Playground Markings in Gorgie
Yes, we install playground markings across Gorgie and Edinburgh's inner west. Gorgie is a densely populated tenement district, so its primaries and nurseries mostly work with compact, hard-surfaced yards set among the surrounding flats. Smart zoning and bright, durable markings help a tight inner-city playground support active play and the curriculum right through the school day.

Playground markings in Gorgie
Local markings for Gorgie schools and play areas
Do you install playground markings in Gorgie?
We install throughout Gorgie and the neighbouring inner-west districts of Edinburgh with our own teams. Because Gorgie schools tend to sit on small, built-up sites, we begin with a free site survey to map the yard and fit the most useful markings to the space. We plan around the school day to keep the playground open, and can reach nearby city schools on the same visits.
What markings work best on Gorgie's compact tenement yards?
Zoned, multi-use markings work best where space is tight, which describes most of Gorgie's tenement-era primary sites. On a single tarmac surface we layer a quiet number grid and alphabet trail at one end, active or target games in the middle, and a court where there is room. Thermoplastic is our usual recommendation because it is hot-applied, anti-slip and stands up to constant footfall and damp east-coast winters, so a small yard keeps doing several jobs at once.
Do you provide sensory and SEND markings for Gorgie schools?
We design sensory and SEND markings for special schools and mainstream primaries with support provision around Gorgie. Calming trails, sensory circuits, Simon Says routes and feelings zones give pupils a predictable, low-stimulation way around the yard. We talk the specific needs through with your staff first, because you know your pupils and we know how to turn that into markings that are clear, gentle and safe underfoot.

Playground markings in Gorgie: your questions
How much do playground markings cost in Gorgie?
Projects range from a single graphic to a whole-playground scheme. As a guide, individual markings start from around £50 to £300, and a typical primary package is often in the low thousands, but it depends on the number of designs, the area, thermoplastic versus paint, the surface and access. Every Gorgie school gets a free design and a fixed quote first.
How long does installation take?
Most single-yard primary schemes are done in a day. We prep the surface, apply hot-applied thermoplastic and it cures quickly, so disruption stays low. Larger multi-zone or MUGA projects are staged over a little longer, and we can work weekends or the holidays where that suits your yard.
Which nearby areas do you cover?
Alongside Gorgie we install across Edinburgh, including Corstorphine, Morningside and Leith, and out to Livingston, Dunfermline and Musselburgh. Ask us and we will confirm cover and arrange a free survey.
