School Redecoration & Step Repairs Northwood

Project overview

Redecoration work at Hillside School in Northwood, planned around the school so classes could carry on. We painted the walls and woodwork in the main sports hall, the ground and first-floor corridors, the stairwell and the toilets, masking every socket, switch and fitting and protecting the floors throughout. Outside, we repaired the playground steps: cracked and broken slabs dealt with, a damaged slab replaced, and the joints raked out and repointed so the steps are solid and safe again. We've since been back for a quick rescue mission: school sports halls take a real hammering, so we repaired the damage, prepped the battered wall and finished it in a clean, hard-wearing coat of ‘Polished Pebble’.

Return visit

Back to repair the sports hall wall

Sports halls take a hammering, so we came back to repair the damage, prep the battered wall and finish it in a hard-wearing coat of ‘Polished Pebble’.
