Construction
A Complete End-to-End Build Process
Our construction service is built around careful planning, proven methods, and attention to detail at every stage. We work closely with clients to assess site conditions, plan groundworks correctly, and deliver installations that meet official standards and commercial expectations.
With access to premium courts from British and Spanish suppliers, Padel Craft combines quality manufacturing with UK-based installation and project support. We coordinate supply, delivery, and construction around your chosen court and site requirements.
Our Process
Site Survey
Every project begins with a detailed site survey to assess access, ground conditions, levels, and drainage. This allows us to plan the installation accurately and identify any constraints early.
Groundworks
Groundworks are tailored to the site and may include fixing to an existing slab, installing a reinforced concrete ring beam, or completing full ground preparation. This ensures a stable, level foundation built for long-term performance.
Court Delivery
We coordinate delivery with our British and Spanish suppliers, using the most suitable transport method for your site access and location. Delivery schedules are agreed around your chosen court and installation programme.
Installation
Installation begins with precise court marking, anchoring base plates, and erecting the steel structure. Glass panels, fencing, and lighting systems are fitted during this stage where included.
Handover
The playing surface is installed, jointed, and infilled with silica sand to achieve the correct bounce and grip. The court is then inspected and handed over ready for play.
Construction FAQ's
Our construction FAQs address the key considerations when installing a padel court, from planning and groundworks to timelines and on-site requirements. Clear, practical guidance to help you understand the process.
Do I need planning permission to install a padel court in the UK?
Planning requirements vary depending on location, usage, and whether the court is indoor or outdoor. We recommend checking with your local authority, and we’re happy to provide guidance during the early planning stages.
How long does it take to install a padel court?
Timelines depend on your chosen court, supplier lead times, site conditions, and the groundworks required. We’ll agree a delivery and installation programme for your project, with installation scheduled once the foundations are ready.
What ground preparation is required for a padel court?
A padel court requires a stable, level foundation. This may involve fixing to an existing concrete slab, installing a reinforced concrete ring beam, or completing full groundworks on a new site.
Can padel courts be installed on existing tennis courts?
Yes, in many cases existing tennis courts can be adapted, subject to condition, levels, and structural suitability. A site survey is required to confirm feasibility.
Do you manage the full construction process?
Yes. Padel Craft provides a complete end-to-end service, managing survey, groundworks, delivery, installation, and final handover through a single point of contact.
