A sports hall inspection is the only reliable way to know what condition your floor is really in. Wear hides in plain sight: a seal can look intact while it fails underfoot, moisture can build beneath boards for months before anything shows, and markings drift out of regulation without anyone noticing. Our inspections catch all of it early, while the fix is still small and inexpensive.
We check the surface, seal condition, boards and sub-floor signs, moisture readings and markings, and we can add a pendulum slip resistance test for a documented safety record. You get a plain-English report with honest recommendations, from immediate repairs to a sensible maintenance plan. Established 1987, covering the whole of the UK.
Damages rarely occur in well installed and properly maintained floors. However, when they do, we provide expert solutions to return your sports flooring to proper working order. With regular inspections, damages are rectified before they develop, thus furthering the lifespan of your flooring. Our specialist team is adept at fixing any issues that appear for wood, vinyl, PU, and lino floors. Whether you require routine cleaning or believe a fault has appeared, our in-depth inspections allow us to identify the issues early, and keep your floors in excellent condition.
Health and safety regulations are constantly evolving, so we offer maintenance services that not only improve the aesthetic of your sports hall, but also keep in line with all new directives and legislations. Per recent legislation, slip resistance testing is now required by law. We provide comprehensive pendulum slip resistance tests, the only HSE recognised proof of traction. This means that both players are less likely to experience injury, and, if one does occur, you are legally protected. Our team will also provide in depth risk assessments for your floor on request.
An inspection is not a glance across the hall. We check the condition of the seal and whether it has broken through, the boards themselves and how much depth remains for future sanding, signs of sub-floor movement or failure such as dead spots and squeaking, moisture readings in and beneath the floor, the accuracy and legibility of court markings against current specifications, and the state of entrance zones where slip risk is highest.
You get a plain-English written report setting out what is fine, what needs attention now and what can reasonably wait, with indicative costs so you can plan a budget rather than react to a crisis.
Almost every expensive floor failure we attend was inexpensive at some earlier point. A seal that has broken through costs a recoat today and a full sand in two years. A slow leak caught early is a board repair; ignored, it is a section replacement. Markings that have drifted out of specification are a re-line during the next reseal, or a standalone job if nobody notices until a fixture is challenged.
An annual inspection, ideally paired with a slip test and a deep clean in one visit, is the cheapest insurance available on a floor worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Sports flooring requires light cleaning, such as sweeping and mopping, at least weekly to avoid dust and sweat build up damaging its seal and finish. Depending on the material it’s made from, though, more intensive cleaning varies. Contact us today for guidance on the proper maintenance of your sports flooring.
It’s recommended that your sports floors are inspected every 12–18 months. It is also a legal requirement for public sports facilities to have their floors slip tested annually.
Of course, we offer comprehensive refurbishments for a range of courts and sports flooring, with a selection of materials to choose from.
Annually for most facilities, and always after any water ingress or if users start reporting the surface feels different. Pairing the inspection with a deep clean and slip test in a single visit keeps the cost down and the paperwork current.
Yes, in plain English rather than jargon: what is sound, what needs attention now, what can wait, and indicative costs for each. It is designed to be usable as budget evidence and to sit on file as part of your duty-of-care record.
