Table of contents

Practical guide for investors and family operators of entertainment centers.

TL;DR

  • The playroom service should combine an overview of the construction, mountings, grids, foams, stitching and interactive elements.
  • Safety deficiencies require immediate exclusion of the element and urgent notification.
  • The photo report, priority list and repair history help plan costs and talk to the insurer.
  • Regular inspections and quick minor repairs usually reduce the cost of the failure and the time of the zone’s shutdown.

Action Plan

  1. Secure or disable the item if the fault may endanger users.
  2. Prepare a general photo, close-up, module location and a brief description of the symptom.
  3. Report the history of the surveys, previous repairs and possible access windows.
  4. After diagnosis, confirm priorities, parts, deadline and scope of the zone exclusion.
  5. Keep the report, photo documentation and recommendations for the next review.

The indoor playgrounds work intensely every day, often from morning to late evening. It is an environment where materials are constantly used and the safety of users must remain unquestionable. That is why regular service, technical control and care for hygiene of equipment are the foundation for the sustainability of the entire investment. Indoor Play Concept has been specialising in soft play zones, trampoline parks and modular constructions in accordance with EN 1176 and EN 1177 standards. Our knowledge and experience allow you to maintain your facilities in perfect condition, and the owners give peace and certainty of operation throughout the year.

Service as a security for your investment

Regular service is not only a preventive action, but also a way to reduce the cost of operating the facility. The European standards EN 1176 and EN 1177 review allows to detect the use of materials, structural damage or changes in the voltage of the grids. This makes repairing fast, predictable and much cheaper than emergency interventions.

Systematic control also affects the positive image of the object. A well-maintained play area increases parents’ confidence and encourages children to actively use the attractions. If the equipment looks aesthetically fresh and the design is kept in great condition, guests spend more time in the facility and are more eager to return to it.

What does the professional Indoor Play Concept service include?

Periodic reviews

During the inspections, we will examine the state of construction, the efficiency of the mountings, the condition of the stitching, foams, grids and all finishing elements in detail. We are also checking compliance with EN 1176 and EN 1177 standards to ensure that the zone meets all safety requirements. After the audit, we prepare a complete report in PDF format, containing photos, technical assessment and a list of recommendations with priority determination.

Maintenance and repair

As part of the repair work, we replace used hulls, supplement foams, tighten the grids, tighten the connectors and strengthen the structural elements. We carry out both small aesthetic adjustments and more advanced technical work. We have standard parts in stock, which allows you to reduce the response time and perform repairs without waiting for delivery.

Hygiene and disinfection

The purity in the play area has a huge impact on the comfort of guests and the reception of the object as a whole. We offer professional cleaning of upholstered elements, construction modules, grids and panels. We work exclusively on measures with appropriate certificates, and we adapt each hygiene plan to the type of facility, traffic intensity and zone specificity.

Modernisation and expansion

If the zone needs to be upgraded, we can prepare an attractive audit, propose new modules or interactive elements, and even redesign the structure for guests’ traffic. Modernization is a great opportunity to raise the zone to a higher level and attract new users.

Emergency service

In emergency situations we act quickly and precisely. In critical cases, we usually respond within 24 hours, and repairs are performed within 48 hours. Standard applications are made on average over a period of up to 120 hours. This makes the downtimes minimal and the object can operate virtually continuously.

Why do the objects choose Indoor Play Concept?

The owners appreciate our specialization in the first place. We do not deal with everything – we focus exclusively on soft play, trampoline parks and modular constructions. This helps us to know typical technical problems, predict potential faults, and choose solutions that actually prolong the life of the entire zone.

We use original parts from our production or – in the case of the construction of other manufacturers – from certified replacements with comparable parameters. Regardless of the scope of the work, we guarantee the full level of safety and aesthetics of the object.

Each visit ends with a complete set of documents: a service report, a protocol of compliance with standards and a photographic document. This is a comprehensive material that will work during both audit and in dealing with the insurer.

Service packages tailored to different needs

We have created three levels of service care, thanks to which the owner of the facility can choose the range of activities to its calendar and type of activity. Basic package includes one review per year and is ideal for smaller facilities. Business Package is the most frequently chosen option, offering two reviews and additional staff training. The most extensive Premium package provides as many as four reviews per year and guarantees priority handling regardless of the situation.

When is it worth ordering a service?

If you notice loose mountings, sew wipes, drop in net tension or if the last review was done more than a year ago, it is a good time to contact our team. It is also worth ordering a review if the audit of the certification body is coming or if customers are starting to comment on the state of equipment.

What’s the service call look like?

The process is simple and transparent. First you report the problem by telephone, through a form or WhatsApp. Then we analyze the material, prepare the preliminary estimate and set the date of the visit. On site we carry out the work as planned and after completion you will receive complete documentation and recommendations for further operation.

Do you need support or review of your zone?

We encourage you to contact Indoor Play Concept. We will advise, perform a comprehensive analysis and ensure that your play area not only works safely, but also presents itself aesthetically and attracts new users. If the equipment requires more intervention, we will be happy to prepare a modernization project adapted to the character of your facility.
