College in East Reading

This large secondary school, located locally on the outskirts of Reading, has been a customer of ours since 2018. 

Throughout the years, we have completed a variety of different areas within the school including Polysafe Mosaic to the toilet areas, installing vinyl to the canteen as well as smaller areas such as staff toilets and thousands of square meters of carpet tiles.

One of our more memorable jobs at this school was the updating of the stage and step area. The previous flooring on the steps was a tired LVT wood plank with a carpet tile upstand. The client wanted us to replace both the LVT and upstands with the same carpet tiles we had used elsewhere in the building, whilst still keeping the existing nosings On completion of the job, the client was very happy with the overall finish and look of their new flooring. 

With the customer being pleased with our previous work, they again contacted us when they required new flooring in one of their large classrooms.  

Our estimator visited the site to measure the area and discuss any specific requirements which, in this instance, included updating the current carpet upstand around the perimeter of the room. To minimise disruption to the school, it was also requested that it was done during the school holidays which we catered to. 

The customer wanted the same carpet tile we had previously installed in other classrooms, as they were happy with its performance. This was a Gradus Latour 2 carpet tile. Gradus Latour 2 is a popular, durable, and attractive nylon carpet tile. Ideal for high-traffic areas in schools and colleges, this carpet tile has a tufted loop pile, a total thickness of 5.5mm, and is made with 75% recycled material. 

Once the customer was ready, we handled the entire process, including the removal and disposal of the old floor and wall tiles, subfloor and wall preparation, and installation of the new carpet on both the floor and walls. 

The new flooring freshened up the room ready for school to restart.
