FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

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 are Building Regulations and will they affect me?: In relation to our canopies Building Regulations specify the standard to which they should be built i.e. strength, fire rating of materials etc. Again it is advisable to contact your local Building Control officer(s), as a rule of thumb any canopy over 30m2 will require conformity to building regulations and an application will need to be made although this figure can be lower. Most of our structures are supplied conforming to the requirements for these regulations as standard and generic sets of structural calculations can be supplied free of charge to demonstrate to Building Control the integrity of the proposed structure and foundations.
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.
What colour can the framework be?: Each canopy framework is supplied in the colour of choice from the standard RAL range. A match for most school colour schemes can be found with that range if required.

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 would like to take this opportunity to thank the two fitters who worked on our canopy. They were very co-operative and professional in their work, and kept us informed throughout. They were also very safety conscious and considered the safety of the children at all times. We were very impressed and would recommend them.

L Denyer, owner., Early Steps Pre-School

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.
