    Your rooms

    Classrooms, halls, offices and specialist spaces, grouped by priority.

  3. 03

    Survey, product choices, access and fitting sequence recorded before work starts.

Questions for this setting

Before you send the brief

Can school work be planned for holiday access?

Include the holiday dates, permitted hours and any rooms that remain in use. The programme can then be assessed against the actual room groups and scope.

What helps with glare on classroom screens?

Tell us which way the windows face, where the screens are and what time of day the glare hits. The survey then looks at useful daylight as well as screen visibility.

Do you fit blinds for colleges and universities?

Yes. Worsley College had its training rooms and multi-window walls fitted over the summer break, around equipment that stays set up all year. Campus work is planned the same way: term dates, room groups and Enhanced DBS across the fitting team.

What do you provide for the school's procurement checks?

Insurance certificates (£5,000,000 public and £10,000,000 employers' liability), Enhanced DBS across the fitting team, a project specific RAMS before we start, BS EN 13120 child safety devices on every blind, and the fire certificate for the specified fabric.
