FAQ

Common
Questions.

Can you work around the school term?

Yes — programming around term dates is standard for education projects. We plan intensive holiday-period programmes and out-of-hours working where term-time access is required. We coordinate fully with the school or college calendar.

How do you manage pupil safety on live campuses?

We establish clear segregated work zones with hoarding, dedicated access routes and exclusion areas. All operatives are DBS-checked where required and site segregation is maintained throughout.

Do your operatives need DBS checks for school sites?

Yes — where required by the school or local authority, our site operatives and managers hold current DBS checks. This is confirmed at the pre-start stage.

Can you manage asbestos removal in school buildings?

Yes — many pre-2000 school buildings contain asbestos. We carry out a refurbishment survey before any works and manage all licensed and non-licensed removal within the programme, with full air monitoring.

Is a site survey free?

Yes — all surveys and quotations are free and carry no obligation. Fixed-price quotation within 24 hours.
