The sector

What we see in schools and education

Schools have specific safety, durability and hygiene requirements that drive the equipment choice. Most installs we do for schools focus on safe, robust mains-fed coolers in corridors and break-out areas, with a focus on encouraging students to refill rather than buy bottled water.

Specific concerns

What matters in a school

Schools and education typically raise the following considerations during a site survey:

  • Child safety, especially around boiling-water outlets
  • Robust hardware that survives heavy daily use
  • Easy cleaning and hygiene compliance
  • Predictable budgeting through the academic year
  • Coverage during term and serviceable in school holidays

What we recommend

Typical setups for schools and education

Based on dozens of similar installations, the equipment combinations we most often recommend for schools and education:

  • Mains-fed water coolers in corridors and break-out spaces
  • Bottle-refill style dispensers in PE and sports areas
  • Standard kettles or controlled-temperature taps in staffrooms (boiling-water taps need careful safety review)
  • Fixed monthly fee that aligns with school budgeting

See more on the equipment options on our services page.
