Broxap’s Keep It Klean programme is a dedicated maintenance and servicing package for your outdoor shade sail installations. Designed to protect your investment and ensure long-term performance, this structured service supports schools and commercial sites across the UK with professional inspection, cleaning and adjustment of tensile sail systems.
Engineered shade structures are built for durability, but like any permanent external installation, they benefit from planned maintenance. Our Service Plus option provides reassurance that your sails will remain safe, presentable and fully functional year after year.

Protecting Your Commercial Shade Sail Investment
A high-quality commercial shade sail is engineered to withstand challenging UK weather conditions. However, ongoing exposure to wind loading, seasonal debris and general environmental contaminants can gradually affect tension, appearance and performance.
The Keep It Klean programme helps to: • Maintain correct sail tension • Identify potential wear before it becomes problematic • Preserve colour vibrancy and fabric integrity • Extend the operational lifespan of the structure • Ensure continued protection from harmful UV rays
This proactive approach supports compliance, safety and long-term value for schools and public sector organisations.
Annual Inspection and Re-Tensioning
Planned Preventative Maintenance
Our trained personnel carry out a comprehensive annual inspection and re-tensioning service for each tensile shade sail installation. This work is typically undertaken on a pre-planned basis between February and May, ensuring the sail is in optimal condition ahead of peak summer use.
During the visit, our team will: • Inspect fabric condition and fixings • Check structural posts and anchor points • Re-tension sails as required • Identify and report on any recommended repairs
Additional visits can be arranged by appointment outside the standard programme period if required.
For education settings in particular, this ensures your weather resistant shade sail UK installation is prepared to provide reliable sun protection throughout the warmer months.
Annual Cleaning Service
Maintaining Appearance and Performance
Over time, contaminants such as autumn leaves, bird lime, airborne dust and snow deposits can dull the surface of a heavy duty shade sail. While these structures are designed for resilience, regular cleaning helps preserve their appearance and material performance.
Our annual cleaning service: • Removes built-up debris and staining • Restores fabric brightness and presentation • Reduces the risk of long-term surface degradation • Is carried out safely by trained personnel
Whether arranged as a one-off clean or as part of a broader servicing agreement, this service allows schools and site managers to maintain a high standard of presentation without placing risk on staff or pupils.
Retro-Fitted Winch Option
Enhanced Control in Extreme Weather
Although each waterproof shade sail canopy or tensioned sail system is designed to cope with typical UK weather conditions, exceptional snowfall and extreme weather may require temporary fabric release.
To support this, a retro-fitted winch option is available. The winch enables: • Controlled lowering of the sail • Safe removal of snow or leaf build-up • Re-tensioning of the fabric to its original state • Secure locking of the mechanism once adjusted
This additional control mechanism is particularly beneficial for larger installations where access for maintenance must be managed carefully.
Flexible Servicing to Suit Your Site
We recognise that each outdoor shade sail installation is unique. Our service programme is designed to be flexible and responsive to site-specific requirements.
