We can help from conception to Completion with annual maintenance inspections as well (see below). ANNUAL MAINTENANCE VISITS Once installed, an artificial pitch can provide an excellent surface for sport if it is maintained correctly. There will become a point when the surface needs replacing and a fund needs to be put aside to pay for this expensive undertaking. Our annual report will allow you to plan for this with a far greater degree of fact and will guide you how to extend the life of the surface whilst in situ. This yearly visit and written report would provide you with information on:- General site conditions. Maintenance programmes and equipment. Repairs to the facility if needed. Seam and carpet quality. Pile depth and infill. Playing conditions and performance quality. Avoiding litigation and accidents. All for a fixed competitive fee.
