Washrooms

Washrooms that survive a school, finished in a holiday.

We refurbish and install washrooms and toilet blocks for schools and commercial buildings. One contractor takes the job from strip out through the building works, the wall cladding, flooring, IPS panelling and sanitaryware, to the mechanical and electrical services behind it.

What we do

A full washroom, not just the fittings

Seven trades on one order, sequenced by the people doing the work. That is what keeps a washroom refurbishment on programme.

01

Strip out

The old cubicles, sanitaryware, tiling and fittings removed and cleared from site.

02

Building works

Walls, floors and openings altered as the new layout needs, before any fittings go in.

03

IPS panelling

Cisterns, pipework and valves concealed behind removable panels, with access kept for maintenance.

04

Cubicles and sanitaryware

Cubicles, WCs, urinals, trough and vanity basins and taps, specified for heavy use.

05

Cladding and flooring

Altro Whiterock hygienic wall cladding and Altro safety flooring: wipe clean, with no grout lines to fail.

06

Mechanical services

Hot and cold water, drainage and extract ventilation, installed by a WIAPS approved plumbing team.

07

Electrical services

Lighting, power, hand dryers and controls, installed and certified by an NICEIC Approved Contractor.

Eight cubicles. One summer holiday.

At Cranbourne Primary School we stripped out the old tiled toilets and rebuilt them completely, and handed the washrooms back before the pupils returned.

How it runs

From survey to handover

01

Survey

We look at the washrooms, the layout you want and what sits behind the walls.

02

Quotation

A layout and a clear written price covering building works, fittings and services.

03

Programme

Dates fixed around your building, whether that is a holiday or a phased handover.

04

Strip out

The old washroom cleared and the room prepared for the new layout.

05

Services

Drainage, water, ventilation, lighting and power run before the panels close the walls.

06

Handover

Panelling, cubicles and sanitaryware installed, tested and handed over with certificates.

Common questions

Can the work be done in a school holiday?

That is how we plan school washrooms. The survey, the design and the ordering happen in term time so that the strip out starts on the first day of the holiday and the room is handed back before the pupils return.

Do you do the building work as well?

Yes. A full washroom installation from us includes the building works, not just the fittings, so you are not holding a separate builder to our programme or ours to theirs.

What is IPS panelling?

An integrated plumbing system. The cisterns, pipework and valves sit behind removable panels rather than on show, which looks better, gives less for people to pull at, and still leaves access for maintenance.

Why cladding rather than tiles?

Tiled walls fail at the grout. It discolours, cracks and gives dirt somewhere to sit, and in a school it takes a beating. We use Altro Whiterock hygienic wall cladding with Altro safety flooring, which gives a continuous wipe clean surface with no grout lines, and the floor is slip resistant.

Do you install the ventilation and lighting too?

Yes. We install the extract ventilation, the lighting and the power as part of the same job, certified by an NICEIC Approved Contractor, so the whole room is handed over by one contractor.

Do you work in occupied buildings?

Yes. In an occupied building we agree which washrooms come out of use and when, and phase the work so there is always provision available.

Which areas do you cover?

We work across London, Hertfordshire and the South East, including Hertford, Welwyn Garden City, Ware, Hoddesdon and Stevenage.
