Fire Safety Works – Various Schools

Completed September 2019 – £710,000

Village Academy Trust & Whinless Down Academy Trust

As part of the yearly Condition Improvement Fund from the government as awarded to academies each spring, we was successful in winning the fire safety works to the following schools :

• Village Academy Trust
  • Lynstead and Norton Primary School
  • Milstead and Frinstead Primary School
  • Dymchurch Primary School
• Whinless Down Academy Trust
  • Vale View Primary School, Dover.

The works were similar throughout all the schools but mainly involved the removal of ACMs to the respective work areas, supply and installation of new fire rated doorsets throughout each school, installed by BM Trada Q Mark carpenters. New suspended ceilings, decorating, formation of external ramps for fire escapes, new aluminium doorsets to fire exits, new fire alarm and emergency lighting systems to each school and fire proofing to existing partitions and penetrations.

Works to all four schools were completed on time within the 6 week school holidays, with additional works completed in the following October half term.
