Summer School Maintenance Season is Here: Why Now is the Perfect Time to Complete Fire Safety Projects

Every summer, schools across the UK become some of the busiest construction and maintenance sites in the country. With pupils and staff away for the holidays, contractors have a limited window to complete essential repairs, refurbishments and compliance work before the new academic year begins.

If you’re a contractor, facilities manager or maintenance company working in education, having the right fire safety products delivered quickly can make all the difference.

The Summer Holiday Rush

Many maintenance and refurbishment projects simply can’t be completed while schools are occupied. Fire stopping, compartmentation repairs, door upgrades, passive fire protection and service penetrations are often far easier, safer and more cost-effective to complete when classrooms and corridors are empty.

The Department for Education also highlights that certain maintenance activities are best carried out during school closures to minimise disruption and improve health and safety.

From:

Fire door maintenance
Fire stopping installations
Compartmentation improvements
Mechanical and electrical upgrades
Internal refurbishments
Building compliance works

…summer provides the ideal opportunity to get the job done before students return.
