Wetpour Rubber & Bonded Rubber Mulch

About this installation

Affordable, attractive and safety conscious, rubber surfacing for playgrounds is time and again the best option. Continuous Wetpour Rubber Crumb is a popular safety surfacing as it provides many years of low maintenance use, along with a contemporary and colourful appearance.

Its finished appearance is likened to tarmac but it is formed from either black or coloured rubber granules mixed with a specialist binder. Our team of wet pour rubber crumb installers has remained unchanged for over 10 years, giving our customers confidence that our expertise in the field of laying this type of rubber safety surface is second to none.

We work to European standards EN1176 and EN1177.

Sportsafe undertake complete groundworks, excavating and laying appropriate drainage materials before installing the base and top rubber surfaces if necessary. We install new surfaces and can also overlay new rubber over old rubber wet pour or tiled surfaces.

We work to European standards EN1176 and EN1177 which recommend the thickness of surface needed. The thickness of rubber ranges from 20mm to 90mm and is dependent on the critical fall height of the play equipment.

Brighten up your play area!

The predominant colour laid is black as it is the most moderately priced, but green and red are within most budgets and are often chosen to cheer up and brighten a shady play area. Most other colours are also available.

We use only the best quality raw materials and alongside our installation expertise, this gives our customers the satisfying knowledge that they are receiving a quality safety surface, from which they will have trouble-free use for many years.

Rubber Mulch Surfacing – Upminster

Branfil Primary School desperately needed to find a surfacing solution to replace their existing carpet which sat underneath a trim-trail. The trail was unusable following a safety issue, causing the carpet to be taken over by a severe moss infestation.

That same experience and knowledge was reflected all the way through the contract and we were very happy with both the result and the working practices. As can be seen, the transformation is fantastic.

His level of experience and his advice over the years is commendable. He really takes pride in his job and treats my school like his own. A massive credit to Sportsafe and a really nice guy to have around the school.
    Livingstone Primary School
  • I just wanted to say a massive thank you once again for accommodating us with the re-attendance of an engineer. Aaron was very helpful, providing advice and support – something I greatly appreciated, especially as I am new to the role. Therefore, could I kindly request that while I am the Site Manager at Boston High School and where Aaron’s availability allows, he be our preferred engineer to attend moving forward? He is a credit to the company and a thoroughly decent chap.

He was extremely professional, courteous and thorough, and happy to discuss in detail the recommendations he would be making and explaining the reasons for these. This was much appreciated. Thank you.
