor can be prepared for repairs, joint restoration, anchor removal or the application of the BECOSAN® treatment, depending on the project’s requirements.
Planning these works together helps reduce downtime, improves project coordination and ensures the floor is ready for its intended use.
No. When carried out using the appropriate grinding equipment and process, line marking removal removes the existing markings while preserving the integrity of the concrete surface. The grinding sequence is adapted to the condition of the floor and the type of marking, ensuring the concrete is properly prepared for its next stage of use without unnecessary removal of sound material.
Yes. Once the existing markings have been completely removed and the concrete surface has been properly prepared, new traffic routes, safety markings and operational line markings can be applied according to the new warehouse layout.
