FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Will our concerns over children and staff safety be addressed prior to installation?: We have been working within schools for many years. All contractors are Clovis approved and CRB checked. Full risk assessments are carried out prior to starting installation taking into consideration your requirements and safety fencing is erected wherever needed at no additional charge.
Do you use Polycarbonate, PETG, GRP or Acrylic for non fabric cladding?: At Clovis Canopies we use polycarbonate roofing as although slightly more expensive, we find it has a better combination of strength, impact resistance, sheet size and colour, fire / flame resistance and longevity of life than any of the other above mentioned cheaper materials.
How is the polycarbonate sheeting attached to the framework?: We use a two part glazing bar on our canopies with rubber gasket or cushions to attach the roof polycarbonate sheets as this allows for the expansion of the sheets as the weather heats up or cools down. The rubber gaskets as well as creating a watertight seal greatly reduce noise levels as the sheets expand and contract. We do not screw sheets directly to the framework as this can lead to the roofing sheets buckling and potentially causing leaks due to the possibility of screw heads popping off. In addition to this we never lap one sheet over the other as this can result in an algae build-up resulting in unsightly discoloured patches in the roof.
What further peace of mind can you give us before we place an order?: We are a sound, family run company with a high credit rating, which has been manufacturing and installing modular steel buildings for over 45 years. A great deal of our work comes from repeat business and recommendations from existing customers (references available on request). We aim for 100% satisfaction 100% of the time. As well as being CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Scheme) accredited, Construction Line registered we are a approved contractor to many Local Authorities and large building contractors. You will be allocated a dedicated Contract Manager who can be contacted to answer any questions that you may have at any point in the process.

We would like to thank you and your colleagues at Clovis for all the help you gave us, especially during construction week! We would particularly like to pass on our thanks for your choice of contractors. Martin was helpful, polite and nothing was too much trouble. He was prompt and tidy which we appreciated as a lot of the work was on the schools property, not ours. We are very pleased with our canopy and look forward to a long hot summer outside, many thanks.

R James, Riverside Pre-School

We just wanted to record our thanks for the work that your company completed at our school over half term. The canopy is superb and has been much admired – not least by the children who enclose their own thanks. It really transforms the courtyard into a much more versatile area which will now be well used throughout the year. Thank you, too, to your workman/men who were so helpful. Our caretaker lady, Betty, who I believe you met, was full of praise for their approachability and hard work. The site was left spotless – not always the case! We hope to erect two smaller canopies during the next couple of years and will be in touch regarding quotations. With thanks on behalf of the staff, governors and children at our school.

S Searle-Barnes - Headteacher, Shoreham Beach First School

Many thanks for the installation of the canopy.I would like to congratulate you and your company on the professionalism of the project and also the installation team who worked extremely well and organised themselves and their deliveries etc in a very organised and timely manner. Please feel free to offer our school as a reference to any potential future customers you may have. The School are very pleased with the canopy.

J Crittenden, Snodland Primary

Just to let you know how pleased we are with our lovely new shelter. It looks great and fits in very well with our entrance. Will send you photo when we take one. Also wanted to congratulate your workmen on how polite and accommodating they were to schools needs. They are exceptionally sympathetic about children and parents using the entrance while they were working and went out of their way to please everybody in school. They were pleasure to have on the premises. Please pass on our thanks to them and to the Contract Manager who made everything happen so smoothly.
