Improve safety in your playground
We have useful guides to help you determine if there are potential problems with your playground surfacing or playground equipment that should be examined further. For any help and advice please contact Redlynch Leisure by our contact form, email ([email protected]) or telephone (01249 444 537).
We hope to demonstrate that there are a number of quick and easy ways you can improve safety in your playground in a cost effective manner.
Restore a tired playground
We can frequently restore a tired playground into great condition by our thorough surface cleaning service. We can also fix high wear or worn out areas of safer surfaces with matching patches. Of course we cannot restore every playground surface…
but we can fix problems like slipperiness or frequent water-logging.

Things to look out for
- Playgrounds should be inspected regularly on a systematic basis (e.g. weekly or monthly) and every year there should be a professional independent safety inspection
- A very high proportion of accidents happen due to tripping or slipping on uneven surfaces. Make sure you check the approaches to the playground as well as things like the edging around a safer surface
- Swing seats should be secure, check metal equipment for rust problem you will hear a hissing sound as rust falls down inside the tube

Victoria Thomas, Parish Clerk, Boldre Parish CouncilBPC found Redlynch to be extremely approachable, professional and flexible throughout the whole process. And in comparison to other vendors, BPC's view was that they were able to offer considerable "playability" from their range at good value.
BPC would not hesitate to recommend Redlynch.
Kelly SilverwoodI just wanted to take a moment to thank you for organizing the resurfacing of the Starling play area. The team of Gio and Ionut, who were led by Jon Sparks were highly professional at all times. They adapted and accommodated the changing need of the site and the pupils to work efficiently and safely whilst with us. I would be glad if you could pass on my feedback and thanks to the Redlynch team.
