Who Needs EN1177 Playground Surfacing Inspections?

EN1177 playground surfacing inspections are crucial for a wide range of organisations, including:

• Primary and secondary schools – Ensure playground surfacing meets legal safety standards for student protection.
• Public parks and recreation departments – Maintain safe and accessible surfaces in community play areas.
• Housing developers with communal play spaces – Safeguard residents and meet planning and compliance obligations.

How Much Does An EN1177 Playground Surfacing Inspection Cost?

The cost of an EN1177 playground surfacing inspection falls between £300 and £600+, depending on several factors. Playground size and the extent of surfacing areas impact the price, as larger zones require more time to inspect.

The level of inspection detail also affects cost, with full annual EN1177 inspections being more comprehensive and therefore higher in price than basic visual checks.

Additionally, thorough reports including risk ratings and certification of compliance add value but can increase the overall cost.

What Does An EN1177 Playground Surfacing Inspection Cover?

Our EN1177 playground surfacing inspections evaluate the quality and performance of all impact-absorbing surfaces, including wet pour, bark mulch, grass mats, and rubber tiles.

We measure surface depths and check material condition to ensure sufficient impact protection against critical fall heights.

We assess for hazards like worn areas, trip risks, and deterioration that could compromise fall attenuation. Inspections also include verifying fall zones around equipment and ensuring correct surfacing coverage relative to equipment height and layout standards.

Additional checks for drainage, edge containment, and site cleanliness ensure surfacing areas remain safe and effective.

When Should EN1177 Playground Surfacing Inspections Be Carried Out?

EN1177 playground surfacing inspections should be conducted before a new playground is opened to the public, confirming all impact surfaces meet safety standards from the outset.

Annual inspections are recommended to monitor surface wear and impact performance and identify any maintenance needs.

Additional inspections should be scheduled after significant repairs, resurfacing, or modifications to ensure continued compliance with EN1177 requirements.

What Happens After An EN1177 Playground Surfacing Inspection?

After completing an EN1177 playground surfacing inspection, you will receive a detailed report containing photographic evidence of findings and a risk rating (low, medium, or high) for each identified issue.

The report provides practical recommendations for necessary repairs, resurfacing, or corrective actions to restore full safety compliance.

Where the surfacing meets EN1177 standards, we issue an official certificate of compliance. Where improvements are needed, we assist in planning and prioritising maintenance to achieve full compliance efficiently.
