Public Transport Canopies

Passenger transfer and protection structures for Airports, Railways, Bus Stops etc.

Protect waiting lift users

As part of the “Railways for All Strategy” which was launched in 2006, there was a need identified to give disabled customers access to all platforms where no other safe alternative means of access is available, therefore leading to the provision of new “User Friendly” footbridges, with obstacle-free lift access. Part of the brief is to include entrance canopies at the lift doors to protective waiting areas for customers during inclement weather.

Pedestrian entrance canopies

Entrance canopies or porches, not only can they serve as an architectural focal feature but they also give the practical benefits of providing protection from the weather whilst unlocking, queuing or waiting for access into the building.

Covered Walkways

As sites expand, facilities including car parking can become detached from the main building. We offer a range of purpose built walkway systems to enable the safe and dry transition between buildings and facilities.

We also provide canopies for the following industries:

Our school has previously had numerous canopies built around it with different companies and sub-contractors involved, but Clovis has provided the most skillful and effective workforce to date! I would thoroughly recommend you to other schools! Congratulations and thank you for a job well done.

Carole Allan - School Business Manager, Churchfields Infants' School

Crosby-on-Eden Primary School has just had one of your canopies fitted over an outside play area for the reception and nursery classroom. I wish you to know that this is the most superb structure and exactly what we wanted. It is very stylish and has been greatly admired by governors, staff, children and parents. I also want to tell you that the help we received from Douglas Cox has been exceptional. I also want you to know that Warren & Anthony who came to carry out the work were the most pleasant, helpful, efficient and ‘warm’ workman that I have had the pleasure of working with. I am sure you will let them know of my gratitude to them and, of course, your company.

M Briggs, Chairman of Governors, Crosby-on-Eden Primary

I am writing on behalf of the staff, pupils and governors to thank you for the excellent canopy erected by your company during the school summer holidays. The canopy is a tremendous asset to the school in providing a superb all weather activity area for our reception pupils. The assistance of yourself and your colleagues at Clovis has been greatly appreciated and has resulted in a structure which has truly enhanced our school. Our thanks must also go to your site erection team who undertook their work in a prompt, polite and professional manner. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Clovis Canopies to any other school or educational establishment who are considering undertaking a similar project.
