//Why you should budget for the long-term maintenance of your surface

Just as you might have a ‘sinking fund’ in place to finance the eventual replacement of your synthetic sports pitch, it is important to put funds aside for the on-going maintenance of your existing surface.

 Your budget should reflect the age of your facility and may need to be increased as the surface becomes older, if the correct care hasn’t already been afforded to the pitch.

Technical Surfaces offers our clients the option to fix contracts over a longer period – up to 5 years – to help them budget effectively, and our MatchFit_® maintenance packages offer a choice of maintenance frequencies, reflecting your individual budgets and requirements. We can also produce a budgetary forecast of maintenance costs over a five or ten year period, to allow you to plan ahead.

Even with regular care and attention, the effects of age and usage do eventually catch up with a facility, and at this point resurfacing may appear to be the only solution. However, the cost of resurfacing can prove too prohibitive and not necessary, and it can often be successfully deferred with a deep-cleaning Rejeneration_® undertaken by Technical Surfaces instead. This process can add a further five years to the life of your facility, with significant implications for the continued revenue this will generate.

Did you know that a Standing Order can also be arranged for the duration of your maintenance contract? This allows you to pay in monthly instalments, to spread the cost and help you to budget effectively for the on-going maintenance of your surface.
