Our services offer transparent, tailored quotes for each project, ensuring high-quality repair solutions that balance safety and budget.

Risks of Delaying Wetpour Repairs

Delaying repairs on wetpour surfaces can lead to risks that compromise the safety of school playgrounds.

When cracks, shrinkage, or uneven areas are ignored, the playground surface becomes less secure for students, increasing the potential for slips and falls. Damaged surfaces also reduce the visual appeal of school grounds and may create liability issues for schools.

Moreover, postponing repairs often results in higher costs later. Small, manageable repairs can grow into larger, more expensive issues over time, impacting budgets.

By proactively repairing wetpour damage, schools extend the life of the surface, ensuring a safer and more visually pleasing play space for students.

Common Causes of Wetpour Damage

Wetpour surfaces face various stress factors, particularly in school playgrounds where surfaces experience constant use. Understanding these causes can help schools adopt effective maintenance strategies to extend the surface lifespan.

• Heavy Foot Traffic: The high frequency of students using playground equipment and running across the surface causes gradual wear, leading to cracks and an uneven texture.

• UV Exposure: Sunlight can cause fading and brittleness in wetpour surfaces over time, impacting the material’s safety and resilience.

• Water Accumulation: Water that pools beneath the surface can weaken layers over time, causing bubbling or lifting.

• Temperature Changes: Hot summers and cold winters cause surface expansion and contraction, which can lead to cracks.

School Playground Surfacing offers repair services that address these issues early on, helping schools keep their playground surfaces safe and durable.

Importance of Wetpour Repairs in School Playgrounds

Regular wetpour repair and maintenance are essential for maintaining a safe playground environment in schools.

Immediate repairs prevent hazards, such as cracks and uneven surfaces, that could lead to accidents during play.

Prioritising these repairs improves the surface’s durability, making it more resilient to environmental stress and reducing the need for larger, costly repairs.

In addition, well-maintained playgrounds enhance the appearance and usability of school facilities. By following industry standards for safety and quality, School Playground Surfacing provides reliable repairs that benefit both students and school staff, creating a safe and attractive space for outdoor activities.

Our Wetpour Repair Process

At School Playground Surfacing, we use high-quality materials and a structured process to ensure durable repairs. Every project receives a customised approach, whether dealing with cracks, shrinkage, or moisture damage.

Step 1: Assessing the Surface

The first step in our repair process is a thorough assessment of the playground surface. Our team inspects for visible cracks, discolouration, and any loose sections.

In addition, we assess factors such as drainage and test the surface hardness to identify any areas that could lead to further damage if left untreated.

Step 2: Preparing the Surface

Effective repairs begin with proper surface preparation. We start by thoroughly cleaning the area to remove dirt, debris, and previous layers that could interfere with the new materials.

Where needed, we use power washing, sanding, or shot-blasting to ensure the area is prepared for strong adhesion.

Step 3: Applying Repair Materials

Our team uses durable EPDM rubber and polyurethane to ensure repairs withstand environmental stress. The materials are applied in layers for a seamless blend with the existing surface.

During this process, we closely monitor environmental conditions to optimise curing for a long-lasting repair.

Step 4: Levelling and Smoothing

After the materials are applied, we use levelling and smoothing techniques to create a flat, even surface that aligns with surrounding areas.

This prevents potential hazards and restores a clean, visually appealing appearance to the playground.

Step 5: Curing for Durability

The final step involves allowing the repaired surface to fully cure, following the recommended timeframe to ensure the new materials achieve maximum durability.

This step guarantees that the surface is safe and reliable, reducing the likelihood of future damage.
