The original quote was very competitive so we decided to go with Playdale over other companies. Over a matter of months, it became clear that this was a mistake. First, they had measured incorrectly, then the costs started to spiral above our original budget so they had to quote for cheaper equipment, then they realised they couldn't get lorries onto site because of the width of our gates (even though originally we were told this was no problem at all). As we got closer to installation the cost went up again, the price of tarmac had gone up, we needed portable toilets, we needed additional skips...What should have been a summer holiday installation ran well into September with piles of concrete and metal rubble left outside classroom doors and half the playground left fenced off because it was unsafe for the children. Every time we chased with Playdale what was happening we were told how much of a loss they were making on our project and they were doing the best they could. Four weeks after they finally completed, some of the bolts on one piece of equipment came out and the rope came loose. We telephoned Playdale to ask them to come out and put this right only to be sent a diagram so our caretaker could fix it. Since then four more bolts have come loose. Quite frankly I would not touch this company again with a barge pole!
