Inspect at useful intervals
A calendar-only schedule misses changes in use. Combine routine visual checks with inspections after events, floor repairs, deep cleaning or equipment moves. Outdoor courts also need checks after winter and drainage problems.
Use repeatable condition language
Define what counts as slight fading, edge lift, local loss and widespread failure. Photograph the same reference areas each time. Consistent records make it easier to decide whether a patch repair is growing into a full remarking project.
Link cleaning and marking records
Changes in cleaning products or machinery can affect line appearance and wear. Keep cleaning and coating records together so unusual deterioration can be investigated rather than simply repainted.
Set intervention triggers
Agree when a local repair is acceptable, when a test patch is required and when a full layout review is triggered. A new sport, changed equipment position or major floor repair should prompt a drawing review even when old lines still look serviceable.
