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.

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

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

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 the staff, pupils and governors to thank you for the excellent canopy erected by your company during the school summer holidays. The canopy is a tremendous asset to the school in providing a superb all weather activity area for our reception pupils. The assistance of yourself and your colleagues at Clovis has been greatly appreciated and has resulted in a structure which has truly enhanced our school. Our thanks must also go to your site erection team who undertook their work in a prompt, polite and professional manner. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Clovis Canopies to any other school or educational establishment who are considering undertaking a similar project.

J Lees, Headteacher, Langton Green Primary

We would like to take this opportunity of thanking Clovis Canopies for supplying and installing a superb shade canopy over our Foundation Stage play area which is proving to be “all weather”! The work was completed on schedule and to our complete satisfaction. Your company listened to our requests, provided a canopy which met all our requirements and was constructed with the minimum of fuss whilst the school was in session. The tradesmen who erected the canopy were most accommodating to the needs of the children and school and arranged their work schedule around the children’s play times. No request was ever too much trouble. I was particularly impressed with the regard the workmen paid to health and safety and with keeping the worksite clean and tidy. I also have to congratulate you on your professionalism and aftercare service, which has been second to none. A huge thank you to all of your staff. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Clovis Canopies.
