Why Choose Us For Your School Washroom Refurbishment Project?

Planning a large-scale school washroom refurbishment project this winter? Then the contractor you choose won’t just need a proven track record of fully compliant, low-disruption projects. You must also be able to trust them to put the comfort, privacy, and long-term needs of your pupils first, both within their design, and during the project itself.

So, why exactly should you partner with us for your school washroom refurbishment project this October? Let’s find out.

Key Points: 

• Accessible Design: We specialise in delivering fully accessible washroom facilities that accommodate all pupils.  

• Minimal Disruption: We aim to reduce any disruptions or distractions by scheduling our services outside of school hours or during school holidays.  

• Sustainable Fixtures: We integrate energy and water-saving solutions into our washroom designs wherever possible.  

We Specialise In Accessible Design

Planning a school washroom refurbishment involves balancing many priorities, but accessibility stands out above them all as the most important factor.

At Universal Contracting, all of our washroom designs are fully compliant with the relevant accessibility standards, ensuring that each and every pupil is able to use the facilities independently. We approach every refurbishment with a keen eye for any potential barriers, and address them proactively with:  

• Wide, accessible doorways that are easy to push open and move through.  

• Dispensers, hand driers, and handles installed at appropriate heights.  

• Grab bars and support rails within the cubicles. 

We work in partnership with both school leadership teams and other local contractors to deliver fully accessible washrooms that accommodate all pupils' requirements.

We Prioritise Pupil Privacy

A washroom is more than just a school facility. It’s a wellbeing space that offers privacy throughout the school day, and our refurbishment services reflect this with designs that go beyond simply installing new fixtures or upgrading the layout.

We place the wellbeing of pupils at the very centre of our projects, from the planning stage to the final handover. A real-life example of this is our refurbishment of a female washroom at Nigel Bowes Academy, which saw us construct two self-contained cubicles, each with their own toilet, vanity unit and sink.

Each cubicle was designed to provide the pupils with as much privacy as possible, right down to the full doors with minimal gaps underneath, and we will be happy to discuss additional design ideas with you during your consultation.

We Work Around School Hours

All of our school washroom refurbishment projects are completed on time and within budget. However, a full refurbishment can take a few weeks to complete, which is why we put measures in place on all of our projects to minimise disruption.

One such measure is to schedule our services outside of school hours whenever possible. Whether this is before the school day starts or after all the pupils have gone home, our adjustable project hours aim to reduce any disruptions or distractions whilst we complete the refurbishment.

That being said, there is no better way to work around school hours than by scheduling the project during the school holidays. The Christmas period is just around the corner, bringing with it the perfect opportunity to refurbish multiple washrooms, so contact us today to arrange your project.

We Minimise Onsite Disruption

If the washrooms at your school are in dire need of refurbishment, and the project cannot wait until Christmas, then don’t worry.

Every step of our project, from the construction of new walls to the installation of the final tap, is completed with minimal disruption for your pupils through a combination of:

• Sound Control: On past projects, we have constructed quiet zones away from the areas being refurbished, to minimise noise bleed.

• Temporary Areas: To keep pupils away from the building work and prevent learning disruption.

• Sealed Barriers: The physical separation between the classrooms and the sealed-off construction zones will stop any airborne contaminants from filtering through.

We Offer Sustainable Solutions

We must all do our part to protect the planet for future generations, and at Universal Contracting this means integrating energy and water-saving solutions into our washroom designs wherever possible.

We provide:

• Low flush toilets to save water.

• Leak-proof taps with internal shutoff systems.

• Automatic lighting systems linked to motion detectors.

So if you’ve noticed a dripping tap or a spike in your energy bill, then call us in to upgrade your school washrooms with more efficient fixtures.
