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.
Can we view existing canopies, so that we know what we are buying?: If you are considering purchasing a canopy from any company, it is in fact strongly recommended that you visit an existing installation to see exactly what you are paying for. At Clovis Canopies we are proud of our work and are happy to arrange (with the clients consent) for you to view examples of our work and structures.
Are your canopies usable all year in all weathers?: Yes unlike some solutions that need to be taken down in the winter or during high winds our canopies are designed to be useable all year round. The cladding materials as well as providing shade are also waterproof so that they can be used during wet weather.
Do you fix your canopies directly onto tarmac?: No, all canopies are fixed on to concrete pads or bases as the structures can lift out from the ground if not fixed into a suitable concrete base due to the uplift created by wind acting on the roof area.

Hi, I would like to thank your staff for the excellent job on the canopy, I have had reports from the classroom staff and the admin team and all have said how polite your guys were, how well the work was carried out with minimum disturbance to the daily life of the children, many thanks.

R Dray, Site Manager, Foxwood School

We are very pleased with how they look and that they will be a ‘boon’ for our children in terms of shade and rain protection. However my main reason for writing is that I am very pleased with the way in which your staff Martin Sears and Timothy Barclay, have carried out the project. The space we used for the canopies is a main thoroughfare to our playgrounds. They have managed to keep this are very tidy and safe throughout the week so that we can function as a school without any inconvenience. This was mainly due to Martin and Timothy, who in addition to doing such a good job have worked exceptionally well, ensuring ‘business as usual’ and have been very friendly with staff and children. They are a credit to your company and I hope that you will let them know that I have followed up my appreciation of them with this letter.

I am writing to express our satisfaction with our two new canopies, which will provide cover for our students at break and lunch times. We have found the staff of your company very professional from the outset, flexible in their approach and producing workmanship of a high standard. In particular, the construction team caused the least amount of disruption to our school working day. We would like to thank Gary, Warren and the team for all their hard work and would be pleased to recommend your product and your company to other schools.

M East, Finance & Resources Manager,, Goffs School

Extremely happy with the aesthetically pleasing design, build quality and courteous, cheerful workmen who erected the canopy. The children are proud of their new outdoor learning area and the staff keen to develop the Early Years Curriculum. A pleasure doing business with you and your team.
