Facilities Maintenance for Schools and Education Settings

Safe, Compliant & Inspection-Ready - Across London & the South East

Schools and colleges operate under different pressures. Compliance requirements are strict, budgets are scrutinised, and any work that disrupts teaching time or affects the safety of pupils and staff is not an option.

Medlec provides planned and reactive facilities maintenance for independent schools and educational settings across London and the South East. We work with Banstead Preparatory School and The Mead School, and we understand what it takes to maintain a safe, well-functioning learning environment. Our engineers plan around term dates and work outside school hours where required. All engineers working in education settings are DBS checked.

What We Do for Education Settings

Electrical

Classroom lighting, distribution boards, emergency lighting, fixed wire testing. Our NICEIC Approved electricians keep your school safe and compliant. All planned work is scheduled around the school day and term calendar.

Fire safety

Fire safety in an education setting carries serious responsibility. We design, install and maintain fire alarm systems and emergency lighting to BS 5839, carry out fire risk assessments, and provide the full documentation your school site needs for compliance and insurance. Regular testing and servicing is scheduled to avoid disruption to pupils and staff.

HVAC

Classrooms that are too hot or too cold affect concentration and wellbeing. We install and maintain heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems across school buildings, with planned servicing timed to school holidays wherever possible.

Security

Access control, intruder alarms and CCTV are designed for the specific requirements of an education environment, controlling site access, protecting pupils and staff, and giving your leadership team confidence that the building is secure.

Building maintenance

Roof repairs, joinery, decoration, and groundworks. We carry out the reactive repairs and planned maintenance that keeps your buildings in good order. A well-maintained site matters to parents, pupils and inspectors.

24/7 Emergency call out

When something fails overnight or over a holiday period, it needs to be resolved before school reopens. Our on-call team is available 365 days a year with fully stocked vans and a first-time fix as the goal every time.
