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.
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 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.
Will I require planning permission?: We always advise that you call your local planning authority as there are no hard and fast rules. They will advise on whether you require planning permission for your proposed canopy. Although it differs from region to region canopies under 30m2 may not require permission but this can be affected by situations such as proximity to neighbours, listed building status, conservation areas etc. so it always best to check. We are happy to provide free of charge, scaled drawings etc. of the proposed canopy structure to assist your application should you require.
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

The canopy looks stunning. The installation process has been completed very efficiently. Thank you to all involved.

I just wanted to write and say thank you for the recent installation of the canopy on our school grounds. Students, staff and governors are delighted with the result and the extra panels that were fitted over the Easter break have made the project complete. Our students seem to like the shelter more and more and when our new picnic tables arrive shortly we will have achieved our objective of creating a great place for them to sit, eat and socialise over morning break and lunch time. Thanks again and maybe in the future you might like to pass our way and call in and see for yourself how much the space is used each and everyday.

L Hartman, School Business Manager, Humphry Davy School

I am writing on behalf of staff, governors and pupils to thank you for the excellent canopy which you erected on our school site. We have had a variety of positive comments about the finished structure. I wanted to thank you personally for the care and professional manner in which you set about surveying and quoting for this canopy. We were particularly impressed by the way that you attended to particular requested and necessary changes need to the basic structure (repositioning uprights to avoid doors, gutters, flashing etc). The team who built the canopy were so careful and thorough in their work and the finish of cement areas, paving slabs etc is excellent. I particularly want to thank you for the after installation care for detail which your company attended to. For example any minor details which could not be done during erection such as painting small scratches. This is most commendable to have this after sales service. I have had no qualms in recommending your firm on grounds of value for money, installation and product to other colleagues. Please would you thank all those concerned including the fabricators in the factory.

D Howlett - Headteacher, Longcot and Fernham Primary

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.
