Hotline Number OBI MAINTENANCE HOTLINE NUMBER 0114 257 7211

The OBI office is still open and operational to manage any maintenance or warranty queries associated with the 9,150 Goals installed through the Initiative. The information provided below details a quick summary of all the services offered to existing Site Co-ordinators and how to access them.


Maintenance Cover


Every OBI Goal has a maintenance service agreement provided though the Initiative, to maximise the useful life of the Goals. The Goals are designed to be extremely durable and long lasting inevitably however, a number of the Goals may require attention during the period of use. The Site Co-ordinator, in line with the 'Conditions of Participation' is responsible for ensuring that they immediately notify the OBI office of any damage caused to the backboard(s) and or Goal(s).

A five year maintenance programme is provided by the OBI who will pay for travel and labour costs in relation to any replacement or repair necessary to the Goal. The price of all replacement parts must be covered by the Site Owner unless the fault is deemed to be a manufacturers defect in which case the part will be replaced under warranty and at no additional cost.

Site Co-ordinators are reminded that they are responsible for ensuring that backboards are kept in a clean condition, free from graffiti.

Maintenance Inspections

A maintenance inspection will take place mid term approximately thirty months after the installation of every Goal, except where a hot-line call out has been requested within the previous 6 months. This inspection will attend to any faults and provide maintenance as necessary.

Site Co-ordinators will be advised in writing by the OBI when the mid term maintenance inspection will be carried out.

Hot-Line Service

An emergency call out service is operated through a telephone hot-line at the OBI Office with a technical response by telephone within 48 hours and, if deemed necessary, a maintenance team visit to the Site within seven working days. In exceptional circumstances, where safety is a concern, a maintenance visit to Site can be arranged within two working days. Only the registered Site Co-ordinator can request the hot-line service. This service is available for five years from the date of installation. The costs of travel and labour are again covered by the OBI, but any replacements parts will be charged at cost.
