Working with Schools

You've got lesson plans to sort, staff meetings to attend and a thousand other priorities before thinking about washroom facilities. The last thing you need is contractors who don't understand schools or create more problems than they solve.

“The kids noticed straight away, no rattles, no leaks, and the colours look brilliant. Macawʼs advice turned a quick fix into a long-term solution.ˮ
Craig Palmer. Site Manager, Rothley Primary School

Every Person on Site Will Have Clearance

There's no getting around it - anyone working in your school must be properly vetted. We've heard the stories about contractors who promise DBS checks then turn up with staff who "haven't quite got their paperwork through yet." Not acceptable when children's safety is at stake.

What we do differently: Our entire team comes DBS-checked before we even quote for work. No waiting around, no last-minute surprises, no excuses. We hand over certificates on day one because we understand safeguarding isn't negotiable in schools.

    Contact Macaw Washrooms Today

    Give us a bell on 01509 467417 or drop us an email at info@macaw-washrooms.co.uk. Because we understand the real challenges of secondary school washrooms. We've worked with enough schools to know what actually works and what just looks good in proposals. And we stand behind our work. Secondary school washrooms are a long-term investment - we make sure they deliver long-term value.

    The Summer Holiday Deadline Is Absolutely Final

    You get one shot at major building work - those precious weeks when children aren't around. Miss that window and you're looking at months of disruption, health and safety headaches and very unhappy staff trying to teach with builders wandering about.

    What we do differently: We work backwards from your first day of term and build proper contingency into every timeline. When we say finished by mid-August, we mean it. You, the client, won't be frantically calling us on the Sunday before term starts asking where we are.

    School Budgets Don't Stretch to Constant Repairs

    Every head teacher knows the pain of choosing between new textbooks and fixing the toilets again. You've probably learned the hard way that the cheapest quote often turns into the most expensive mistake when you're calling contractors back six months later.

    What we do differently: We price for facilities that last 15 years, not 3. Yes, our upfront costs might be higher than the cowboy who quoted half our price, but you won't be replacing everything when the next head takes over. We use materials designed for schools, not someone's bathroom at home.

    Children Test Everything to Breaking Point

    Little hands push buttons repeatedly, doors get slammed and somehow soap dispensers end up ripped off walls. Standard bathroom fittings simply don't survive the enthusiasm of 200 children using them daily. You need washrooms designed for real school life.

     What we do differently: Everything we install has been tested in actual schools. We know which door handles survive Year 3's enthusiasm and which soap dispensers still work after a term of use. Our installations don't just look good in the brochure - they work when faced with real children.
