Maintenance of padel courts
Padel Court Maintenance, Maximum Lifespan and Optimal Playing Quality
Proper maintenance is the key to safety, consistent playing conditions, and lower costs. We combine daily and weekly routines with periodic major maintenance to keep your courts in top condition year-round, in line with best practices for artificial turf, glass, and steel structures, including drainage and fastening inspections.
Our Recommendations:
Keep the court clean and level every day, remove debris with suitable cleaning agents, distribute sand evenly for a consistent surface, brush and check seams and net tension weekly, and inspect glass, fencing, bolts, and lighting monthly. Perform periodic deep cleaning of the artificial turf fibers and refill infill sand when needed. This approach supports playing quality and reduces wear and compaction of the top layer.

Maintenance Options
Major Maintenance – What It Includes
Deep cleaning of the artificial turf using professional equipment, removal of organic contamination and ball fibers, leveling and refilling infill sand if necessary, inspection of water permeability and sand accumulation along edges, checking cage structure and fastenings, adjusting net height and tension, followed by a final visual inspection and reporting. Cleaning windows and removing racket marks are not included in this package.
Artificial Turf, Maintenance and Replacement
The artificial turf determines the playing experience; infill sand keeps fibers in good shape and ensures grip and bounce. Regular brushing, leveling, and timely refilling help maintain consistent properties. When signs such as bare or dark patches appear, fibers no longer stand upright, or drainage decreases, replacement is the safest and most cost-effective choice. Typical lifespan is four to seven years, depending on usage and maintenance discipline.
Do It Yourself or Outsource?
Many daily and weekly tasks can be done in-house, such as brushing, sand leveling, light cleaning, and visual checks. For periodic deep cleaning, inspections, and refilling sand, we recommend professional support in accordance with sports federation and maintenance specialist guidelines.
Price Indication for Major Maintenance
For transparency, we provide a guideline: prices depend on the number of courts, location, and mat condition, generally between €500 and €700 per court per service. Prices exclude VAT, window cleaning, and removal of racket marks. Scheduling multiple maintenance sessions per year is often more efficient—industry experience shows that periodic maintenance extends overall lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does your major maintenance service include?
Deep cleaning of artificial turf including removal of organic debris and ball fibers, leveling and refilling infill sand if required, checking drainage and sand buildup along edges, inspection of cage structure and fastenings, adjusting net height and tension, and a final inspection with detailed notes. Window cleaning and removal of racket marks are not included. This is in line with standard maintenance packages in the market.
What is the indicative price per court for major maintenance?
We typically charge between €500 and €700 per court per service, depending on number of courts, location, and mat condition. Prices exclude VAT, glass cleaning, and racket mark removal. Spreading maintenance evenly throughout the year extends the court’s lifespan and minimizes disruptions.
How often do you recommend major maintenance, and what should be done in between?
Plan major maintenance annually, or twice a year for intensive use. Between sessions, clubs should perform daily and weekly maintenance such as brushing, leveling sand, and light cleaning. This follows best practices for artificial turf and structural maintenance.
Is there a difference between indoor and outdoor maintenance?
Yes. Outdoor courts require more attention to drainage, organic debris, and seasonal effects, while indoor courts focus more on dust removal, humidity levels, and structural inspections. Both follow similar schedules for brushing, sand management, and construction checks.
When should the infill sand be topped up, and by how much?
When dark or bare spots appear or fibers no longer stand upright, refill and level the surface. Typical reference values are around 12 kilograms per square meter, depending on the type of mat and frequency of use. This supports consistent bounce and traction.
Does insufficient maintenance affect warranty or playing safety?
Yes. Poor maintenance can reduce playing safety and, in some cases, affect warranty conditions. Following the maintenance plan and keeping a maintenance logbook is therefore essential.
Can you also advise on turf replacement?
Absolutely. We assess wear, drainage capacity, and fiber condition, and we advise on turf type, infill sand, and optimization options. Typical replacement intervals are between four and seven years, depending on use and maintenance.
How quickly can you schedule maintenance, and what do you need from us?
Scheduling is done in consultation, depending on the number of courts and location. We require access times, power supply, and storage availability for materials. A brief intake helps ensure smooth service, which is standard practice for professional maintenance providers.
