Increase your surface lifespan

Correct maintenance procedures will extend the life of your playing surface. An annual or bi annual professional maintenance visit can extend the life or your court by up to 30%. It also provides the perfect opportunity to inspect the surface for any surface or drainage issues. Chemical treatments and carpet repairs are integrated into all our maintenance packages.

Fully Accredited Surface Testing

We ensure that all our work is tested and certified by an Official UKAS ISO 17025 accredited testing house. An official accredited testing house will visit your site after we have completed our maintenance visits, in order to certify your pitch/court is in line with governing body requirements and a full test report will be issued accordingly. This service is included in all our maintenance packages.
