— Inspection & maintenance across Tyne and Wear
Sport, fitness and play equipment support across Tyne and Wear
Sportsafe supports schools, councils, leisure operators and community organisations across Tyne and Wear, covering Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead, North Tyneside and South Tyneside. We inspect and maintain sports hall equipment, gym flooring, fitness suites, playgrounds, MUGAs, outdoor gyms and play area surfacing.
Coastal sites here take a beating. Salt air and driving wind speed up corrosion on outdoor steelwork, fixings and play equipment, and damage often starts at the base of posts and anchor points where nobody is looking. Sites along the Tyne, at Whitley Bay, Tynemouth and South Shields need checking with that in mind, and a scheduled inspection is a far cheaper way to find it than a failure mid-term.

— Common questions
Tyne and Wear inspection & maintenance FAQs
Does coastal weather affect outdoor play and sports equipment in the North East?
Yes. Salt air and exposure speed up corrosion on posts, fixings and anchor points, and it usually starts at ground level where it is hardest to spot. Coastal sites at Whitley Bay, Tynemouth and South Shields benefit from being checked with that specifically in mind.
Do you inspect school playgrounds in Newcastle and Sunderland?
Yes. We inspect playgrounds, play equipment and safety surfacing for schools, nurseries and community sites across Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead and both Tyneside boroughs.
Can you support North East councils with public play areas?
Yes. We work with local authority teams on inspection, servicing, repairs and maintenance for public play areas, outdoor gyms and sports facilities, including sites spread across a whole borough.
Do you cover Northumberland and County Durham as well?
Yes. Our coverage extends beyond Tyne and Wear into Northumberland, County Durham and Teesside, and nearby sites can be grouped into the same visit.
Which Tyne and Wear areas do you cover?
We cover the whole county, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, Gateshead, South Shields, North Shields, Washington, Whitley Bay and Jarrow, plus the wider North East.
