Our Services
Inspection Services
Routine visual inspections help spot obvious hazards caused by vandalism or wear and tear.
Operational inspections are more detailed, checking the safety and stability of the equipment. These should be carried out regularly (every 1 to 3 months) as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Annual inspections are comprehensive, focusing on foundations, surfaces (e.g. ensuring compliance with EN 1176), and any previous repairs or maintenance.
Planned Maintenance
Maintenance of all playground equipment is essential. The European Standard for Playground Safety BS EN 1176 states that:
“Equipment and its components should be inspected and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions at a frequency not less than that given by the manufacturer” and also “If serious defects that might put safety at risk are discovered during inspection, these should be corrected without delay.” Regular servicing and replacement of worn parts is essential to keep your play area safe and compliant.
Repairs and Refurbishments
Rather than stripping away your old playground and starting from scratch, why not repair your existing site? If there is still life left in your existing playground, regardless of manufacturer, our experienced team can assess, quote and repair, saving you time and money whilst providing a sustainable solution.
Our playground installers are more than happy to come an reinstall some vital equipment if necessary.
