See plans and what each includes →Twice a year as a minimum on synthetic grass. Quarterly on shaded courts or those used several times a week. Acrylic hardcourts can run on a six-monthly cadence with an annual deep clean. Estate courts with multiple surfaces are usually on bespoke schedules between four and twelve visits per year.
Thirty minutes on site. We photograph and assess seven areas: surface integrity, infill depth, biology, drainage, hardware (nets, posts, winders), fencing and surrounds, and line marking. A written condition report is delivered by email within 48 hours. No follow-up sales call unless you ask for one.
Book an inspection →Yes. Our process uses dry materials where possible, with limited targeted wet treatment. The surface is back to playing condition within 30 minutes in summer and 90 minutes in winter from the time we leave site.

Yes. We publish a real, anonymised example so you can see exactly what arrives in your inbox after every visit. Seven assessment areas, each photographed and annotated, with recommendations split into needed now, optional, and not needed.
