Moveable wall servicing in education sector hits all time high

2020-11-25

The ongoing need to deliver Covid-safe space for staff and pupils has led to a surge in demand from schools, colleges and universities for the servicing, maintenance, upgrading or replacement of their moveable wall and folding partitioning systems.  

According to Andy Gibson, director for the north of Style Partitions - the UK’s leading moveable wall specialist, it’s service and repair division has never been busier.

“Operable walls play a vital role in allowing education establishments to comply with social distancing rules whilst continuing to teach,” said Andy, “and this has caused a dramatic increase in enquiries from within the sector. 

“Many educational facilities now benefit from one or more partitioning wall systems, allowing smaller bubbles of students to be safely taught in separate classrooms.

“As with any product, the functionality, reliability and longevity of a wall can be dramatically improved with routine servicing and timely repairs.”

With the current pandemic, it has never been more important to ensure moveable and folding walls are in safe good working order and meeting the requirements of the health & safety at work act along with the PUWER regulations.

With over 20 years’ experience in the design and installation of market-leading moveable wall systems, Style offers a comprehensive aftercare service supported by a nationwide team of maintenance technicians operating from four regional offices.  

Fully trained, the engineers are accredited to service and repair all makes of moveable wall, even ones that Style didn’t originally install, from fully automatic systems to simple folding partitions.

Style’s teams are continuously trained and assessed in health and safety, asbestos awareness, risk assessment and PASMA certified. Style is also CHAS and Constructionline Gold accredited.
