Creativity.  Performance.  Safety.

The Education market is undergoing a green revolution and reducing the environmental impact of the Sports hall is a major challenge. Wooden sports floors should be periodically recoated and court lines remarked using waterborne materials. Vinyl, PU and linoleum sports floors can be recoated with Creativity using new colours and designs. 

Sports halls can be carefully refurbished, with a limited budget, to use energy better and improve sports floor Performance rather than new build. Lengthening the service lifetime of floors and sports halls before being disposed of is an effective solution in achieving reduced impact on climate change and improved resource use.

Sports halls may well be undersized compared to Sport England latest guidelines but Safety can be improved by installing Softwall anti-shock wall panels to give >50% impact reduction.

    " Biddle sports this Easter 2021 refurbished our sports hall floor at Bredon School. The floor was originally installed by Biddle Sports 20 years ago. True testament to the quality of products used and attention to detail and workmanship during the installation. This is the first maintenance work undertaken on the floor. Mark and Rosie re-welded the seams and re-lined the games on the floor. It looks fantastic they have done a great job. So as an Estates Manager who works with contractors on a daily basis. I would like to say that working with Biddle Sports to get the specification correct was a pleasure they are knowledgeable, passionate and honest. Costings and designs were returned back at lightning speed. Method statements and risk assessments were all sent prior to the start date. Meticulous throughout the whole process. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone in the market for a sports hall floor or seeking an expert to bring an old floor back to life."

    "We were extremely happy with the recent resurfacing of our sports hall by Biddle Sport. From the initial planning stages to the installation, Biddle Sports were consistently personable, professional and conscientious. They clearly have a passion of the work they do, and this shines through in their work. Biddle Sport was a pleasure to have on site, and i will be recommending them in the future"

    "Our University has had the pleasure of working with Biddle for the last 12 years. We have had sanding, sealing and court marking and subsequent resealing - the results have been outstanding as they are very much perfectionists. This company is honest, forthright, professional and efficient in their conduct and I would highly recommend them to anyone."

    "We were very pleased with the results when Biddle Sport came to deep clean our PU floor. The floor was extremely dirty and the equipment and products used did the trick and we now have our blue floor back. Diligent, efficient, great advice and most importantly friendly. Value for money and would definitely recommend."

    "The flooring system you installed at Bishop Walsh Catholic School has transformed the whole look of the facility. The building that was nearly 25 years old now looks brand new and has had a positive effect on the users of this school facility. For the pupils of the school it has had a positive effect on their behaviour and attitude to look after the facility. To the outside hirers of the school they have done nothing but praise the work that you have done. I am sure this will increase the popularity of the hire of the facility over the next 12 months. I wish you a positive future ahead and I will have no problems recommending you to other establishments."

    "Having used Biddle Sport previously to mark out the lines on our re-laid floor in our sports hall I thought I'd give them a go at their deep clean service. The service provided was excellent and result was fantastic. The floor came up like new. A job that in house took a couple of days to do was done in half a day which saved both time and money. All in all I'd recommend Biddle Sport and will definitely be using them again."

    "Biddle Sport was so fast in setting out and marking the badminton courts at Loughborough University. They clearly know what they are doing when it comes to marking Taraflex sports floors and do so with much precision and care. Courtmarkings are the finishing touch to any sports floor and when done this way give a great impression to the client."

    Sarah Metcalfe, Regional Sports Manager, Gerflor

    "Biddle recently remarked the sports hall floor including the new FIBA 2012 basketball markings. The work was carried out on a Friday, leaving the weekend for the lines to cure. Staff and pupils commented that it was like coming into a new sports hall on Monday morning. The product has turned out to be first class and the prices charged substantially less than most other competitors. We even managed to attract a good discount by having the work completed during term time. I have no hesitation in recommending Biddle to any school, college or university that needs new line markings."

    "Colston's School have recently refurbished their sports hall and with a limited budget, so it was important to ensure every detail was correct to ensure the hall would be fit for purpose for another 25 years. A key part of the refurbishment was the installation of the Softwall panels as the hall is not big enough to have a full run off area for netball and other sports. The Softwall panels placed on the concrete block walls would enable senior netball to take place inside the hall for the first time due to its 50% shock absorbency. At the start of the project, Rosie came to the school to talk through what we required and what other works we were undertaking in order to ensure the Softwall was compatible with these works and that the smallest detail was accounted for, such as the installation of new doors or fire alarm call points. Mark and Rosie visited the school a number of times, often leasing directly with the principal contractor which resulted in a seamless installation. The school are really pleased with the Softwall and would not hesitate to recommend them and their products to other schools."

    "We have used Biddle Sport to paint the court markings onto the new sports floors we install for the last 20 years and have been very pleased with the professional service they offer. This year we installed Taraflex sports flooring at Wendover House School and Magdalen College and once more employed the services of Biddle Sport. In both instances, Biddle Sport met us and the Client on site, gave up-to-date advice and information in accordance with 'Sport England' recommendations for lines and layout. They prepared the court layout drawing in full colour and detail for the school's agreement and subsequent retention, which was very useful and greatly appreciated by our respective Clients. The planning of the chosen court lines in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations on to the newly laid floors was done with precision and care. Mark and Rosalien, their two Directors, work exceptionally well together and handle everything from start to finish diligently. The application is carried out when agreed and always very quickly and efficiently. They have never let us down and that's why i have not found the need to trust anyone else with marking our sports floors. Sports Flooring is generally very expensive and we cannot afford mistakes at the end with the line marking. It is a very specialised job and they do it with great sill and experience. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them and their services to anyone who needs a quality job done competitively and efficiently."

    The floor looks great, a big thank you from all of us here at Friar Park Millennium Centre. The court markings are amazing and bright and thank you for the good job of cleaning it.

    The small sportshall looks fantastic. It really does look like a new floor had been laid. The process of arranging the sanding, sealing and court marking of the sportshall floor was smooth and without problems. The planning went well with very good communication. Biddle Sport provided detailed prospective drawings, prior to commencement for us to approve. We were operating to a tight deadline, but Biddle Sport were very flexible and agreed to perform the works on a weekend to ensure that the flooring was ready for the start of term. The markings are perfect for what we use, including unfamiliar line markings, such as Boccia and Kurling. The floor now looks brand new and we couldn't be happier with it.

    Superb work from the team at Biddle Sport from start to finish. Bringing a new lease of life to a decidedly tired looking floor.

    I'd just like to say a massive thank you for the superb line marking work you did for us at Frederick Bremmer School in Walthamstow. If anything else comes up, I will most definitely pass it your way. Give my thanks to the rest of your team too.

    We contacted Biddle Sport as i knew from colleagues and industry reputation that they were the best at what they do. Our floor WAS an amazing asset for the school and had an excellent standing locally for school and community usage - that sadly was left to decline (budget pressure, lack of knowledge, holiday use etc). I was determined to bring that floor back to life - in step Mark and his amazing team - two weeks, a 6-yard skip later and the School once again HAS a hall to be proud of, show off and full active use for visiting schools and the community! Thank you Mark.
