Drainage for schools and academies

Drainage for schools and multi-academy trusts — holiday-scheduled planned works, safeguarding-compliant engineers and rapid term-time response.

Written for site managers and trust estates teams. 24/7 attendance across our 20-mile catchment from East Grinstead.

What site managers and trust estates teams are actually dealing with

  • A blocked toilet block during term time is an immediate closure risk.
  • Safeguarding requirements on anyone working on site during school hours.
  • Capital spend approvals that need a survey and costed report.
  • Ageing Victorian and 1960s drainage under playgrounds and field boundaries.

What we cover

  • Emergency toilet block and urinal drain clearance during term time
  • Planned holiday jetting of the full site drainage network
  • Playground and MUGA surface water drainage clearance
  • Kitchen grease trap and interceptor servicing
  • CCTV site surveys to support capital bid documents

Why schools and academies use us instead of a national

  • DBS-checked engineers who sign in and work to your safeguarding policy.
  • Major works scheduled into half-term and summer holidays.
  • Direct line to the engineer on site — no national call centre triage.
  • Named account contact, so you are not re-explaining the site every visit.
  • Same-day attendance across the East Grinstead 20-mile catchment, 24/7.

Questions site managers and trust estates teams ask us

Are your engineers DBS checked?

Yes. Every engineer attending a school holds an enhanced DBS certificate and carries photo ID, and we provide copies before first attendance.

Can major works be done in the holidays?

That is how we prefer to plan it. Full-site jetting, relining and excavation work goes into half-terms and the summer break, with only genuine emergencies attended during teaching hours.

Can you provide a survey report for a capital funding bid?

Yes. A WRc-coded CCTV survey with condition grading and a costed remedial schedule is exactly the evidence a condition-improvement bid needs.
