Clayton Hall Academy

Our Client:

Clayton Hall Academy is a secondary school in Newcastle-under-Lyme and has provided a supportive educational environment since 1947. The historical building has expanded in recent decades, with a teaching block built in 1963, a technology block built in 1978, and a sports hall built in 1995.

The Briefing:

In accordance with maintaining high standards within the school, Clayton Hall Academy hired Ford Mainwaring to assess and improve the heating and pipework across several areas of the campus. The 12-month project proved to be a success, and we’d like to share the work we did across the following areas of the school:

• The Old Hall
• Main ICT & Science block
• Gym
• Technology block
• Chapel

Across these five areas, Ford Mainwaring consisted of a complete mechanical services replacement programme, including air conditioning systems, and building management systems (BMS) installation.

Over 12 months, Ford Mainwaring engineers and project managers were tasked with:

• Removing oil-fired boilers, oil tanks, radiators, and pipe system
• Install air conditioning with BMS controls
• Installation of a new heating system throughout
• An extension will be constructed to the main plant room following the excavation
• Asbestos removal and strip-out

In the end:

As this work spanned over 12 months, Ford Mainwaring was on site during school hours, striving to be considerate and cause as little disruption as possible. We were pleased with the outcome and would be proud to work with Clayton Hall Academy and United Endeavour Trust again in the future.
