For schools and colleges, a good heating system is not a luxury. If you work in education, you need to follow guidelines and satisfy regulations that other commercial premises simply don’t need to consider.

St Christopher School in Letchworth Garden City consists of a junior school, a senior school and a boarding house, while facilities include an indoor swimming pool and a drama studio. The school needs a servicing partner it can rely on to keep everything running smoothly, and react quickly to problems to prevent temporary closure.

The minimum temperature for school classrooms is 18 degrees C (higher in low-activity areas) so the 361 Servicing team focuses on maintaining heating systems. Our engineers are also trained to help facilities managers improve efficiency, as research shows better management of heating, cooling and air flow can halve the energy used in secondary schools.

All our education contracts are designed with the unique needs of schools in mind. We schedule work during school holidays at no extra cost, although all our engineers are DBS checked, so they’re ready to deal with breakdowns whenever you need them.
