We work with you to provide the following benefits:
Working Hard for Your Budget
To ensure your budget works as hard as possible for you, we will
- Provide a free site visit, survey and estimate, whether you need a single door or window replacing or you need a whole series of installations. We care about each job, no matter how large or small.
- We are happy to provide a quote for a larger number of windows and doors allowing you to ‘cherry pick’ which ones you would like to replace immediately depending on your budget.
- We do not subcontract any of our work. We manufacture all products to your exact specifications and our team of installers will fit your order. Our competitive prices reflect the fact that you are dealing directly with the manufacturer and not a team of subcontractors
- Our busiest installation period is during the school holidays. To help spread our workload, we sometimes offer discounts to schools that can accommodate our installers during term time. We are always happy to discuss projects on an individual basis. To keep up to date of our special offers, sign up here to receive our Newsletter
Child Health and Safety – A Primary Concern
With the safety of children in mind, we can supply the following:
- Anti-finger trap style doors. The rotating door posts fit in a tight socket eliminating any space for fingers to become trapped
- Teleflex Winders can optionally be fitted to open windows. This eliminates the need for cords or poles being used to open/close high level windows, which is both safer and neater.
- Sliding windows can also be fitted with catch restrictors to prevent the window from being opened beyond a safe limit.
- We only use safety glass in our doors and windows in accordance with BS6262
- Low ramped thresholds, wide frames and low level handles for easy wheelchair access.
Minimising School Disruption
When installing our windows and doors, we want to ensure that any disruption is kept to an absolute minimum. Here is how we work:
- As far as possible, we will work during the school holidays, inset days, weekends and during the evening
- If it is not possible to work outside of the school day, we will prioritise completing installations first in areas of the school that do not compromise child security and safety and work on main entrance doors for example outside of school hours, when the children are no longer on the premises.
Colour Matching To Your School Colours
All schools have their own individual identity and colours. We work closely with you to reflect the pride you and your children have in their school.
- All of our window frames, doors and infill panels can be sprayed to exactly match your school colours. We use the classic RAL system, the most popular Central European Colour Standard used today. It is used to define standard colours for paint and coatings in architecture, construction, industry and road safety.
- We can optionally provide installations in two colours and supply glass for doors that has been engraved with your school logo or motto or we can supply graphics on film that can be applied.
Making A Better Teaching Environment
Old or poorly fitted doors and windows can cause heat loss, sun glare and do not make for a particularly pleasant place to work and learn.
- In accordance with the EU Directive 2006/32/EC we use only high UV energy saving glass in our windows and doors. By conserving heat and saving energy, classrooms fitted with our windows are noticeably warmer in winter and some schools have reported reduced heating bills as a result
- Sun glare can be a problem in south facing classrooms, especially when using whiteboards. Solar glass is available which will significantly cut down on solar glare. In extreme cases, sun shading louvres can be fitted.
We Care About You!
You are important to us. It’s true!
- We do not sub-contract any of our work. As a customer you will deal directly with us – the manufacturer. There is no need to go through a third party contractor, where your requirements may be handed over from person to person. You will be able to discuss all your needs directly with the people who are responsible for the job. We provide a site visit, survey, quotation, we make any adjustments if necessary and install your order ourselves. When the job is complete, we always follow up with a visit to ensure you are happy with the job. We pride ourselves with offering our customers excellent products and excellent service.
- We have a duty of care to ensure we meet your individual needs and requirements
