Technical Surfaces offer clients a complete service; from safety inspections and ad-hoc repairs through to maintenance contracts, renovations and supplying equipment tailored to artificial surfaces, essentially affording customers peace of mind on a national scale from their Leicestershire base.
One such client to benefit from this ‘holistic’ approach to pitch maintenance is Finsbury Leisure Centre in North London. The recent replacement of the Weldmesh fencing surrounding the two five-a-side football pitches has capped a busy year for maintenance at the centre, whose three 3rd Generation rubber-crumb surfaces have benefitted from regular Power Sweeps by Technical Surfaces’ since 2006.
As well as the continued quarterly maintenance contract, the pitches each gained from a deep-cleaning Revite along with full-length seam replacements to help return playing performance to the high standards that the centre demands and to which users have become accustomed. And it’s not just the players who are pleased with the outcome:
“We use Technical Surfaces for a wide range of services related to our artificial pitch,” explains General Manager, Linda Handley. “From the regular maintenance contract and repairs to the supply of goals and even the recent fencing works which have all really improved the facility as a whole. We are very pleased with the level of work carried out by Technical Surfaces and it’s reassuring to know that any issue regarding the pitch is readily available by making one easy phone call.”

To help customers extract the maximum life and playability from their synthetic turf surfaces, Southwest Greens’ installations incorporate a shock-absorbing underlay to help minimise compaction. A further measure, employed primarily by Southwest Greens on high footfall projects, is the use of graded sands, carefully layered within the profile to absorb downward forces without compacting.
“While synthetic turf is proving an excellent low wear, low maintenance asset at many golf clubs, the material cannot be simply installed and forgotten” says Warren Bailey of specialist supplier and installer, Southwest Greens UK.
“A minimum level of care is essential if synthetic turf surfaces are to remain playing and looking at their best,” he points out. “This is particularly important for tees, practice ranges and greens which have a high footfall or are located close to trees, fields and planted borders. A further factor dictating maintenance routines is whether a sand filler has been used to pack out the fibres.”
“Greenkeepers regularly aerate and scarify natural turf to combat the effects of compaction caused primarily by golfers’ feet,”continued Warren . “Although synthetic turf offers far greater durability than grass, over time it can become similarly compacted, affecting drainage, the run of the ball and ability to accept shots.”
“Although Southwest Greens’ surfaces may cost a little more initially than the competition, our customers tell us that the long-term benefits far outweigh the outlay in terms of longevity, consistency and the natural way in which the surface reacts and responds to a golf ball.”
