Facilities management for schools, colleges & universities
DBS-checked teams, holiday-period deep cleans and compliance that stands up to an Ofsted or estates audit.
What makes these buildings different
Every estate has its own failure modes. These are the ones that decide whether a contract works here.
The estate empties, then fills again
Term time allows almost no disruptive work. The holidays are when deep cleans, decoration, flooring and plant replacement all have to land — in the same six weeks, without overrunning.
Safeguarding is not negotiable
Anyone on site during term time is on site with children or young people. Vetting, identification and supervision have to be right every single day, for agency cover as much as for permanent staff.
Inspection can arrive without much notice
Compliance records need to be current and retrievable, not reconstructed from a filing cabinet the week before.
How we run them
- Enhanced DBS-checked staff, with the same named team on site each day
- Term-time daily cleaning specified room by room, including science and design areas
- Holiday-period deep cleans, floor restoration and decoration planned a term ahead
- PPM on boilers, ventilation, fire systems and legionella control around the academic calendar
- Site security, lock-up and out-of-hours alarm response
- Compliance records live in the portal, exportable for governors and inspectors
Compliance in this sector
The obligations that shape how work is specified, staffed and evidenced here.
- Enhanced DBS checks and single central record support
- Safeguarding induction for every person attending site
- Water hygiene and legionella control to ACOP L8, including holiday flushing regimes
