— Inspection & maintenance across Devon
Sport, fitness and play equipment support across Devon
Devon is one of the largest counties in England and one of the most spread out. Alongside the city sites in Exeter, Plymouth and Torbay there are hundreds of small primaries, village halls and parish recreation grounds scattered across Dartmoor, the north coast and the South Hams. Sportsafe covers all of it, working on sports halls, PE equipment, playgrounds, MUGAs and outdoor play areas.
Small rural sites are the ones most often left out of an inspection programme, usually because a single visit to one village school looks expensive on its own. Grouping several nearby sites into one trip changes that maths completely, and it is how we make a county-wide programme workable in Devon. Federations, dioceses and parish councils with a handful of sites each benefit most from this.
• School sports halls
• PE & gymnasium equipment
• Fitness suites & gym equipment
• Outdoor gyms
• Play areas & playgrounds
• MUGAs & outdoor courts
• Goals, posts & sports systems
• Leisure centre equipment
• Community sports facilities
• Public sector sport & play spaces

— Common questions
Devon inspection & maintenance FAQs
Is an inspection worth it for a small village school in Devon?
Yes, and it does not have to be expensive. A single visit to one rural site carries a lot of travel cost, so we group nearby schools into the same trip. Federations, dioceses and parish councils with several sites usually see the biggest saving.
Do you cover north Devon and the more remote areas?
Yes. We cover the whole county, including Barnstaple, Bideford, Okehampton, Tavistock and the Dartmoor and South Hams areas, not only the cities.
Do you inspect parish recreation grounds and village play areas?
Yes. We work with parish and town councils on inspection, servicing, repairs and maintenance for play areas, outdoor gyms and recreation grounds.
Can you inspect schools in Exeter, Plymouth and Torbay?
Yes. We support city schools, academy trusts and council sites across Exeter, Plymouth and Torbay with indoor and outdoor equipment inspection, servicing and repairs.
Which Devon areas do you cover?
We cover the whole county, including Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Paignton, Newton Abbot, Barnstaple, Exmouth and Tiverton, along with the surrounding parts of the South West.
