Get the Kids Swinging Again
Worn swing seats are dangerous - cracked plastic or frayed ropes mean accidents waiting to happen. New seat fitted properly means safe play.
💡 Pro tip: When replacing one seat, check the others too. They've all had the same UV exposure and use - if one's failed, others might not be far behind.

🔧 DIY Tips
🔧 You'll need: Replacement seat, appropriate fixings (often supplied with seat), spanner/pliers
💡 Getting it right:
- Check what fixings your swing uses before buying replacement
- Height depends on kids' ages - seat should be 30-40cm off ground when at rest
- Make sure chains/ropes aren't twisted when hanging
- Test thoroughly before letting kids on
⚠️ Safety: Don't reuse old worn fixings. Don't overtighten and crack plastic. Check everything before use.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the swing seat needs replacing?
Cracks in plastic seats, frayed ropes on rope seats, or worn/split wooden seats all need replacing. If you wouldn't want your kid on it, it needs replacing. Better safe than sorry with playground equipment.
Do I need to buy the replacement seat?
Yes - you buy the seat (or I can advise where to get one), I fit it. Seats come in different types (flat plastic, bucket, rope, wooden) so get one appropriate for your kids' ages. I can advise on suitable options.
Will you check the rest of the swing while you're there?
Absolutely. I'll check the frame for rust/rot, chains for wear, fixings for security. No point fitting a new seat to a swing that's unsafe elsewhere. I'll let you know if anything else needs attention.
Can you replace multiple swing seats?
Yes - if you've got a swing set with multiple swings needing new seats, I'll do them all in one visit. More efficient than separate callouts.
How long do swing seats last?
Depends on type and use. Plastic seats UV-degrade over time (5-10 years typically). Rope seats fray. Wooden seats split. Regular inspection is important - kids' safety equipment shouldn't be fitted and forgotten.
