Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book festival matting?
We recommend booking your festival matting as soon as your festival dates and venue are confirmed, ideally 3-6 months in advance for larger events. This ensures availability and allows time for proper site assessment and planning. However, we can also accommodate last-minute requests depending on availability.
How do you determine how much ground protection I need?
We conduct a thorough site assessment considering your event layout, expected attendance, vehicle routes, ground conditions, and weather forecasts. We identify high-risk areas like access routes, loading zones, and high-traffic sections, then design a solution that protects critical areas within your budget.
What if it rains during my festival?
Our ground protection systems are specifically designed for wet conditions. Heavy-duty trackway maintains vehicle access even in mud, while pedestrian matting allows drainage while protecting the ground beneath. Many festivals operate successfully in heavy rain because they have proper protection in place.
Will ground protection damage the grass underneath?
No. Our festival matting systems are designed to protect turf and allow grass to breathe. For hire periods under 2-3 weeks, grass typically remains healthy underneath. We advise on optimal installation timing and duration to minimise any impact.
How long does installation and removal take?
Installation time depends on site size and complexity, but our experienced teams work efficiently to meet your deadlines. A typical festival site can often be protected in 1-3 days. Removal is usually quicker. We work around your build and breakdown schedules.
Do you provide installation and removal services?
Yes, we offer complete installation and removal services with experienced teams who understand event timelines and venue requirements. We can also provide guidance for self-installation if preferred.
Can ground protection be used on sloped terrain?
Yes, our trackway and matting systems can be installed on slopes and uneven ground. We assess your site’s topography during planning and recommend appropriate solutions for challenging terrain.
What’s included in the hire cost?
Quotes typically include the matting or trackway rental, delivery, installation, removal, and collection. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Additional services like site surveys or extended hire periods can be added as needed.

Temporary operating environments can present a wide variety of conditions, many of which are challenging.
To address these challenges, we manufacture and supply industry-leading event flooring, pedestrian-friendly walkways and heavy duty trackway systems to meet your unique needs.

This is achieved by delivering practical, dependable, and high-quality solutions that are easy to transport, install, and pack up.
Furthermore, our experience includes supporting Sports Events organisers on an international level, installing safe, clean, and resilient flooring and trackway.

There, we planned, supplied, and deployed temporary flooring across their state-of-the-art football pitch for several world-class boxing events. In addition, we worked on the world’s biggest sporting event hosted in London in 2012. At this event, we planned, delivered, and managed the flooring across seven outdoor venues.
