While Suffolk Tennis Courts takes the very best of care at all times, we cannot be held responsible for damage caused to underground services. These must be clearly marked and brought to our attention prior to commencement of work.
New Builds, Re-Constructions and Re-Surfaces: We will not be held accountable for the growth of weeds/and or moss on the surface of the court after eight weeks from the date of any work being carried out. Weed and moss control are part of the owner’s maintenance responsibility, please ask for a copy of our maintenance manual for further guidance.
All work carried out is weather permitting, while we aim to carry out all work under the best conditions possible this may mean work is postponed at short notice. Suffolk Tennis Courts will not be held responsible for moss and weed treatments and inhibitors not working due to weather conditions.
Owing to the unpredictability of the British weather we cannot guarantee our weed and moss treatments working for a prolonged period. Further treatments will be needed to control weed and moss growth.
Re-Surfacing and Re-Construction: When resurfacing a court, we always weed kill prior to the laying of the new surface but with the existing surface underneath you are more perceptible to weeds which will require constant maintenance from the court owner and we will not be responsible for weed growth. We are happy to offer an aftercare service.
We will not be held accountable for root damage, intrusion of roots onto the court, bump or lumps that may appear following a re-surface/re-construct as we have not dug out/laid the existing base/original surface. We will also not be responsible for issues with the sub-base, ground movement, subsidence.
We cannot be held responsible for Iron Pyrites as these are a naturally occurring mineral.
In the unlikely event that unstable ground (existing surface) is found, extra charges may occur to eradicate.

Making Good: Upon completion of work, all our debris, excess materials and building equipment will be removed and all temporary areas made good, as reasonably practical, but no turfing is included. Drives and/or roads for delivery materials and equipment up to the tennis court or temporary storage area are assumed to be suitable for lorry traffic. We do not accept responsibility for any damage to roads used for construction access unless we have been notified in writing about the unsuitability prior to the commencement of work.
Due to changes in the economic climate we may have to increase our prices or there may be additional charges for materials and machinery following acceptance of quotation.
