Synsport
Synsport supplies & installs synthetic surfaces nationally for both sports & home use.
Maintaining a synthetic (artificial) sports field is essential to ensure player safety, consistent performance and long-term cost efficiency. While synthetic surfaces are often marketed as “low maintenance,” they are not maintenance free. This is why maintenance matters and what we can offer to ensure your facility performs optimally for years to come:
1. Player Safety
Poorly maintained synthetic fields can become:
▪️Too hard (increased risk of concussions and joint injuries)
▪️Uneven (trip hazards)
▪️Contaminated (bacteria, mold, or debris)
✅Regular maintenance keeps infill levels correct, fibers upright, and the surface compliant with safety standards such as shock absorption and traction.
2. Performance and Playability
Maintenance ensures consistent:
▪️Ball roll and bounce
▪️Foot traction and rotational resistance
▪️Surface speed and response
❌Without upkeep, infill compacts, fibers flatten, and play characteristics deteriorate—affecting athletes and competitions.
3. Longevity and Asset Protection
Synthetic fields represent a major capital investment. Proper maintenance:
▪️Slows fiber wear
▪️Prevents infill migration
▪️Avoids premature seam and backing failure
✅A well-maintained field can last 10–12 years or more, while a neglected one may fail in half that time.
4. Compliance With Standards and Warranties
Many governing bodies and manufacturers require ongoing maintenance to:
▪️Maintain certification (e.g., FIFA Quality, World Rugby, FIH)
▪️Keep warranties valid
❌Failure to maintain the field may void warranties or disqualify the pitch for sanctioned play.
5. Hygiene and Environmental Control
Synthetic fields accumulate
▪️Organic debris (leaves, skin cells)
▪️Bacteria and sweat
▪️Rubber dust and pollutants
✅Routine cleaning reduces odors, bacteria (such as MRSA concerns), and migration of microplastics into surrounding environments.
At Synsport we have a dedicated maintenance division using the most advanced equipment to ensure your facility looks great & performs optimally.
