Bays gone faint under a winter of traffic, or a freshly sealed car park with nothing on it yet: both jobs start with someone on site holding a tape measure. Group One New Zealand runs its line marking from a base on Foremans Road in Islington, so a Christchurch site is a drive across town rather than a trip in from out of the region. Sydney Chappell founded the New Zealand company in 2026, and the same crews cover the wider region, from Amberley in the north to Timaru in the south. Tell us the address and roughly how many bays or square metres you are dealing with, and we will come out and take a look.
What gets marked on a Christchurch site
Whether it is an office car park, a warehouse floor, a school or a court, the work falls into a short list:
- Car park bays, aisles, directional arrows and hatching
- Disabled bays, loading zones and no-parking areas
- Warehouse and factory floor zoning, forklift lanes and pedestrian walkways
- Stencils, bay numbering and custom markings
- Sports court and school playground markings
- Removal or re-marking of existing lines
Our service includes the design and implementation of walkthrough lanes, forklift paths, and specific zones for storage, which help in minimising work-related accidents and improving logistical operations.
Plenty of it is first-time layouts rather than re-marks. Canterbury added business locations at 2.4% in the year to August 2025, the highest rate in the country, and the rebuilt central city is now mostly new apartments and townhouses, each arriving with a car park that has never been set out.

What your quote is built from
Pricing is on quote. Nobody can put a sensible number on a car park before walking it, so the quote comes together from what the site visit turns up:
- The area to be marked, and how many bays, lanes or zones the layout needs
- The condition of the surface, and how much preparation it needs
- Whether existing lines have to be removed or covered first
- How complex the layout is, including stencils, hatching, arrows and numbering
- Access, and when the area can be handed over to us
Access moves the number more than people expect. A car park we can have to ourselves on a quiet weekday is a different job from one marked in sections around trading hours.
From the site visit to a marked surface
We work in three stages: design, manufacture and installation.
Design starts on your site. We measure the area, note the surface and the falls, and draw a layout that fits the vehicles and foot traffic you actually have, not a generic grid. Manufacture covers the stencils, numbering and custom markings prepared for that layout. Installation is the day itself: surface preparation, removing or covering the old lines, then application. The crew tells you on the day how long to keep vehicles off while it cures, because that shifts with the paint, the surface and the weather.
Frost, nor’westers, and picking the right day
Christchurch records around 37 screen frosts and 90 ground frosts a year, chiefly between April and October. A frosted or still-damp slab is no surface to lay paint on, and cold concrete holds moisture long after the air feels dry. Winter work still happens. It moves later into the day, once the surface has come up, and we will say so if a booked morning would give you a finish you would not accept.
The nor’wester is the other one to plan around. It comes across the plains warm, dry and gusty, and can send the city above 30°C. Wind turns a clean edge into overspray and skins paint before it has settled, so on a nor’west day we either shelter the work or shift it. Hence the access window rather than a fixed hour.
Marked zones, safety, and where the council comes in
If forklifts and people share a floor, or delivery vehicles reverse across a customer path, the markings are part of how you meet your health and safety duties as a workplace. Walkways, hazard zones and traffic routes are among the cheapest controls you can put on a site.
Markings in the road corridor, on a public street or across a vehicle crossing sit with Christchurch City Council, so check with the council before the layout is fixed and we will mark to what they allow. Inside your own boundary, the layout is yours to decide.

Wonderful to work with and helping us get our line marking completed. Would definitely use again and refer to others.
Highly Recommend Group 1 Linemarking!
We recently hired Group 1 Linemarking for a few of our residential strata projects, and the results exceeded our expectations. The team was punctual, professional, and clearly experienced. The line marking was crisp, precise, and done exactly to spec. Communication throughout the process was smooth, and they were flexible with scheduling, which made things a lot easier on our end. If you need reliable, high-quality line marking services, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Group 1. Great job!
Working with Syd and his team is always a pleasure
The quality of work is always to a high standard. The Group One team is always professional, they apply a high standard for safety ensuring their SWMS is tailored for the job and their equipment is serviced and well maintained. I highly recommend Group One and if you use them you won’t be disappointed.

Questions we get asked
Do you only work in Christchurch?
The base is here, but the crews cover Amberley in the north down to Timaru in the south, and west towards the Canterbury foothills.
Can you take old lines off before you re-mark?
Yes. Removal and surface preparation are part of installation, and both are priced once we have seen how the old paint has worn.
How soon can we use the bays again?
The crew gives you a time on the day. A June afternoon behaves differently from a February one.
Can you mark disabled bays and loading zones?
Yes. Dimensions and placement are what make them usable, so we set them out at the design stage with the rest of the layout.
What does line marking cost in Christchurch?
It is quoted per site. Area, surface condition, prep, layout complexity and access all move the figure, which is why the visit comes before the number.
