Cycle Shelters

There are a number of schemes which encourage children to cycle to school and one of the best we have seen is 

BikeIt

With the government encouraging children to be more eco-friendly, purchasing secure cycle facilities, can help with this as well as encourage you to swap a car trip to walk, cycle or car share

http://www.changeyourworld.org.uk/. 

The safety of the roads often puts children off cycling to school. It is important for parents to feel at ease sending their children to school on bikes but if the ground is uneven or has pot holes this can often make parents keener to drive their children to school rather than allowing them to cycle. Encourage children to report these pot holes by entering the information on http://www.fillthathole.org.uk/. Once reported the local council will arrive shortly to fill in the pothole.

Thanks again!!

St Michaels CE Combined School

"We have had three canopies from Able over the last few years, and all are proving to be excellent investments. Assistance with planning is excellent and the work is always carried out safely and with the minimum of disruption by their construction team.  Their prices are extremely competitive and I would strongly recommend them to any school looking to enhance their outside play areas."

Wray Common School, Surrey

"We found Able offer a superb service at every stage, from the first visit and quotation through to installation and follow up service.

All Able contractors were a pleasure to have on our school site and were quick and efficient.And when we had heavy snow they were more than happy to advise and then came to put are sails back up without hesitation.Can't reccomend them highly enough."

Governor ,Sun Hill Infants School , Alresford, Hampshire

"The canopy we have had installed by your company has been an excellent addition to our Centre, the children are able to access our outside classroom nearly every day regardless of the weather. The UV protection within the canopy is fantastic as sun safety is paramount to our safe guarding procedures and policies. "

The Links Daycare Centre Ltd, Warwickshire

"Able Canopies are a proactive and efficient company that provided us with the best solution to the problem. They arrive on time and complete to scheduled deadlines and their workforce are polite and friendly. I have no hesitation in recommending them to my colleagues."

Notley High School, Braintree

"Although we (I) had a dream for fancy, sail type scenic beautiful canopies, the reality of costs and school budgets brought us to Able Canopies who were the cheapest quote! The canopies are ideal for school use, practical and sturdy. We were so satisfied with the first one, we've subsequently had a second one and both still look as good as the day they were fitted."

Head Teacher, Curzon CE Combined School

"The Able canopy that was installed at Potton Pre-school has enabled our children to enjoy outdoor play whatever the weather.  It was installed superbly by friendly and accommodating staff and the service provided by Able Canopies has been superb from start to finish.

Potton Pre School, Bedfordshire

The children have settled into our new premises brilliantly and enjoy the extra space and the protection from the elements that is provided by the canopy.  The canopy has already made a huge difference to the children and staffs at the pre-school, as the little ones are able to play outside even in the rain and snow.  It has already become an integral part of the building and an area that the children enjoy hugely."

Fairway Primary School, Stockport

“Able Canopies Ltd, have undertaken jobs at two of the schools I help maintain for Somerset County Council. One job was at Bowlish Infants School - Shepton Mallet which involved the construction of a new polycarbonate mono-pitched children’s shelter attached to the main building, which was carried out on time and to the quotation cost in a professional manner and to a well constructed standard.

The other job was carried out on my recommendation to the head at Horrington Primary School - Near Wells but under the heads direct management. This was a similar polycarbonate mono-pitched children’s shelter but erected in a difficult location attached to the main building but surrounded on three sides by existing structure. Although I didn’t deal directly with Able Canopies regards this job, I did inspect following construction and again I am happy with the works undertaken from a construction / appearance point of view.

Both heads of these schools have expressed their satisfaction in respect of the customer service and the way the works were undertaken on site as well as the quality of the finished product provided by Able Canopies Ltd.

I look forward to future working opportunities with your company and won’t hesitate to both recommend your services to others and hopefully utilising them again myself.”
