Synthetic sports surfaces need maintenance suited to the way they are built and used. Bourne Sport provides specialist care for 3G pitches, polymeric courts and macadam surfaces, with each programme shaped around the condition of the site. Regular attention can help preserve surface performance and address developing problems before more extensive repairs are required.
Regular brushing redistributes the infill across the pitch and helps prevent it from becoming uneven in heavily used areas. It also lifts fibres that have been flattened by play, helping the surface retain a more consistent appearance and playing response.
Deep cleaning lifts the infill from the surface so it can be filtered through specialist equipment. Dirt, broken-down fibres and other debris are removed before the cleaned infill is returned and redistributed across the pitch.
For heavily soiled or neglected pitches, our Extreme Clean service uses specialist counter-rotating brushes to loosen contaminated infill and lift debris from within the surface. The pitch is then deep cleaned so unwanted material can be separated and removed, with the infill returned or replaced where necessary.
Moss and algae can develop on hard courts that remain damp or receive limited sunlight. As the growth spreads, the surface may become slippery and less suitable for play.
Our licensed operatives apply approved treatments selected for the surface and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Regular maintenance can help control regrowth and protect the condition of the court over time.
Splits, tears and failing seams can worsen if they are left untreated. Our experienced team assesses the damage and carries out a repair suited to the surface, helping to prevent further deterioration and reduce disruption to play.
We also offer maintenance packages for schools, clubs and local authorities, making it easier to plan ongoing care and deal with problems before they become more extensive.
Bourne Sport combines practical contracting experience with direct access to specialist sports turf materials through Bourne Amenity. This close working relationship helps us select tested products that suit the surface, the work required and the conditions on site.
Our enhanced DBS-checked team works with schools, clubs and community facilities across the South East. Every project begins with a clear assessment of the site, followed by recommendations shaped around the client’s priorities and available budget.
Many customers return to us for ongoing maintenance and further renovation work. We value those long-term relationships and aim to provide straightforward advice alongside dependable service.
Yes. We regularly work with schools, clubs and organisations that need to deliver improvements within a fixed budget. We’ll discuss your requirements, priorities and available funding, then recommend the most effective work to get the best results from your pitch.
This depends on the type of work carried out. For operations such as Verti-draining or top dressing, the pitch can usually be used straight away. Renovation work that involves renovations or seeding typically requires around 6–8 weeks before play can resume, allowing the grass to establish properly.
If possible, the grass should be cut to around 35mm before we arrive. We’ll also need suitable access for machinery and deliveries, along with a contact on site on the day to assist with access or any questions.
Yes, we can supply irrigation where required. If we feel irrigation would significantly benefit the work we’re carrying out, we may include this as part of our quotation and advise you on the most suitable system.
The duration depends on the type and scale of the work. Some services, such as Verti-draining, overseeding and fertilising, can often be completed in a single day. Larger projects, such as installing primary or secondary drainage systems, may take up to 8 weeks. Every pitch is different, so we recommend arranging a free site visit so we can provide an accurate quotation and timeframe.
