The Challenge

Brereton C E Primary School wanted to update their lighting scheme throughout, to not only to fix old and dimming bulbs, but to help bring costs down as part of future proofing savings. The school had initially planned on using a lease agreement to spread the cost over 5 to 7 years, however, with the help of WN1 the school applied for a government grant.

The Solution

After the initial audit, WN1 created designs for the Brereton C E Primary School board to review, once the designs and commercial benefits had been outlined and agreed and the schools grant application had been accepted, WN1 swiftly carried out the work across the complex.

As with all schools, disruption has to be kept to a minimum and pupil safety is always primary. WN1 always approach project delivery with this in mind and are experienced in working within schools and educational environments. With this in mind WN1 recommended the work was completed within the half-term period as an opportunity to avoid disruption to the education of the pupils. Also worth mentioning the work was delivered within a 48hr period.

"Our lighting in school was in desperate need of updating and we had been replacing fluorescent for LED here and there when funds allowed. Scott Steadman from WN1 contacted me at the perfect time. They came out to school, did a complete survey of the current lighting and put together a plan to replace all existing fluorescent with LED fittings. The quote came through quickly and was very informative about current electricity costs and savings that could be made. The original idea was to pay for the project through a lease agreement which spread the cost over 5 or 7 years. However, the government kindly gave us an additional grant to be spent on energy efficiency so we used this to fund the project."

"The work was completed in two days over the half term holidays with no disruption to school. The work was completed as per the quote, using quality fittings and where necessary ceiling tiles replaced. After the work had been completed the communication was excellent to make sure we were completely happy, and snagging was rectified within days of being reported.

We would highly recommend WN1 lighting solutions to take care of your lighting issues from beginning to end."
