— Inspection & maintenance across Scotland
Sport, fitness and play equipment support across Scotland
Sportsafe has worked on sites across Scotland for years, from schools and community facilities in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Fife to projects in Falkirk, the Lothians, Ayrshire, Aberdeenshire and as far north as Inverness. We inspect and maintain sports hall equipment, gym flooring, fitness suites, playgrounds, MUGAs, outdoor gyms and play area surfacing for schools, local authorities, clubs and community organisations.
Two things make Scotland different in practice. The school year does not match England, with the summer break starting and ending several weeks earlier, so the window for holiday work sits in a different place and needs booking to the Scottish calendar. And distances in the Highlands and the north east are significant, which makes grouping sites into planned visits far more sensible than arranging them one at a time.

• Fitness suites & gym equipment

— Common questions
Scottish inspection & maintenance FAQs
Do you work with Scottish local authorities?
Yes. We work with councils across Scotland on inspection, servicing, repairs and maintenance for school equipment, public play areas, outdoor gyms and sports facilities, including authorities with sites spread over a wide area.
Do you plan work around the Scottish school year?
Yes. The Scottish school year does not line up with England, and the summer break starts and finishes several weeks earlier. We book inspection and remedial work against the Scottish calendar rather than the English one.
Do you cover the Highlands and the north of Scotland?
Yes. We have completed projects in Inverness, Aberdeenshire, Moray and across the north, and group sites into planned visits so that distance does not make a programme unaffordable.
What equipment do you inspect in Scottish schools?
We cover fixed and portable PE equipment, basketball goals, division nets and curtains, gym flooring, fitness suites, playgrounds, trim trails, MUGAs and play area surfacing.
Which parts of Scotland do you cover?
We cover the whole country, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Stirling, Perth, Falkirk, Fife, the Lothians, Lanarkshire and Ayrshire.
