FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you fix your canopies directly onto tarmac?

No, all canopies are fixed on to concrete pads or bases as the structures can lift out from the ground if not fixed into a suitable concrete base due to the uplift created by wind acting on the roof area.

How are the fabric sheets attached to the framework?

Fabric sheets are securely attached all round using an aluminium cladding rail system, which has been tried, tested and proven for over 30 years.

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.

What guarantees are offered?

Subject to appropriate cleaning and maintenance we offer the following guarantees:-

Framework – 25 years against failure within design, wind and snow loadings
Polycarbonate – 10 years against discolouration from sunlight
Fabric Cladding – 10 years against degradation / failure from sunlight

We aim for 100% satisfaction 100% of the time.

Will our concerns over children and staff safety be addressed prior to installation?

We have been working within schools for many years. All contractors are Clovis approved and CRB checked. Full risk assessments are carried out prior to starting installation taking into consideration your requirements and safety fencing is erected wherever needed at no additional charge.

Crosby-on-Eden Primary School has just had one of your canopies fitted over an outside play area for the reception and nursery classroom. I wish you to know that this is the most superb structure and exactly what we wanted. It is very stylish and has been greatly admired by governors, staff, children and parents. I also want to tell you that the help we received from Douglas Cox has been exceptional. I also want you to know that Warren & Anthony who came to carry out the work were the most pleasant, helpful, efficient and ‘warm’ workman that I have had the pleasure of working with. I am sure you will let them know of my gratitude to them and, of course, your company.

M Briggs, Chairman of Governors, Crosby-on-Eden Primary

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

B France,, Fairfield Infants

I am writing to express our satisfaction with our two new canopies, which will provide cover for our students at break and lunch times. We have found the staff of your company very professional from the outset, flexible in their approach and producing workmanship of a high standard. In particular, the construction team caused the least amount of disruption to our school working day. We would like to thank Gary, Warren and the team for all their hard work and would be pleased to recommend your product and your company to other schools.

M East, Finance & Resources Manager,, Goffs School

We have been very satisfied with the work. The installers have respected the work going on within the centre and have worked around us. We would highly recommend Clovis for standard of service.

S Warner, Little Forest Children's Centre

Just a word of appreciation for the canopy that you supplied and fitted for us. Very favourable comments have been received by all that have seen it. If has been a pleasure dealing with your company throughout the process, from start to finish, which has been conducted in a very professional manner. Please pass our appreciation to all that contributed to the final product.

M. Tonet, Nephco Ltd

We just wanted to record our thanks for the work that your company completed at our school over half term. The canopy is superb and has been much admired – not least by the children who enclose their own thanks. It really transforms the courtyard into a much more versatile area which will now be well used throughout the year. Thank you, too, to your workman/men who were so helpful. Our caretaker lady, Betty, who I believe you met, was full of praise for their approachability and hard work. The site was left spotless – not always the case! We hope to erect two smaller canopies during the next couple of years and will be in touch regarding quotations. With thanks on behalf of the staff, governors and children at our school.
