Tennis court pressure cleaning
« on: February 28, 2010, 12:23:45 am »
Hi guys
Does anyone do tennis court pressure cleaning? Friend of mine is manager in one tennis club and i was thinking of offering him this service.
Is that done same way as driveway/patio cleaning and what is the average cost?

thanks

I charge between £250 and £400 per court depending on the surface, condition and level of soiling.

Thank Andy

Is that done just by using pressure washer and flat rotary surface cleaner?

Turbo nozzle but you need to be extremely careful not to damage the tarmac.

That sounds a bit cheap. Size of tennis court is 11x24= 264 sq metre. How long does it take you to do it

Thanks

the problem with tennis courts is the moss is in patches usually.

im always worried the custy wont pay for a full court clean. but if you just clean the moss off in patches it can look patchy as some areas are clean and others dirty.

i measured a court today it was 533 sq m. so really it should be £800 @ £1.50 a sq metre.

Can you get an all weather bowling green back too good nick with just water or do you need to apply chemicals first(Moss treatment etc).It hasn`t been used for years and looks brown instead of green but is stiil nice and flat and smooth.

if you clear patches on a tenniscourt and then stand right back and look at it it looks bad .everyone can see it.

if you now what you are doing with a tenniscourt they arent that bad to clean.

ive got the best lta painter for painting courts i clean he paints them.
