Frequently Asked Questions - Indoor Padel Court Construction

Do you need planning permission for an indoor padel court in the UK?

Most indoor padel courts do not require full planning permission if they sit within an existing building. You may still need consent for lighting, ventilation, acoustic treatment, or structural changes. Our team will confirm this during the site assessment. Visit our specific location pages, like padel court construction in Essex, for local guidelines.

What is the minimum ceiling height for an indoor padel court?

Seven metres is recommended for full play. Eight metres or more is ideal for advanced players and competition-level facilities.

Can a warehouse be converted into an indoor padel venue?

Yes. Warehouses are suitable due to their height, floor area, and structural capacity. We assess slab strength, roof height, lighting layout, airflow paths, and acoustic conditions before confirming suitability.

How much does an indoor padel court cost?

Costs vary based on lighting, ventilation, groundworks, and required building upgrades. Indoor courts are typically more expensive due to additional mechanical and electrical systems. Request a full design pack for accurate pricing.

What lighting is required for indoor padel courts?

Indoor courts use LED systems that deliver around five hundred Lux across the entire playing area. Fixtures must use anti glare optics and precise positioning to avoid reflection on the glass.

What ventilation does an indoor padel court need?

A controlled ventilation system removes moisture, stabilises temperature, and prevents condensation on glass surfaces. Mechanical systems may include extraction fans, dehumidifiers, or fresh air supply units.

Indoor Lighting Requirements for Padel Courts

• Average illumination of 500 Lux at floor level
• LED floodlights with asymmetric optics
• Anti-glare directional lenses
• High colour rendering for clear ball tracking
• Ceiling-mounted or frame-mounted options based on venue design
• Low heat emission fixtures to protect indoor air comfort
