Not everyone has the need or budget to build a brand-new non-turf practice facility - though we’ve highlighted [**examples of total-play nets installations**](https://cricketyorkshire.com/content/files/2026/05/total-play-2.html) here on the website over the years. > At some point, materials need replacing - particularly with the impact over years of these sites being outdoors in all-weather - but a refurbishment can be a very cost-effective solution. It might be your club or school is a past customer of total-play Ltd and by cleaning, replacing like-for-like or upgrading surfaces, the artificial cricket pitch or outdoor cricket nets look as good as new. They’re happy to advise and support any organisations with cricket facilities that need a new lease of life. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ee/73/ee73d104-a6c6-4e5c-a4b8-854785d36d20/content/images/2026/05/non-turf-cricket-pitch-refurbishment.jpg) #### Refurbishment of non-turf cricket facilities Lifecycle Maintenance - as it’s known by total-play - includes a whole host of upgrades depending on what needs repairing and the budget available. - Playing surfaces - Netting systems - Flood or vandalism damage A worn playing surface can be a trip hazard and cause uneven ball bounce, likewise holes in netting are frustrating, not the best experience and perhaps dangerous. If a facility is considered not to meet Performance Quality Standards (PQS), this could lead to litigation following an accident. Any damaged non-turf surfaces, whether through wear over time, floods or vandalism to name a few, need a standard of refurbishment that hits certain benchmarks. --- total-play will visit your cricket ground and do a test to measure against England & Wales (ECB) standards and guidelines. Results are immediate and can be observed by the client, after which there can be a maintenance plan put in place. --- The complexity and cost of repairs and refurbishments will vary across sites because of how the original was installed, the materials used and the degree of damage. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ee/73/ee73d104-a6c6-4e5c-a4b8-854785d36d20/content/images/2026/05/total-play-repair-cricket-nets-alvanley.webp) #### Quality and expertise with total-play What you get with total-play is an ECB-approved supplier that has many years of designing, building and maintaining top-quality cricket practice facilities and artificial match pitches. Their own products have been thought through to include deeper aggregate base, higher grade steelwork for netting frames and full-width carpet to minimise maintenance. > Not all non-turf practice facilities are the same but broadly, one with a better base construction and quality components will need less maintenance and ultimately be less expensive to repair. With upgrading outdoor cricket nets, it might be removing old carpets, re-levelling and compacting the existing sub-base then replacing the shock pads and playing surface. Equally, if you’re interested in bringing your artificial / non-turf match pitch back to life then that’s possible too - but sometimes more complicated if it was originally installed by a non-ECB approved supplier. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ee/73/ee73d104-a6c6-4e5c-a4b8-854785d36d20/content/images/2026/05/sherfield-school-non-turf-cricket-nets.jpg) #### Case study: Sherfield School At Sherfield School in Hampshire, the total-play team installed a 3-lane, ECB-approved non-turf cricket nets facility in 2016\. A refurbishment project in 2024 put in new HD Protection Tunnel Netting, PVC protection skirts and batting curtains. The carpets were also brushed and creases re-marked. This sets up the facility for its second decade of use and is a great option for those who have a total-play facility already or who need an experienced supplier to manage an upgrade. #### Repair or replace? As with the Northwood Cricket Club project in the YouTube video above, the total-play team can refurbish and add features: - Renovation to existing base constructions - Installing up-to-date, modern shock pads and playing surface carpets - Replacing existing netting with bespoke net protection systems - Installing new metal frameworks From Sunbury to Penrith, cricket clubs and schools across the country routinely use total-play to update their cricket facilities. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ee/73/ee73d104-a6c6-4e5c-a4b8-854785d36d20/content/images/2026/05/total-play-systems_banner-2.gif) #### Contact total-play If your cricket club would like to discuss refurbishment of non-turf cricket pitches, contact Anthony Burton via [**ab@total-play.co.uk**](mailto:ab@total-play.co.uk) or you can visit [**total-play.co.uk**](https://total-play.co.uk/sports-design-build/system-refurbishment/?ref=cricketyorkshire.com).
