At Synthetic Turf Management (STM), we deliver expert wet pour rubber cleaning and maintenance services to schools, nurseries, local authorities, and facility managers across the UK. Our work helps keep play surfaces clean, safe, and fully functional — extending their life and ensuring they meet safety standards year-round.
Whether you're managing a school playground, community park, or early years setting, STM provides the reliable support you need to maintain your wet pour surfacing to the highest standard.
Over time, wet pour playground surfaces can accumulate moss, algae, dirt, and organic debris — particularly in shaded or high-traffic areas. If left untreated, this buildup can make the surface discoloured, unsightly, and dangerously slippery.
Regular cleaning of wetpour surfacing helps to:
Improve slip resistance and surface safety
Enhance the appearance of the play area
Prevent deterioration of the surface structure
Maintain compliance with health and safety regulations
Proper maintenance is especially important in public and educational settings, where child safety and surface performance are essential.
STM offers a complete range of wet pour cleaning and maintenance services, tailored to your site and surface condition. Our in-house team uses specialist low-pressure equipment and environmentally safe treatments to clean thoroughly without damaging the surface.
Our services include:
Initial site assessment to determine surface condition and cleaning needs
Low-pressure jet washing using equipment calibrated to clean effectively while protecting the rubber
Removal of algae, moss, and fungal buildup, reducing slip hazards and extending surface lifespan
Optional services such as line re-marking or minor patch repairs to restore the playground’s functionality and visual appeal
We work on wetpour surfaces in a range of settings, including:
Primary school playgrounds
Nurseries and early years settings
SEN facilities
Public parks and play areas
Community sports and recreation zones
Whether you need a one-time clean or scheduled maintenance, we’ve got the expertise and equipment to deliver.
We typically recommend cleaning wet pour rubber surfaces once or twice a year, depending on environmental and usage factors.
Key considerations include:
Volume of foot traffic (e.g. busy school playgrounds vs. quiet community parks)
Proximity to trees or vegetation, which increases the likelihood of moss, leaf litter, and algae growth
Drainage and surface conditions, which impact how moisture accumulates or evaporates
STM offers bespoke maintenance schedules, ensuring your wet pour remains clean, compliant, and low-risk all year round.
With over 20 years’ experience, STM is trusted by schools, local councils, contractors, and private facilities across the UK to deliver safe, effective cleaning of wet pour and synthetic surfacing.
