At Ashley Junior School, we recently completed a full flooring upgrade across multiple classrooms. The school required a durable, safe, and low-maintenance solution that would improve the overall learning environment, while also being installed within a tight timescale during the summer holiday period. Our team managed everything from moving classroom furniture to repairing the existing subfloors, ensuring a smooth transition and a high-quality finish ready for the new school year.

This project highlights our ability to deliver efficient, reliable flooring installations for education settings, where safety, durability, and timing are all essential.

Client Requirements

During the initial consultation, the school outlined their key priorities:

Improved Safety & Cleanliness

The existing flooring had become worn and difficult to maintain. A fresh, modern carpet was required to reduce dust retention, improve comfort, and provide a safer surface for pupils.

Subfloor Repairs

Several areas had noticeable dips and uneven patches. To prevent future issues and achieve a flawless finish, the subfloors needed levelling and repairing before any new flooring could be installed.

Minimal Disruption

All works had to be completed during the summer holiday window, with classrooms fully reinstated before staff returned.

Our team carried out a detailed site survey to assess all rooms, identify subfloor defects, and plan how the work could be completed efficiently and with minimal disruption.

Our Flooring Solution

To meet the school’s requirements, we delivered a comprehensive installation process that included:

1. Temporary Furniture Removal

Before work could begin, all classroom furniture was carefully moved and stored, allowing safe access to the full floor area.

2. Subfloor Preparation & Repairs

We removed the existing flooring and inspected the original subfloor. Preparation included:

• Repairing damaged or loose areas
• Latex levelling to smooth uneven surfaces and achieve a uniform finish
• Applying primer to ensure strong adhesion

Proper subfloor work is essential in school environments, where flooring must remain durable under heavy daily use.

3. Installation of New Carpet

We installed a high-performance carpet tile system designed specifically for education and commercial environments. This product offers:

• Exceptional durability
• Reduced noise levels
• Improved comfort underfoot
• Easy maintenance and spot replacement

4. Reinstatement of Classrooms

After installation, all furniture was returned to its original layout, leaving classrooms clean, tidy, and ready for teaching.
