Why pre planned maintenance is vital for schools

Why is pre planned maintenance vital for schools?
Pre planned maintenance schedules are a must for all schools. This type of forward planning enables you to ensure that any down time, due to engineering work, occurs when the school holidays are in full swing and not when the classrooms are full.

For most schools, external drainage work is undertaken 6 monthly and ideally in the UK will commence in April and October. April to wash away the winter debris? grit, caked mud, fallen branches and other items that get flushed into the drainage systems over the colder months especially with all the rain we have encountered recently. Late October, will be to clear fallen leaves and prepare for the British winter. So,let’s stop the puddles forming and let the drains flow and soak away underground and out of sight. This works out fabulously for schools as the renewable drainage services can be set to coincide with the Easter Holidays and October half term.

When is the best time to book in pre planned maintenance?

Aside from the benefit to your drains, the schools we work with also tell us that these dates work well in terms of visual presentation. School visitor numbers/parental traffic increases in both the summer term and the run up to Christmas, with sports days, graduation, concerts and open days. It is amazing what a difference a good drain clean can make to your school grounds and image; clearing the moss and weeds that flourish so well in and around the drains, and ensuring a cleaner environment for everyone.

Make sure your school performs and looks it best. Act now and book your 6 monthly visits now to secure April & October dates for now and future years.
