A specialist court contractor, not a general builder.
Ramzey GLM Tennis Court Maintenance (Pty) Ltd was founded on a simple frustration: too many South African courts were being built and coated by contractors who understood paint but not ground.
We had seen it too many times — a beautiful new court handed over in perfect condition, cracked within two summers because the base was never engineered, the falls were never set properly, and the water had nowhere to go. The client pays twice: once for the court, and again for the rebuild.
So we built a company that works the other way around. Ground conditions first. Drainage second. Levels and falls third. Only then the surface system, the colour and the line marking that everybody actually sees. It is slower to quote and harder to sell than a low number on a page — and it is the reason our courts are still true a decade later.
Today we construct, resurface, repair and maintain tennis courts, netball and basketball courts, multi-purpose sports surfaces and full court complexes for private homes, residential estates, schools, sports clubs, corporates and municipalities across Gauteng & surrounding provinces.
Two statements that decide what we take on, how we quote it and how we finish it.
To build and maintain sports court surfaces that outlast expectations — engineered properly beneath, finished beautifully above, and backed by a contractor who is still contactable years after handover.
To be the sports-surface contractor that South African estates, schools and clubs recommend without hesitation — known less for what we say about our work than for how our courts look in year ten.
Four principles that shape every quotation we issue and every court we hand over.
If a repair will not solve the problem, we say so. If resurfacing is better value than rebuilding, we tell you that too — even when it is the smaller job.
Straight lines, true falls, even colour, clean edges. The details nobody specifies are the ones that separate a good court from an excellent one.
Agreed dates, agreed scope, agreed price. We turn up when we say we will and we finish what we start.
Most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals. We build courts expecting to still be looking after them in ten years.
Six things that consistently come up when clients tell us why they picked us — and why they call us back.
Sports court surfaces are all we do. No paving sidelines, no general construction — just courts, every day.
Bases, falls and drainage are specified first. The beautiful colour coat is the last decision, not the first.
