You have a newly sealed car park with nothing on it yet, and no one has decided where a vehicle should stop. That is how a good share of our Rolleston work begins. Group One New Zealand installs car park wheel stops out through Selwyn from its base on Foremans Road in Islington, Christchurch, and Sydney Chappell founded the New Zealand company in 2026. On bare seal the set-out matters more than the product: get the bay depth and the overhang right the first time and nobody lives with a compromise for the life of the car park. Send us the address and a bay count and we will come out and measure it.
What a car park wheel stop is
A wheel stop is the low barrier fixed across the head of a parking bay. A vehicle rolls forward, the front tyres meet it, and the vehicle stops before the bumper reaches the wall, the footpath, the planter or the bay opposite. You will also see them called car stops, parking blocks or parking bay stops. They are nothing to do with vehicle wheels, tyres, rims, castors or wheel alignment, so if you have landed here after a tyre or alignment search, this is the car park version. Everything below is about wheel stops for car parks.

New bays at iZONE, Faringdon and the retail edges
Most of Rolleston went up recently. The bulk of the town’s housing was built between 2010 and 2019 and it keeps going out through Acland Park and Faringdon, while iZONE Southern Business Hub, the largest business park in the country, keeps adding warehouse and yard frontage. A lot of that parking is being defined for the first time.
What that means on the ground:
- Staff and visitor bays on a warehouse forecourt, set out before the first vehicle uses them
- Stops at the head of bays that back onto a building frontage, roller door or service run
- Mobility bays laid out with the transfer space kept clear
- Retail and hospitality parking where the bay depth is tight and every stop has to be square to the line
- Fleet and light-commercial bays, where the overhang is longer than a car’s
Buying the stop is the easy half. A supplier ships it to your gate on a pallet. Deciding where it lands relative to your bay line, your kerb and your walkway, then fixing it into your surface so it stays there, is work done on site with a tape measure and a drill.
What we quote against
Pricing is on quote, always. Nobody can put a number on a car park they have not walked. The quote is built from:
- The number of bays and the length of stop each one needs
- The stop type: rubber, recycled plastic or precast concrete
- Whether the bays are already marked out or need setting out from scratch
- Surface type and condition, and the fixing method it will hold
- Access, and how much of the car park we can have at once
Call or email with the site address and we will arrange a visit and put it in writing.
Overhang, walkways, falls, and what the anchor goes into
Set-out is measurement, not habit. We work back from the bay line, allow for how far the nose of a vehicle hangs past its front wheels, and check what sits behind the stop. If it is a footpath, the stop moves forward so nobody is stepping around a bumper. If it is a wall or a door, the clearance has to suit the vehicles that park there rather than the ones parked there today. We also keep stops out of the surface falls and drainage channels, because a stop sitting across a channel dams water and the water finds the fixing.
The fixing is what usually fails, not the stop. Sound concrete takes a mechanical anchor and keeps hold of it. Asphalt is softer, moves with heat and takes a spike or a longer anchor set into stable material beneath. On a fresh subdivision car park we would rather come in once the sealing contractor is finished and the final layout is settled, so the stops go down into a surface that is done rather than one still being worked. We will tell you where that sits in your programme when we see the site.
Frosts and nor’westers on the plains
Inland Selwyn runs cold in winter with frequent overnight frosts, and a frosted surface is a poor one to drill and set anchors into. Installs shift later into the day rather than being cancelled. Summer brings the other extreme: hot, dry north-westerlies coming down off the Southern Alps, which soften asphalt and skin any adhesive component of a fixing before it has properly taken. On a hard nor’west day we work early or reschedule. Either way, a stop set into a surface that was too cold or too hot is a stop that comes loose in a year.

Great job and no complaints!
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.
Selwyn District Council, the town centre, and your safety duties
Inside your own boundary the parking layout is yours to decide. Where a car park meets the road corridor, a public footpath or a vehicle crossing, check the position with Selwyn District Council before anything is fixed down. The Council is currently consulting on the roading and parking layout for the new Rolleston town centre, so anyone with frontage there has a reason to confirm before committing hardware to a surface.
For a workplace, controlled parking geometry is part of keeping vehicles and people apart. Bays that hold their line, stops that keep bumpers off a walkway, and mobility bays that stay usable all sit inside your health and safety duties as the business in charge of the site.
Group One New Zealand on the Selwyn run
Selwyn is the fastest-changing part of the area we cover, so a Rolleston visit sits on a route we already run rather than being a special trip out of town. Group One New Zealand was founded by Sydney Chappell in 2026. We guarantee all the work we do, and we are a small team, so you know you’ll get the very best. Crews come out from Islington in Christchurch. In the company’s own words: “Although Group 1 Line Marking has just started here in New Zealand, as a group we have been operating in Australia for almost 25 years.” Full details of what we supply and install sit on our page.

Questions we get asked about wheel stops
What do wheel stops actually do?
They set the limit of a vehicle’s travel into a bay. That protects whatever is behind the bay, keeps bumpers off a pedestrian route, and stops one vehicle creeping into the space opposite.
What size are wheel stops in New Zealand?
The lengths commonly sold here suit a standard-width bay, with shorter units used where a stop only has to catch one wheel or protect a single structure. Rather than assume, we measure your marked bay width and the vehicles using it, then specify the length off that.
How much does it cost to install wheel stops?
It is quoted per site after a visit. Bay count, stop type, surface condition, fixing method and access all move the figure, so a number given over the phone would be a guess.
What can I use as a wheel stopper instead?
People try timber, sleepers and leftover concrete. The problem is not the material, it is that an unfixed object slides under a tyre and becomes a trip hazard for anyone walking through the car park. A stop earns its keep by staying exactly where it was set.
We are still building. When should the stops go in?
Once the sealing is finished and the final bay layout is settled. On a new Rolleston site we would rather set out once, properly, than fix twice.
