Anyone for padel? JAMIE, JASON, ANTONY, SHAUN (SALES)
RYAN, ANDY, RUSS (OPERATIONS)
At Smart-Space we work with all kinds of businesses,
across a number of sectors, who all have something in
common - they need an instant building for additional
space, quickly and inexpensively. For a sports hall, or padel
court specifically, we work to a unique set of criteria as
stated by the LTA and upheld by our own stringently high
standards.
We are able to take care of as much as you prefer:
everything from the initial site visit to handing over the
keys to a fully usable building complete with electrics,
flooring, sports equipment and anything else that’s needed.
What all of our many clients enjoy is a really flexible
agreement - we’re an established, independent business
so we are open to creating terms that work for you, with no
minimum rental period, off-hire whenever you like and an
option to change from rental to purchase if you prefer.
What is important to us is that you are happy with the
quality of the building you choose, and its suitability for
your requirements, together with a service and cost that
tick every box.

Case study: Stratford Padel Club
Stratford Padel Club in London is home to one of the fastest growing sports in the world. It is owned and managed by Javier
Fernandez who is passionate about growing the sport in the UK. Javier chose Stratford in London as the venue for his venture
because it is right next to the Olympic stadium and in the thriving, regenerated East London area. It occupies prime space
along a busy main road on land previously used for a car park.
“I chose Smart-Space for my building because they gave me alternatives to several issues where other companies just
dismissed us” explained Javier. A temporary building ticked all the boxes in terms of space - no supporting pillars to get in the
way of the courts - and was an affordable option. It was erected quickly and without any problems. The PVC roof floods the
building with light which is perfect for playing and makes it feel airy and spacious. The space is also well lit by bespoke lights
that flood each court from the sides. The club chose not to use the overhead LEDs as the players look up a lot when lobbing
the ball and they’d look straight at the lights so side lights were deemed more player-friendly.
Javier and his team got to work installing 3 padel courts, changing room, showers, toilets, gym , reception/bar and seating
area. The club has an urban atmosphere that lends itself well to the sport, the ‘gritty not glitzy’ approach to sport and the
club’s basic, hard-working gym. As a former cross-fit trainer, PT and climber, Javier enjoys all sport and wanted to provide a
range of attractions at the club - including table tennis.
Going forward, one of the advantages of the Smart-Space building is that it can be easily relocated so wherever the club
goes, the building can go too!
