What we deliver

How the School & Public Steelwork service works.

Specced, scheduled, paperwork on the day, signed off against your spec sheet. Out-of-hours where the site demands it.

F01

Holiday Window Programmes

Summer six-week and half-term breaks worked back from end-date. Spec, prep, prime, top-coat, finish. Multi-site portfolios handled across the same window.

F02

Sports Cages & MUGAs

Multi-use games areas with steel cage perimeters often need a full strip back to substrate. Done over the long break, ready for new term.

F03

Balustrade & Railings

Estate railings, stair balustrades, ramp handrails. Either spot-touch where corrosion is patchy or full strip-back where it's been let go.

F04

DfE-Friendly Paperwork

RAMS, COSHH and CRB clearances available where the LEA or trust requires them. Method statements signed off ahead of the school gate closing.

Common questions

Procurement-grade answers.

Questions we get on most school & public steelwork enquiries before pricing.

Do you have CRB-cleared technicians?
Yes, where the school or trust requires it. We provide certificates in advance with the RAMS.
Can you do multiple sites in one summer?
Yes. Trusts and LEAs with five-plus sites get a sequenced programme over the six-week window. One paint spec, one contractor, one paperwork pack.
What about safety paint specs?
Anti-graffiti and anti-climb finishes available. Slip-resistant top-coats for ramps and platforms. Specced into the job from the off, no upgrade later.
Will it last the school year?
A properly-prepped two-coat polyurethane on school railings is good for ten years before another refresh. We don't sell short-life systems.
Other services

What else we spray.

Same team, same paperwork, different scope. One contractor across the building.

Brief us on the job.

Most enquiries start with a five-minute call to confirm scope, sector and shutdown window. Drawings or schedules ideal but not essential to get a price moving.
