School & Education FAQs
Can you work during term time?
Yes, we can work during term time with appropriate safeguarding measures. However, larger projects are typically scheduled during holidays to minimise disruption to teaching and learning.
Are your team DBS checked?
Yes, all our operatives who work in schools hold valid enhanced DBS checks and are trained in safeguarding protocols. We can provide copies of DBS certificates upon request.
Do you work with Salix funding?
Yes, we're experienced in specifying and installing glazing that meets Salix funding requirements. We can provide the documentation needed for your application, including U-value calculations and energy performance data.
How do you minimise disruption to the school?
We plan works around the school calendar, typically scheduling major projects during holidays or half-terms. For term-time works, we segregate areas, maintain quiet during lessons, and ensure clean handovers at the end of each day.
Can you help with fire door compliance?
Yes, we supply and install fire-rated doorsets that meet Building Regulations Part B. We also offer fire door surveys, remedial works, and certification to help schools maintain compliance.
Do you provide RAMS documentation?
Yes, we provide full RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statements) for all school projects. These are tailored to your site and can be reviewed before works commence.
What types of windows do you install in schools?
We install aluminium, uPVC, and timber windows depending on the building type and requirements. For heritage buildings, we offer bespoke timber sash windows that match conservation requirements.
Can you replace windows in listed school buildings?
Yes, we have experience working on listed buildings and conservation areas. We can manufacture heritage-compliant windows that match original profiles while improving thermal and acoustic performance.
Do you offer emergency glazing repairs for schools?
Yes, we provide same-day emergency response for broken windows and doors. We can make safe with temporary boarding and return to complete permanent repairs with minimal disruption.
What security glazing options do you offer?
We offer laminated safety glass, anti-vandal glazing, and security-rated doorsets. These meet the requirements for ground floor classrooms, reception areas, and high-risk locations.
Can you work with multi-academy trusts (MATs)?
Yes, we work with several MATs across the South East, providing consistent service and pricing across multiple school sites. We can set up framework agreements for ongoing maintenance and planned works.
Do you offer planned maintenance contracts?
Yes, we offer PPM (Planned Preventative Maintenance) contracts for schools covering window and door servicing, hardware checks, and minor repairs to prevent larger issues developing.
What warranties do you provide?
We provide manufacturer warranties on all products (typically 10 years on frames, 5 years on hardware) plus our own workmanship guarantee. Full documentation is provided for your asset registers.
Can you improve thermal performance of school buildings?
Yes, replacing single-glazed or old double-glazed windows with modern units can significantly reduce heat loss. We provide U-value calculations to demonstrate energy savings for budget justification.
Do you install automatic doors in schools?
Yes, we install automatic sliding and swing doors for main entrances, providing accessibility compliance and secure access control integration where required.
How do you handle asbestos in older school buildings?
We work alongside licensed asbestos contractors where required. We can coordinate surveys before works and ensure safe working practices in buildings with known or suspected asbestos-containing materials.
