What People Say About Sport & Play
‘We are increasingly reliant on Sport & Play to deliver our maintenance needs and their wide ranging expertise means that they can meet all of our requirements, including even highly specialised work such as this floor refurbishment. As ever, the quality of their work is first class and was carried out quickly and efficiently with a minimum of disruption to the centre users.’
When Sport & Play came in to quote for this project, I was especially impressed with how knowledgeable they were and the hints and tips they were happy to give. They were very flexible in their approach and nothing proved a problem for them.
We are very pleased with the floor lines and will happily use Sport & Play’s services again in the future.
Sport and Play have provided us with an excellent service, undertaking both the design and installation of our improved indoor play area.
