Sports Court Cleaning

Hard sports court surfaces accumulate grime, mould, and algae over time — particularly in shaded areas that don’t receive strong direct sunlight. Left untreated, biological growth makes courts slippery and dangerous for players, and accelerates surface deterioration.

Unlike soft surfaces, hard courts can withstand pressure washing — but pressure and technique still need to be carefully controlled to avoid damaging court coatings, surface texture, and line markings.

Our technicians assess the court surface and soiling before work begins, selecting the right pressure, temperature, and cleaning solutions to restore the surface without causing damage.

How We Clean Sports Courts

Our surface restoration vehicles arrive fully equipped with hot water pressure cleaning systems, specialist cleaning formulations, and wastewater recovery equipment — self-contained and ready to work without relying on your facilities.

Where biological growth is established, a specialist cleaning solution is applied and left to dwell before pressure washing — breaking down mould and algae at the source for a more thorough and longer-lasting result. Hot water is used where soiling requires it, with pressure carefully calibrated to suit the specific court surface and coating.

All wastewater is captured on site and prevented from entering stormwater drains — compliant with environmental regulations on every job.

Sports Courts We Clean

  • Tennis courts
  • Basketball courts
  • Netball courts
  • Volleyball courts
  • Multi-sport courts
  • School and community recreation courts

The Primary Concern

Mould and algae on hard court surfaces create significant slip hazards — particularly on courts that see regular competitive or recreational play. For sporting clubs, schools, and facility managers, a slip and fall incident on a poorly maintained court carries serious liability implications.

Regular cleaning eliminates these hazards and demonstrates active maintenance of the facility — an important consideration for risk management, insurance purposes, and the safety of players and visitors.

What to Expect on Every Job

  • On-site assessment before work begins — surface type and soiling identified, approach confirmed
  • Hot water pressure washing with pressure calibrated to the court surface and coating
  • Specialist pre-treatment for established mould and algae growth where required
  • Waste water is captured as required — no runoff into stormwater drains
  • Risk report provided before work begins
  • $20 million public liability insurance on every job
  • ISO-audited operations — Quality (ISO 9001), OH&S (ISO 45001), Environmental (ISO 14001)

Scheduled Maintenance for Sporting Facilities

For sporting complexes managing multiple courts or surfaces, scheduled cleaning as part of a maintenance agreement is the most practical and cost-effective approach.

Regular cleaning prevents heavy soiling build-up, keeps courts consistently safe and presentable, and extends the life of court surfaces and coatings.
