Riding Arena Refurbishment in Kent

Even the best arenas wear down over time. Constant use, heavy rainfall and natural settlement can all cause surfaces to compact, drain poorly or become uneven. At Riding Arena Kent, we specialise in arena refurbishment and surface renewal across Kent and the South East, helping riders restore their arenas to full performance.

Bring Your Riding Arena Back to Life

If your surface has become deep, slippery or waterlogged, refurbishment can make a huge difference. Dig-outs and levelling are at the core of our work. Many of our builds require major excavation to create stable, well-drained bases on uneven or challenging terrain. Our 30+ years of experience means we have the skills and equipment to complete these projects to perfection. Our experienced team assesses your existing arena and recommends the best approach, from minor repairs to full reconstruction.

Our refurbishment services include:

• Removal of worn or contaminated surfaces
• Repair or replacement of membrane layers
• Re-levelling and improving drainage systems
• Installation of new performance surfaces
• Fence, kickboard and gate replacement

We use high-quality aggregates and fibres designed for long-term stability and consistent footing.

Common Riding Arena Issues We Solve

Over time, your arena may show signs that it needs professional attention.

Typical issues include:

• Standing water after rain
• Uneven or compacted surface
• Poor drainage or base movement
• Weeds or moss growth through the top layer
• Contaminated or dusty surface materials

We’ve refurbished arenas in Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, London and Canterbury, often transforming surfaces that clients thought were beyond repair.

Surface Options to Suit Your Riding Style

Whether you ride for leisure or competition, the right surface makes all the difference.

We supply and install a wide range of proven arena materials:

• Silica sand and fibre blends – balanced cushioning and stability.
• Rubber chip mixes – ideal for all-weather training.
• Eco-friendly alternatives – recycled, sustainable and cost-effective.
• Custom blends – tailored to your riding discipline and drainage design.

The surface makes all the difference. Riding Arena Kent installs and maintains premium equestrian surfaces from Martin Collins, Andrews Bowen and Day Equestrian, recognised as the most respected suppliers in the industry.

Not every contractor is approved to work with these brands; we’re proud to be among the few that are. Whether you prefer a competition-grade Ecotrack surface or a reliable Fibremix blend, we can provide the right solution for your arena.
