A building that reflects your school's character

We believe that a modular primary building should not only be functional but also visually appealing. We offer a range of external finishes that can either blend seamlessly with existing infrastructure or stand out as a modern addition to your school.

A robust and practical solution, plastic-coated steel cladding is known for its long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance requirements. It is highly resistant to scratching, fading, and corrosion—making it perfect for high-traffic environments. Available in a wide palette of colours, it allows you to reflect school branding or simply brighten the building with welcoming tones.

A sustainable and aesthetic choice, timber cladding gives a natural look that enhances the building’s surroundings. We use sustainably sourced woods such as Siberian Larch or Western Red Cedar, which are naturally durable and weather-resistant.

Offering the classic appeal of a traditional build, brick slip provides a timeless look that blends seamlessly into urban or traditional environments. Brick slips are particularly popular for schools in conservation areas or locations with strict planning guidelines.

A contemporary alternative to timber, composite cladding mimics the texture and warmth of wood but is made from a blend of recycled materials. It’s incredibly durable, won’t warp or crack, and requires almost no upkeep—making it ideal for busy school environments. Available in a wide range of woodgrain finishes and colours, it offers style and substance in equal measure.

Rainscreen systems offer both performance and design flexibility. Panels like Trespa or Rockpanel provide a ventilated façade that enhances thermal performance while protecting against moisture ingress. These finishes are available in a variety of colours, patterns, and textures—enabling bold, creative expressions of your school’s visual identity. They are ideal for modern designs and locations exposed to harsh weather conditions.

A render finish gives buildings a clean, crisp appearance with excellent insulation benefits. It can be smooth or textured and coloured to suit any architectural style—from soft neutrals to bold accent tones. Render is also highly adaptable, allowing you to match adjacent buildings or create a modern visual break from traditional structures. It’s a great choice for schools seeking energy efficiency with sleek aesthetics.
