Sports Facilities
We pledge to keep your premises suitably warm without affecting the activity or practice of those within the building. Recommended temperatures of between 12°C and 16°C are easily attained with our heaters and can be altered by the client to suit their own preference. Units in our fleet are sophisticated yet very easy to use, allowing you to make setting adjustments easily. Our efficient mobile heaters represent the perfect solution to system failures or cold weather, with thousands of units held in stock at our depots.
In addition to our extensive range of portable heaters we also provide sports facilities with a temporary boiler hire service, for use when existing boilers have failed or are in need of maintaining, our boilers provide both heating and hot water for showers and other uses.
Our service is not just about supplying heating equipment, but extends to fuel management and includes a 24/7 back-up provision. We also provide free site surveys to ensure that we will provide the best and most cost-efficient package for your situation and will deliver it instantly.

Pitch Defrosting
In winter especially, football pitches and similar grassed areas with insufficient protection from frost often suffer cancelled fixtures and lost revenue. Frost and ice can also cause long-term damage to playing surfaces if not countered effectively, but we have the expertise and experience in helping to avoid this. Attempting to control the temperature of an open area can seem daunting, but we have the equipment and know-how to ensure our clients’ match or fixture goes ahead.
During periods of cold weather, a simple heating package designed specifically for thawing ice can help you avoid the prospect of postponement. Our expert consultant team will assist you in choosing the most suitable system according to the layout and size of your premises. Temporary heating units can be deployed at ground level and discharge large volumes of warm air to ensure frost on the pitch surface quickly melts.
So if you encounter adverse weather and need emergency assistance or you’re looking ahead to the impending colder months, we can help. With thousands of heaters stored in our depots nationwide, we can guarantee instant delivery. If you would like to discuss a heating rental solution for your stadium, or simply gain more information about our service, call us on 0800 211 611.
