New Courts Built
From bare ground to a regulation surface with correct drainage, cure schedule, and line marking.
What Goes Wrong
A court built without a drainage slope assessment pools water after rain, softening the sub-base and cracking the slab within a few seasons.
A base-condition assessment maps natural slope and runoff before excavation depth or sub-base spec is decided.
Applying acrylic before the slab reaches its full cure interval traps moisture, causing the coating to bubble, peel, and lose adhesion within a year.
The written estimate states the slab cure interval; no acrylic layer is applied until that schedule is met and documented.
Sub-base material dumped and compacted in a single pass leaves voids that shift under load, producing an uneven surface and early cracking.
Each sub-base layer is compacted and checked for density before the next is added, removing voids before the slab is poured.
Lines applied without regulation dimensions mean the court cannot be used for organised play and must be stripped and repainted at extra cost.
Line marking is applied after the topcoat cures, using the agreed sport’s official dimensions, then verified in the final walkthrough.
Why Choose Us
Every enquiry follows the same accountable process, assessment, written estimate, and a final walkthrough before sign-off.
A local court builder visits the site first. No estimate is written until base condition and drainage are checked in person.
Every cost is broken down by material and stage, excavation, sub-base, slab spec, acrylic coats, and line marking listed separately.
The estimate states the slab cure schedule and acrylic layer count so you know exactly what is planned before work begins.
Lines, surface texture, drainage slope, and anchor positions are all checked at handover, nothing is signed off until each item passes.
Work is only scheduled after you have reviewed and accepted the written estimate, no surprise charges or scope changes after the fact.
The Process
01
Tell us your site address, intended sport, and any known ground conditions so we can match you with a local court builder.
02
A local builder visits, checks base condition and drainage, then provides an itemised written estimate covering every stage and material.
03
The court is built to spec, the slab cures on schedule, and a final walkthrough confirms lines, anchors, and surface finish before handover.
