“Excellent service from G&H. They installed new fire doors and emergency lighting throughout our premises with zero disruption to our daily operations. The team was punctual, tidy, and extremely knowledgeable about the latest fire safety codes. It’s a relief to know our building is fully compliant and our staff and children are safe. We’ll definitely be using them for our ongoing maintenance.”

OVERVIEW
Manor Wood Primary School needed an urgent upgrade to its emergency lighting and
several non-compliant fire doors to ensure the site was safe, reliable, and fully compliant
with regulations. With support from Eddisons, Owlcotes Multi-Academy Trust secured
funding through the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) to implement these essential improvements.
Following a competitive tender, G&H was appointed to deliver the project. Our FIRAS-certified specialists installed fire doors and fire-rated screens, while the emergency lighting
system was upgraded to meet Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) standards for educational settings. To guarantee complete safety, we also carried out a
thorough asbestos survey and a comprehensive fire safety assessment.
G&H provided full training for school staff to ensure they could operate and maintain the new systems with confidence. Manor Wood Primary School is now fully compliant, with a safer environment where staff and students can focus on learning.
