FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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 guarantees are offered?

Subject to appropriate cleaning and maintenance we offer the following guarantees:-

Framework – 25 years against failure within design, wind and snow loadings
Polycarbonate – 10 years against discolouration from sunlight
Fabric Cladding – 10 years against degradation / failure from sunlight

We aim for 100% satisfaction 100% of the time.

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.

Will there be any additional hidden charges to the quotation?

No, our prices are all inclusive.

I am writing to say how pleased we are with the new canopies which you recently installed at our school. The whole process, from initial visit to completion, was carried out most professionally with minimal disruption to school life. The installation team were courteous and helpful and took great care to ensure that the site was left clear and tidy. We are all delighted with our new facility, which is a massive improvement on what we had before. Thank you once again.

J Jarvis, Headteacher, Boughton Monchelsea 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

Clovis provides an excellent design service offering 2D and 3D drawing of the proposed canopies and quotation stage if required. This can be especially helpful to illustrate the proposed canopy to the client or Local planning Authority. Clovis will also visit the site if the host building has a complication or the canopy has an unusual configuration. When an order has been placed, service continues to be timely and flexible and the end product has always been delivered and installed on programme and to a very high standard. I have worked with Clovis Canopies for several years and have always found their response to be prompt, helpful an knowledgeable. We test the market value for every canopy that we procure and have found Clovis to be good value. I am often asked to pass on Clovis’s contact details to those who have seen the canopies.

Gawain Ferguson,

We have been very satisfied with the work. The installers have respected the work going on within the centre and have worked around us. We would highly recommend Clovis for standard of service.

S Warner, Little Forest Children's Centre

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.

S M Greenaway - Headteacher, Mereworth Primary

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

I’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge ‘thank you’ to everyone at your firm, for the patience and professionalism that has been shown to use here at the school, bearing in mind the length of time it has taken for this project to be completed!! The end result is fantastic. The build and finish are of high quality and already on our first day back at school we have received many compliments. On a personal note my headteacher, Elaine Cooper, would like to pass on her personal praise for the workmen that installed the canopy during August, they worked really hard and were always professional. Thank you. I will have no hesitation in recommending you to other schools in the area.
