Playground Markings in Ely
Yes, Uniplay installs playground markings across Ely and the surrounding Fens, north of Cambridge. Ely is a small cathedral city that serves a wide, low-lying rural catchment, so as well as the city's own schools we cover many village primaries out across the Fenland parishes. Those open, exposed sites take a lot of weather, which is one reason schools here favour hard-wearing thermoplastic, and every scheme comes with a free design and survey.

Playground markings in Ely
Local markings for Ely schools and play areas
Do you install playground markings in Ely?
We cover Ely and the Fenland villages around it as standard. The city is a hub for a scattered rural area, so we are used to reaching small Fen schools set well apart as well as the larger primaries in Ely itself. We plan visits across the district to keep travel efficient and the install quick, usually a single day on site with little interruption to lessons.
Are thermoplastic markings a good choice for exposed Fenland yards?
Thermoplastic markings suit exposed Fenland playgrounds well because they are anti-slip, weatherproof and hot-applied so they bond into the tarmac. Around Ely the yards are often open and take the full brunt of wind and rain, and there ordinary paint fades and lifts far sooner. Thermoplastic keeps its colour and grip through years of everyday play, which makes it the sensible choice for most schools here, though we will advise honestly where a lighter painted refresh will do.
How much do playground markings cost in Ely?
Cost depends on scope, from a single graphic to a whole-playground scheme. As a guide, individual markings start from around £50 to £300, and a typical primary-school package is often in the low thousands, but the figure depends on the number of designs, the area, thermoplastic versus paint, the surface and access. We give a free design and a fixed quote before anything is booked, so an Ely school knows the full cost up front.

Playground markings in Ely: your questions
How much do playground markings cost in Ely?
Individual markings typically start from around £50 to £300, and a full primary-school package is often in the low thousands, though the real figure depends on the number of designs, the area, thermoplastic versus paint, the surface and access. Every Ely school gets a free design and a fixed quote first.
How long does installation take?
Most Ely installs are completed in a single day, with larger schemes sometimes taking a little longer. We plan around your timetable to keep disruption low, and thermoplastic needs only a short cure before pupils can use the markings.
Do you cover nearby Cambridgeshire towns?
Yes. As well as Ely we install across Cambridgeshire, including Cottenham, Histon and Huntingdon, and further afield in Peterborough, Newmarket and Cambridge itself. If your school is in the county, we can reach you.
