Safety and accessibility

When refurbishing primary school washrooms, it is essential to prioritise safety and accessibility. We specialise in designing spaces that are perfectly tailored to young users and fully compliant with DfE regulations. Our expertise ensures that fixtures are installed at child-friendly heights, non-slip flooring is used to enhance safety and emergency-accessible locks are fitted as standard.

We also pay special attention to the needs of children with disabilities and special educational needs to ensure that our washrooms are inclusive for everyone. By following Document M and British Standards, we help schools create safe and welcoming environments for all young learners.

Hygiene and easy maintenance

Understanding the critical importance of hygiene in primary schools, Focus Washrooms designs facilities that are both sanitary and easy to maintain. Our use of materials and surfaces that are simple to clean and resistant to bacteria helps maintain a high standard of hygiene.

We can incorporate touch-free technology, such as sensor taps and automatic soap dispensers, to minimise the spread of germs and reduce water wastage. Our designs also consider the requirements of cleaning staff by ensuring that the washrooms can be kept in pristine condition with minimal effort. Using hygienic wall cladding and seamless flooring prevents dirt traps and ensures a long-lasting, fresh environment.
