The DP World London Gateway is a globally connected hub, boasting the UK’s most advanced deep seaport and most integrated logistics centre.

The world’s largest package delivery company, UPS, are building a new 32,000 square metre sorting and delivery facility at London Gateway. This makes it one of their largest infrastructure investments outside the US. Following completion, this facility will be able to process an incredible 30,000 packages every hour.

Riggotts were subcontracted by returning clients Buckingham Group Contracting to carry out the lining work. Using a single pack epoxy for durability, we marked out disabled logos, arrows, give way markings and lettering. Riggotts covered a total of 8,000 metres of lining – that’s almost 5 miles! Wherever in the world packages arrive from or go to, staff can get from A to B efficiently and safely.

We are proud to have been able to provide our skills for this project, so should you need an experienced team of line marking professionals for any job, look no further than Riggott & Co Ltd.

The Nestlé name is no stranger to UK households: this Swiss transnational food and beverage company is the largest food company in the world. Nestlé products are synonymous with all things sweet and delicious, as they manufacture goods ranging from confectionery, breakfast cereals, coffee, snacks, ice cream and more. Nestlé brands include Nespresso, Nescafé, Kit Kat and Smarties.

Nestlé has over 400 factories operating in 194 different countries; in the UK and Ireland alone, they have 21 sites. The Nestlé site in Halifax is currently home to the production of Quality Street, After Eight and Easter eggs, and employs up to 1,000 staff at peak times. In October 2015, Nestlé announced a £5.25m investment in the Halifax location to start making peanut butter cups for American export, which created 45 new jobs. This expansion prompted a visit from Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, who was “delighted” that the Halifax site won this major new investment.

Riggotts have just completed a significant lining job at the Halifax site’s car park and outdoor areas. To improve safety on a growing site, returning clients John Radcliffe & Sons Ltd subcontracted Riggotts knowing that the team’s attention to detail would produce second to none results. After prepping the surface by burning off existing markings, the team lined over 2000m of thermoplastic lines and painted zebra crossings, 54 pedestrian logos and lettering.

The Riggotts team didn’t let the sweet smells coming from the factory distract them – completing the job quickly and efficiently, we’re proud to have finished another job for John Radcliffe & Sons Ltd at a company as respected as Nestlé!

Long-standing client Asda returned to Riggotts for repairs and relining at their Glasshoughton superstore. The full car park reline, with 5000 metres of single line, included arrows, give way markings, special needs bays, pedestrian crossings, lettering and more. Yet our experienced team carefully planned and carried out the work to ensure the minimum of disruption to shoppers and store colleagues.
Now Asda can be confident that the store car park meets the highest Health & Safety standards, and shoppers can pick up their cornflakes or complete the weekly shop more easily and safely.

Almost every day, the crews at Riggotts carry out car park line markings somewhere in the UK – gathering experience and finishing the all line markings to the highest standards.

Our line marking specialists deliver expert car park line marking, creating bays and roadways for customers to navigate safely when manoeuvring around a car park – further mitigating the risk of accident or collision.

While most car parks can be similar, our teams are experienced in creating car parks that stand out from the crowd, using various colours and techniques to attract the eye.

The most recent example of a “stand out from the crowd” car park carried out by our crews was a car park in the North East. In total the team carried out eight 4m double head arrows, 80no 4m double head arrows, two speed hump triangles, 133no 600×100 give way pads, 329no 600×200 give way pads, 30no give way triangles, 53no 1200mm numbers/letters, over 2900m2 of various coloured solid MMA, over 140m2 of solid pedestrian pads, over 16,000m of lining including hatching, 41no disabled bays, 33no parent and child bays, 48no 100×100 thermoplastic dots, 18no EV bays. All work was carried out in thermoplastic and MMA.

When first time Richard Roller, Chairman and Founder of Powervamp Ltd, asked Riggotts to carry out work at a Methodist Church car park in Sandford at short notice, we sprung into action and planned the most effective route to get the job done on time and within budget.

We were lucky enough to have a Riggotts crew already on standby in the area, reducing the clients wait time for the urgent works.

The job consisted of seven numbers, 45 metres of white lining and 15 metres of yellow hatching – more clearly marking out where the parking bays are and outlining where vehicles should not be parked.

At Riggotts we strive toward the best possible customer service and quality of work. That’s why when a client takes the time to let us know how pleased they are we take note – here’s what Roller had to say about the work:

“I write to say how pleased I am with the excellent work carried out by the Riggotts team today.

“The guys arrived at the chapel car park when we were told they would, understood the brief exactly and carried out the marking work in an amazing way with skill and precision.

As the saying goes, quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.”

Our 42 crews work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No matter what your business, we’ll work with you to determine the most convenient time for works so that you’re back up and running in no time. For more information on what we can do for you call us today on 0800 848841.

Lincoln is undergoing an ambitious regeneration, including a £30m transport hub for the city centre developed by Wilmott Dixon. This includes a large multi-storey car park, which has been completed ahead of schedule. These new timings meant that the car park opening could coincide with the Christmas light switch on.

The weather was not on our side. Bad fog throughout the week resulted in dew on the surface. This made progress painfully slow, as we always complete any job to the highest standards. Our determined team adapted to the challenges and the car park opened on time. The client was over the moon to hand over on schedule, and hundreds of happy people were able to leave their vehicles in the clearly marked car park spaces as they went off to enjoy Lincoln’s festive lights.
