School Refurbishment Services

Painting & Decorating

From classroom walls to sports hall ceilings and external facades, our qualified decorators deliver a clean, professional finish using durable, low-VOC paints suited to educational environments. We can work during term time, evenings, weekends or school holidays depending on your requirements.

Flooring Installation

We supply and install a wide range of flooring suitable for schools — including carpet tiles, safety vinyl, sports flooring, timber and entrance matting. We work across corridors, classrooms, dining halls, libraries and sports facilities.

Wet Room & Bathroom Adaptations

We design, supply and install fully accessible bathrooms and wet rooms for pupils and students with mobility requirements, in full compliance with DDA standards. All installations are managed in-house from initial survey to completion.

Minor Works, Joinery & Repairs

Our minor works team handles the ongoing maintenance and repair tasks that keep school buildings safe and presentable — from door and ironmongery replacements to partition repairs, ceiling tiles, skirting boards and general decorative repairs.

Dilapidations & End of Lease Works

For academy trusts and local authorities managing properties at the end of lease agreements, we deliver full dilapidation services — rip-out, redecoration, flooring and reinstatement works to return premises to their original condition.

New Build & Extension Fit-Outs

We have experience fitting out new school extensions and standalone buildings, coordinating painting, flooring, joinery, electrical and plumbing to deliver turnkey results on new classrooms, sports blocks and teaching spaces.

Working in Live School Environments

We are fully Health & Safety compliant and experienced in working to the requirements of school environments, including DBS-checked operatives where required, risk assessments for working around pupils, and strict site management protocols. We provide O&M manuals and full H&S documentation on every project.
