UKPadel founders, Neil Percival and Nick Baker recognised that Padel had the potential to become the UK’s biggest new fitness trend. In 2021 they breathed new life into old tennis courts when they set up two new padel courts in High Wycombe, and today are continuing to expand and promote padel in the UK.
Slatter Sports Maintenance were impressed by the team’s enthusiasm and drive and therefore very pleased to provide maintenance services.
The club has a cohesive blueprint for technology driven clubs: book your court online, get a passcode for the gates, pick up your free to borrow rackets from the court store and get playing padel in a seamless experience from booking to walking on court.
With this approach to padel court management, scheduled maintenance also needed to be factored into the equation to ensure that the courts were regularly serviced and ready for play.
As a highly experienced artificial sports surface maintenance provider, Slatter was the ideal candidate to take care of ukPadel’s facilities. We agreed an ongoing programme of cleaning, repair and surface inspections. Slatter are happy to visit and oversee the maintenance providing status reports after each visit and identifying any points that might be needing additional work in the future – potential issues like sand hardening or drainage problems, to ensure optimal playing conditions and longevity.
As self-service sites, Slatter provides reliable maintenance services and useful reporting so that UK Padel can be sure that their sites are receiving regular grooming – and be kept up to date about the condition of their courts with proactive pointers to any future additional remedial work.
Danny and the team at Slatter Cricket and Play have been looking after our courts for some time now. They are always quick to respond and extremely reliable, arriving when promised and completing the work in the timeframe suggested. This is particularly important when working at our very busy clubs. They feel like a part of our team already, and I completely trust them to carry out an exceptional standard of work.
