Padel courts, answered honestly.

Costs vary widely depending on site conditions, court spec, groundworks, lighting and whether you're going indoor or outdoor. As a rough guide, a single outdoor court built to a proper commercial spec typically lands in a mid five-figure to low six-figure range once base, structure, surface and lighting are included. Multi-court and indoor projects scale accordingly. A Site Feasibility Review gives you a realistic, project-specific number.

It depends on the site, the location and the structure. Outdoor courts on existing sports sites are often more straightforward; indoor structures, courts in residential settings or sensitive locations usually need formal planning. We'll assess your planning context during feasibility and tell you what's likely to be required — planning outcomes are always decided by the local authority.

A standard doubles court has an internal playing area of 20m x 10m, but the site needs more than that for the enclosure, access, paths, lighting, drainage and spectators — and multi-court venues need proper circulation between courts.

Often it's possible, but size isn't the only check. The existing base, drainage, levels, planning, access and orientation all need reviewing before a padel court goes on top.

Potentially. Clear height, columns, the floor slab, fire routes and access all need checking, and a change of use may need planning permission. Permitted development rights shouldn't be assumed to cover a commercial padel venue.

Once on site, a single outdoor court is typically a matter of weeks. The longer parts of the timeline are usually planning, lead times on the court itself, and any structural design or groundworks. A realistic end-to-end timeline from first conversation to live courts is normally three to six months.

Outdoor is cheaper to deliver but loses playing hours to weather and daylight. Indoor or covered courts cost more up front but unlock year-round, all-weather revenue. The right answer depends on your business model and your members. We'll walk you through the trade-offs honestly.

Several. We're deliberately manufacturer-agnostic and work with the established padel court brands we trust. The right brand depends on your site, spec and budget — and we'll recommend the one we'd put on the project if it were ours.

Groundworks is our background. We've been doing it on UK sites for over twenty years. We can deliver groundworks as a standalone package, as part of a turnkey build, or alongside other contractors when needed.

Yes. If you already have a contractor you trust, we can work alongside them rather than replace them. We review the court manufacturer's requirements, the base specification and the critical stages of the groundwork, so everyone works to the same tolerances before installation begins. We call this Build & Padel Construction Assurance.

There's no single foundation detail for every site. The right base depends on ground conditions, drainage, the court system and the manufacturer's requirements — what matters is that it's properly engineered and built accurately to the required levels and tolerances.

Build & Padel installs padel courts across the UK with its own construction-led team, whether we supply the court only, supply and install it, or deliver the complete project.

Standard courts use structural posts between the glass panels; panoramic courts reduce the framing across the glass for clearer sightlines and a more spectator-friendly look. Super-panoramic courts take that further for premium and show courts.

It can be the right choice. Country of manufacture alone doesn't decide whether a court is suitable — compare build quality, coatings, warranty, spare parts, transport and installation requirements, and look at the complete installed cost rather than the kit price alone.

Yes. You can buy the court from us independently of any groundworks package — your own contractor can build the base, and we can review the specification if helpful.

Yes. Build & Padel offers court supply only, supply plus professional installation, or complete project delivery.

It depends on budget, intended use, specification, aesthetics, location, warranty, parts support and what the project needs to achieve. There isn't one right court for everybody — there's a right specification for your project.

Availability depends on the manufacturer and court system. Long-term parts support is one of the factors we weigh up when recommending a court, and we can source components for many existing courts.

Yes. Our turnkey service places feasibility, design, planning coordination, groundworks, court procurement, installation, handover and aftercare with one accountable team.

Yes. B&P Retail & Clubhouse provides modular retail walls, coffee points, counters, furniture and lounge areas — from a compact shop in a box to a complete indoor clubhouse — and can grow as the venue does.

Yes. We service and repair courts across the UK regardless of original installer — replacement turf, replacement glass, netting, structural fixes and scheduled servicing.

A site visit, a proper look at the ground, drainage and access, indicative CAD layouts, a planning steer, an honest cost range and a written report. It's the single best first step in any padel project.
