Fowey Primary School Cornwall 2D and 3D wet pour rubber graphicsWindmill, Fowey, PL23 1HH

I am delighted to recommend Terry Warrington and TK Play to anyone looking to refurbish their playground.

Terry and his team completed a large scale project for us earlier this year, replacing an area of outdated and unsafe paving with a new wet-pour surface.

The service we received was excellent throughout, from initial appointment where we came up with ideas through to design and execution. We found Terry and the team easy to work with and very keen to make sure we got the best possible end result. His knowledge in this area meant Terry could make some great suggestions for things we could include in the design to really add value for money and that extra special excitement for the children.

Although TK Play wasn’t the cheapest option for us we wanted to appoint a contractor with whom we could build a relationship and who we were confident would do a great job.

Our new playground is beautiful and is absolutely loved by children and their families alike. Since installing it we have seen a dramatic reduction in first aid incidents and playground fall outs which we put down to the children having so much more space to play and being much more engaged and active at break times.

I would happily recommend Terry and his team to any school and would be very happy to speak to other head teachers, if you need to discuss how we found the experience.

Langtree Sports MUGA near Torrington in North DevonLangtree, Torrington, North Devon, EX38 8RH

TK Play built a Multi Use Games Area for Langtree Parish Council during the Autumn of 2020.

The team at TK Play assisted us through all stages of the design, installation and completion of the MUGA with enthusiasm, flexibility in approach and attention to detail. Their on-site team were particularly competent and hard working and prepared to go the extra mile through an autumn where the weather did everything to frustrate us. The finished site looks excellent and will be an asset to the local community.

Bay View Inn Cornwall pirate shipThe Bay View Inn, Widemouth Bay, Bude

TK Play just installed a pirate ship at our restaurant in Widemouth Bay, Cornwall. From the initial consultation right through to completion the service offered to us was first class, and the standard of work exceptional. If anyone out there running a bar or restaurant is looking for a play area that really stands out from the rest, go no further.

North Tawton MUGA and New play Equipment North Tawton, Devon

Further to a competitive tendering process, TK Play were appointed by NTTC to undertake a comprehensive programme of improvements to play areas in our Memorial Park.

One of the factors that influenced our choice was that TK Play had undertaken installations locally, and we were able to visit and assess the quality of the works. Additionally, the works were part paid by S106 funding, and our local district council like to see employment of local contractors where possible.

TK Play have been working closely with the NTTC for over 12 months, with the works to our park being completed recently. These works included a MUGA, an in-ground trampoline, me-and-you swing, agri-flex paths, and a pump track which was installed in cooperation with a specialist company.

NTTC are very happy with the standard of work. TK Play liaised closely with us throughout the project, via email, phone, and meetings as required. Good communication was crucial, as inevitably there are adaptations and changes as projects progress.

Additionally, Terry Warrington developed a good rapport with users of the park, especially the young people.

We anticipate that we will have further projects in due course, and we would be very happy to employ TK Play to undertake any such works.

Shebbear Little Bears Pre-school surfacingNorth View, Shebbear, EX21 5SG

As we are a Pre School we need a hardwearing, easy to clean and safe outdoor flooring.  We had looked at a few different types of flooring and soon decided that the Wet Pour was the best choice for the Pre School.

As TKPlay is a local company we approached them for a quote for the Wet Pour Flooring as well as a few other companies.

TK Play replied quickly to our email and a visit was booked for TKPlay to come and give us a quote.   Ross from TKPlay came and measured up he answered all our questions and was friendly and helpful.  This was before the summer holidays. During the summer holidays we decided that we were going to go with the TK Play quote. Also During the summer holidays we had had a sandpit installed and a new decking area laid. So we contacted TK Play saying we would like to go with them but could they come and check the measurements as the sandpit and decking were now in place. This was not a problem and Terry came out to check the measurements.

Terry is very down to earth, great to communicate with face to face, on the phone and via email. He came and checked the measurements answered a few more questions we had. The Job was then booked for October half term as this was the next time the Pre School would be closed.  Ross and 2 other men completed the work with Terry over seeing the job. All the work force were polite, easy to talk to and helpful. The work was completed in the time scale we were given and the Pre School was left clean and tidy. We are very pleased with the work completed by TK Play.

The staff, Children and Parents love the new Wet Pour Flooring it is a great colour, we can sweep sand and leaves up off of it and it is safe for the children to play on.  We highly recommend TKPlay and will be dealing with them in the future when we update our climbing frame.

Beaford play spaceGreen Lane, Beaford, Winkleigh, Devon, EX19 8LQ

Terry and his team have installed 3 pieces (so far) on our village green, and from Terry’s first visit through all the site planning, choice of equipment/manufacturer and advice on grant options -everything was first rate. Throughout the build the site was tidied away each day, allowing continual access around the fenced in site.

Too often what you see in the brochure isn’t what you see on site, however Terry’s team install to a very high standard; from the stone in the sub-base to the highest flag, ensuring the image becomes the reality.

The finish and fit, from the safety surface to the reinstatement of surrounding turf, was seamless and this high standard and zero requirement to revisit for snags, so delighted our grant giving partners on their site visit, that we have been successful in obtaining another large grant from them not 9 months later. Grant giving bodies set tight time frames to complete projects, which can seem daunting, but even with a manufacturer’s lead time of 6 weeks the team were finished with install and invoices sent to the grant body with over 2 weeks to spare.

Ask Terry to visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Bow Bears Pre-SchoolStation Road, Bow, Crediton, EX17 6HS

We are absolutely delighted with our outside play area and can not wait to see the children’s faces when they return after the summer holidays. Terry and the guys from TK Play have delivered a first class service and project.

The communication from beginning to end has been excellent and nothing was too much trouble. The guys that carried out the work were a pleasure to talk to and extremely conscientious. 

We've used TK Play for two separate projects and have been incredibly impressed with their service on both occasions. The standard of work carried out is excellent and Terry is a pleasure to deal with. 

We have further developments in the pipeline over the next 18 months and our first call will be to TK Play when we're ready to proceed.

We would definitely recommend TK Play to anyone who has a project to complete. Thank you from everyone at Bow Bears.

The Redstart Primary SchoolRedstart Road, Chard, Somerset, TA20 1SD

"The running track has proven to be massively successful at Redstart Primary School. It was laid quickly and exactly to our requirements. So far, after several years of continual use, it still looks pretty much as good as the day it was installed. Even with the recent heavy downpours the track remains dry due to its slightly raised surface and good quality aggregate base. We are very pleased with it and so are the children!"
- Nick Platt, Class Teacher and PE Lead at The Redstart Primary School, Chard.

Georgeham Primary SchoolPutsborough Rd, Croyde, Georgeham, Braunton EX33 1LB

Our School Council wanted to extend the playground and make the area more exciting - TK Play started to help all the way from the design process with the children and have now successfully installed a large area of flooring, pathways, playground lines and a volleyball court. I was pleased by the attention to detail to the project as they were quite precise about some of the children's requests but they also added a couple of their own adjustments - the children have thoroughly enjoyed the stepping stone spots to the Gazebo today!
