The full process of working with Playdale was a very supportive experience , without being pressured into decision making.Timescales proposed by the Playdale team were met and the end result of a refurbished play area has been very well received.

The recessed holes for the washers were drilled the wrong side of the timbers so we had to redrill them on site.

VERY PROFESSIONAL AND POLITE STAFF AND INSTALLERS AND VERY HELPFUL

we had missing bolts and plastic caps which would have held up the whole project fortunately we had the plastic caps in stock and were able to source the missing bolts locally.

I've worked at Playdale for many years, and it's a great place to work. The people are brilliant and the products are excellent quality. I'd recommend Playdale as a place to work.

There were numerous problems whilst ordering the new play equipment, already well documented, the installation was delayed and we were not kept particularly well informed. I have now had to ring you to find out where the final invoice is only to be told you should have had that from the project coordinator. I had actually worked that out for myself hence my call. I also have not received the independent final report and I am advised customer service will look into that! Not exactly exception customer care is it?

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!

Thank you for your review. We are so happy to hear that you have had excellent equipment and hope that it makes smiles for everyone at Burton Fleming Sports.
I have two I play units that have been out of action for some time, I asked playdale to attend and service the machines re covid lock down, I have spent a considerable amount of money on the proviso that they will be back to full working order. and they are still not working. very poor service.

Hi Mike We are extremely sorry to hear that you have had such an unsatisfactory experience with Playdale. We can ensure you this is not how we do business and after further investigation realised that the person you had originally dealt with left the business without passing on this information to the rest of the team to allow for the servicing of the units. I believe our Customer Care Team leader, Lisa has been in touch and has rectified this problem. We want to thank you for your feedback
Although the staff have all been very friendly and professional. It has taken a very long time for the installation to take place, with it being called off for several reasons. This has caused a great deal of inconvenience for our staff and resulted in fencing being in our park for a matter of weeks which youths throwing it around in the evenings.

Thank you for your review and we’re sorry your experience hasn’t matched your expectations. In a very uncommon and unfortunate instance, our Installer had fallen ill which has been out of our control and sadly delayed the installation. This has also resulted in the Heras fencing being onsite longer and unattended than expected, but rectified by our Contracts Manager going out to the site to install the fencing and bring a stop to any vandalism. We are sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience and will ensure to put processes in place to avoid this in the future. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@playdale.co.uk for any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share. We would love to make things right if you give us another chance.
They provided great help!

Thank you for your review. We really appreciate your feedback and hope that your playground makes lots of smiles :)
The issues that affected us, once understood by the senior management team, were addressed swiftly and with personal attention. I am satisfied now with the service and have changed the review to indicate this. There was a real desire from Playdale management to make the change and offer us better customer service. The playground has been used by lots of families and has created a joyful space.
