Line marking treatment during make good directly affects handover acceptance. Learn the requirements for removal and reinstatement.
Line marking is one of the most visible elements of a warehouse floor, and its treatment during make good directly affects handover acceptance.
Removal Requires Complete Elimination
Line marking cannot be partially removed. Proper removal requires mechanical grinding to fully eliminate coatings from the slab. This ensures:
- No residual markings remain (ghosting)
- The surface texture is consistent
- The slab is ready for the next tenant's layout
Incomplete removal results in visible shadows that landlords often reject.
When Repainting Is Required
In some cases, the requirement is not removal but reinstatement. This applies where safety zones must be maintained, layouts must match previous conditions, or operational requirements remain in place.
Surface Preparation Is Critical
Both removal and repainting depend on the condition of the slab. Without proper preparation, coatings fail prematurely, the finish is inconsistent, and the floor does not meet expectations.
Relationship to Slab Restoration
Line marking follows earlier stages of restoration, including anchor removal, concrete repair, and surface grinding. This ensures the floor is in the correct condition before marking is applied or removed.
Final Consideration
Line marking defines both function and presentation. A floor that is either clean or correctly marked is essential for a compliant handover and a professional appearance.
