School Decoration
Classroom walls are looking bare right now, since artwork cannot be displayed, so we’re here to help!
If you would like to add some vibrant colours to the walls, wipe vinyl wall coverings, or simply tidy up the decor, we can provide decoration services or perform a comprehensive school refurbishment.
Washrooms
We design washrooms for schools that facilitate cleaning and maintaining excellent hygiene levels. At a time when hygiene is more essential in schools than ever before, we’re focussing on reducing touch points in washrooms and using products that facilitate high hygiene levels, such as:
- Sensor taps
- Senor flushes for toilets and urinals
- Hygienic cladding on walls
- Vinyl cap and cove flooring
Partitioning
To support your school’s social distancing efforts, JBH can install partitioning to create new classrooms in open plan areas, including halls and spacious corridors.
We can install glazed or composite partitioning with acoustic properties.

When is the Best Time to Start Planning a School Refurbishment?
The scale of your school refurbishment will determine when to start planning and when to start the refurbishment. For major fit outs, we recommend that the work should place during the summer school holidays to prevent any disruption to pupils and teachers. A summer holiday refurbishment should be planned at least six weeks in advance to secure delivery of materials and labour.
Of course, the summer holidays is not always a preferable time for everyone. Some things just can’t wait. Therefore, we can undertake the work in phases, utilising the half term breaks where possible.
All of our onsite officials are fully DBS checked, therefore we can carry out refurbishments during school hours if required.
Regular School Maintenance
Schools undergo enormous wear and tear during a school year. Some more than others. The fact is, it can be difficult to stay on top of your ‘to do’ list. That’s where we come in. We provide regular maintenance services for schools throughout London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
JBH is your primary contact for all you school maintenance. We can take care of odd jobs, decoration, repairs and of course larger refurbishments.
We can carry out small maintenance projects for your school all year round, it doesn’t have to just wait until the holidays! All of our onsite operatives have an up-to-date DBS check for your peace of mind and can also carry out work out of school hours too.
