Your One-Stop-Shop for Residential Playgrounds
As a full-service playground equipment supplier and outdoor fitness equipment supplier, we handle design, supply, playground installation and aftercare in-house. That means one supplier, one point of contact and one team accountable for delivering your play area on time, on budget and fully compliant with BS EN 1176 and BS EN 1177.
How We Bring Your Development to Life
From first site visit to long-term aftercare, our four-step process keeps your project simple, transparent and on programme.
Free Site Consultation
Every scheme starts with a conversation. One of our construction specialists visits your site at a time that suits your programme, completely free of charge. We review your planning conditions, the play area requirements attached to your permission, available space, ground conditions and budget, so the design is right for the development and its residents from the outset.

Bespoke 3D Design
Our in-house designers turn your brief into detailed 3D visuals and a scaled site plan, so you and your planners can see exactly how the space will work before groundworks begin. We balance play value, safety zones, surfacing, sightlines and budget, and design to satisfy your LAP, LEAP or NEAP obligations. We refine the design with you until it is exactly right and ready to discharge planning conditions.

Expert Installation
Our directly employed, DBS-checked installation teams fit your play area around your build programme, coordinating with your site management and other trades. Every installation is completed to BS EN 1176, on time and to specification, with the site left clean, safe and ready for handover.
Aftercare →
Aftercare & Maintenance
We do not disappear once the space is handed over. We provide annual RPII inspections, servicing and repairs to keep equipment safe and compliant, whether the area is adopted by the local authority, managed by a maintenance company or retained by a residents' association. This protects your investment and reputation long after the last home is sold.

Outdoor Gyms, Playgrounds and Safety Surfacing for Housing Developments
Everything below is designed, supplied and installed in-house to the highest safety standards. Explore the categories most popular with housing developers.
Playground Equipment
Climbing frames, trim trails, swings, slides and springers for every age group on the development. Well-chosen residential outdoor playground equipment gives families a reason to move in and stay, and helps you meet the play value your planning conditions demand. A quality play area is one of the first things prospective buyers notice on a new scheme.
Multiplay Units
Tower-and-deck systems that combine climbing, sliding and imaginative play in one compact footprint. For housing developers working to tight LEAP or NEAP space standards, multiplay units deliver maximum play value per square metre, making them an efficient centrepiece for communal areas where land is at a premium.
Outdoor Gym Equipment
Purpose-built outdoor fitness stations that keep teenagers and adults active alongside the children’s play area. Adding an outdoor gym broadens the appeal of a development beyond young families, supports resident wellbeing and helps satisfy NEAP requirements, which call for provision for older children and youths, not just toddlers.
MUGAs
All-weather multi-use games areas with sports markings, fencing and goal ends. A MUGA gives older children and teenagers a dedicated space for football, basketball and other sports, which is exactly the kind of youth provision larger schemes and NEAP obligations require. Durable and low-maintenance, they add a genuine amenity that sets a development apart.
Skate Park Equipment
Durable ramps and features for wheeled-sports zones. On larger developments, skate equipment provides teenagers with a positive, active place of their own, reducing anti-social behaviour and answering the older-user provision expected within NEAP play areas. It is a standout amenity that marks a scheme as genuinely family-focused.
Outdoor Shelters & Furniture
Shelters, benches, picnic tables and bins that turn open ground into a place people want to spend time. Thoughtful residential furniture creates natural meeting points, encourages neighbours to connect and gives the finished development a considered, cared-for feel that supports both sales and community.
Safety Surfacing
Wet pour, rubber mulch, artificial grass and resin-bound surfacing that meets BS EN 1177 impact standards. The right surfacing keeps play areas safe, accessible and low-maintenance in communal settings, drains well through wet British winters and holds its appearance for years, protecting the look of the scheme long after completion.
Case Studies
See how we have delivered play and community spaces for housing developers and contractors across the UK.
Get Funding
Section 106 agreements and the Community Infrastructure Levy are the most common routes, with developer contributions ring-fenced for open space and play provision as a condition of planning. Beyond these, local authority open-space grants, National Lottery Community Fund and Sport England funding, and partnership contributions from parish or town councils who will adopt the space can all reduce your outlay. Our team will help you understand what is available and build a costed proposal to back your application.
The Benefits of Playgrounds and Outdoor Gyms
Investing in quality outdoor play and fitness spaces pays back across the whole development, for residents and for you.
More Active Residents
Playgrounds and outdoor gyms give children and adults an easy, free reason to be active close to home. Regular physical activity supports fitness, motor skills and long-term health for users of every age.
Better Child Development
Climbing, swinging, balancing and imaginative play build strength, coordination, confidence and social skills. A varied play area supports children through every stage, from toddlers to teenagers.
Stronger Communities
Shared play areas and seating give neighbours natural places to meet, so families put down roots faster. A well-used communal space turns a collection of houses into a genuine community.
Higher Property Appeal
A thoughtfully designed play area is a visible selling point that helps homes move faster and command their price. Buyers with families actively seek out developments with safe, attractive outdoor space.
Improved Wellbeing
Green, active outdoor spaces reduce stress and give teenagers a positive place of their own, which helps reduce anti-social behaviour. Overlooked, well-lit play areas make a development feel safer and more cared for.
