Construction
Survey
We carry out a detailed site survey to assess access, ground conditions, levels, and drainage, ensuring we plan every aspect of the installation accurately.
Groundworks
Depending on the site, we either fix the court to an existing concrete slab, install a reinforced concrete ring beam on a former tennis court, or complete full groundwork preparation including excavation, drainage, sub-base, and concrete slab construction on a greenfield site
Court Delivery
The court is delivered using the most suitable transport method based on site access and location.
Installation
Once on site, our team begins installation by marking out the court area, anchoring the base plates, erecting the steel structure, fitting the glass panels, and installing mesh fencing. Electrical connections for lighting (if included) are completed during this phase.
Turf Installation
High-quality artificial turf is rolled out ensuring the in-built lines carefully positioned, it's then joined, and glued into place. Specific silica sand infill is applied to stabilize the surface and to create the perfect bounce all to meet official padel court regulations, leaving the court match-ready.
