Tennis Court Cleaning In Melbourne

Court cleaning is quoted on the surface area, the surface type and the condition. A single full-size court is a large area of hard surface in its own right, and multi-court school or club facilities scale from there. Synthetic grass takes longer than acrylic because the sand infill has to be checked, redistributed and topped up after cleaning. Condition is the biggest variable, since a court cleaned every couple of years is a straightforward treat-and-rinse pass while one left a decade under trees needs heavy treatment and much longer dwell. Fencing, surrounds and net posts are quoted as listed extras. Send photos to 0430 392 100.

Not when the pressure is right and the infill is looked after, which is exactly where inexperienced operators cause damage. Synthetic grass is cleaned at low to moderate pressure with the lance kept moving at a controlled distance, so contamination lifts out of the pile without stripping the sand infill or fraying the fibre tips. Too much pressure blows the sand out and leaves the court playing badly and wearing faster; too little leaves the crusted, contaminated sand in place and achieves nothing. After the clean the infill is checked, redistributed and topped up where it is short. That final step is included in how we work rather than sold as an extra afterthought.

Every one to two years suits most courts across Melbourne's south east, and shade decides where in that range yours sits. A court with a treed fence line, a southern aspect or overhanging canopy stays damp long after rain and will grow algae and moss considerably faster than one in open sun. Club and school courts with heavy use often need annual attention simply from traffic and organic debris. The practical signal is grip rather than colour: when the surface starts feeling slippery underfoot after rain, algae has colonised it and it is due. Waiting until drainage fails makes the eventual clean much more expensive.

Yes, where the court needs it, and it is treated as part of doing the job properly rather than an optional add-on. Cleaning a synthetic grass court inevitably lifts some sand infill along with the contamination, and courts that were already short of infill before we arrived, which is most neglected ones, need topping up regardless. Sand sitting at the right depth between the fibres is what gives the court its ball bounce, its footing and its fibre support, so a court left short plays poorly and wears out faster. The infill is redistributed evenly and topped up by volume, quoted as a materials item so you can see what it costs.

Yes, and it is worth including because the surrounds usually look worse than the court once the court is clean. That covers the chain wire or mesh fencing, which collects grime, cobwebs and wind-blown debris along its whole run, the concrete or paved apron around the playing surface, net posts, seating, shade structures and any pavilion or shed frontage. Fencing is cleaned at a pressure appropriate to the coating so galvanising and powder-coating are not stripped. These are quoted as listed extras rather than assumed, so you can pick what you want done. Mention it when you call 0430 392 100.

Yes. School and club court work is a natural fit for how we operate, because it is scheduled, repeatable and quoted against a written scope. Multi-court facilities are quoted per court with the surrounds and fencing listed separately, and work is generally scheduled outside term time or outside the playing season so courts are not out of action when they are needed. Access, keys, site induction requirements and any documentation your facility needs are worked out before the booking rather than on the morning. Annual or biennial programmes are the sensible arrangement for most facilities, since courts left to deteriorate cost far more to bring back. Call 0430 392 100.
