Built around the school day

A school site has to be safe while children are on it. Our staff all hold Enhanced DBS checks, sign in like any visitor and work to the school's own site rules.

Noisy or disruptive work is planned around the timetable. Bigger projects, like fencing or pitch renovation, sit in the holidays so the site is back in use before the children are.

Site managers get one contact who answers the phone. When something is broken, damaged or unsafe, you tell us once and it gets dealt with.

For academy trusts with more than one site

Trusts spend a lot of time chasing different contractors across different schools. We maintain grounds across whole portfolios, so every site gets the same standard, the same paperwork and one invoice line.

That is how we work with a multi-site trust in the North West now. Their estates team told us the sites are presented well all year and called our communication prompt and proactive. The full reference is on our references page.

Pitches your PE department will thank you for

We cut, mark and care for school pitches through the season, then renovate them in summer so they come back better each September.

Lines are marked by our GPS guided robot, so they are straight, square and consistent every time. No string lines and no wobbly halfway line on sports day.
