Inhouse Maintenance and Cleaning Near Me

In-house maintenance could also include a simple drag mat or drag brush procedure which is basically distributing the sand infill on top of the artificial carpet and this is needed in making sure no moss or algae can start to grow on the surfacing. Moss and algae treatment is needed to the perimeter of the FIH Pitches especially when there are surrounding trees because if weeds can start to grow contamination will quickly get onto the artificial grass and cause drainage issues and possibly flooding. Make sure you fill in our enquiry box with your details if you want to talk about the costs of our sand-dressed pitch cleaning services.

Maintenance to Sand Based Synthetic Hockey Surfaces

Hockey sand-based synthetic turfs near me used to be known as maintenance free and this is definitely not the case when making certain your sand-dressed pitches are kept in pristine condition because lack of upkeep causes many problems with the main issues generally being:

  • Drainage Problems - Holding Water, Puddling, Non-Porous, Waterlogged, Flooding

  • Contamination - Moss and Algae, Weed Growth, Dirt, Dust, Algal Squidge

  • Slippery - Synthetic Turf becomes slippy like an ice rink, Dangerous, Hazardous

  • Synthetic Carpet Damage - Artificial Fibres and Yarns split and become damaged

  • Compaction - Hard Underfoot and starts to play like being on concrete

These issues above are all problems which occur when the artificial FIH pitches are badly maintained over long periods of time. A professional sand-dressed surface upkeep program should be set out with an external professional sports contractor to complete this work. This is because specialised artificial grass preservation machinery and equipment are used in making sure the infill is cleaned and distributed which resolves the majority of issues on artificial surfaces. We can carry out professional preservation services in Oxfordshire OX14 3 and surrounding areas, to keep your sand-dressed facility performing well and looking like new.

A sand-dressed pitch is an artificial turf surfacing used for sports like hockey. 2G sand-dressed pitches have a shorter pile height when compared to sand-filled surfacing. The reason why sand-dressed surfacing is great for sports is that it allows the ball to roll smoothly. This type of surfacing can also be used for other sports as part of a multi-use games area, as it has great performance characteristics.
