"The Canopy has made a big difference to how we use our outside area and also added an attractive space for our children to play safely out of the sun and they can be outside in all weather conditions. We had no shade or protection from the weather and the canopy has given us this. We are really pleased with the way the canopy was installed and the service we received from Able Canopies."
Pre School Manager - Little Clacton Pre School - Essex - View Installation...
"The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the service we received was efficient and professional. Having our awning in place has made a huge difference to our pre-school. The children are able to have much more access to the outdoors which they love. We have been able to do more outdoor activities such as planting seeds and growing vegetables, and offer new fun and stimulating learning opportunities whilst enjoying the benefits of being outside. It is even better than we anticipated and we have received lots of positive feedback from the community. The children love it and we have been able to build it into a learning opportunity for them as they recognise the importance of keeping safe in the sun."

Owner/Manager - Tiny Hearts Day Nursery, Merseyside - View Installation...
"I would like to take this opportunity to write just before your team leaves our school site to say a huge thank you to the company for their professionalism and outstanding hard work.
The pre-site inspection and meeting were very reassuring to me as a manager who has the duty and care of the children and staff as a priority.
We would also like to congratulate the outstanding work of your construction team. They have been working in some terrible weather and have kept to time perfectly. They have been polite, courteous and more than helpful to both staff, parents and children. Safety has been their priority at all times.
We have been able to welcome them into our school for a couple of lunchtimes without hesitation and they have even provided a brief 'learning opportunity' for our pre-school, answering questions about their work and tools.
All round a most satisfying experience which I will pass on to my colleagues/heads in the local community."

“The new canopy has transformed our outdoor area, enabling us to use the space as an outdoor classroom where children can play in showery weather or be shaded from the heat of the sun. Equipment is now able to be set up permanently outdoors as it is able to be kept dry. We had very good aftercare from the company and would recommend you to school colleagues.”
Head Teacher Batford Nursery School- View Installation…
“The Chalet School is a small special school for nursery and primary children, all of whom have autism. Our playgrounds are great but have no cover, from sun, rain, snow or hail! Able canopies constructed 3 canopies for us in 2006, which have not only provided much needed cover, but have also kept the classrooms cool in the summer months. We have been so pleased with the canopies that we have just ordered another one, to enable our "littlies" to play out in all weathers! I must also say that the workmen who came to fit the canopies were very hard-working, very efficient and tidy and extremely polite and courteous. All in all a job well done!”
Head Teacher, The Chalet School, Swindon- View Installation…
“I have used Able Canopies to install two shelter outside of our Nursery and reception buildings in order to develop our outdoor learning. We have also had a shelter installed for parents who are waiting for their children to offer protection from rain as well as very bright sunlight.
I have been extremely impressed with the Company who have been very professional and have delivered an excellent service. The administrative team in the office have always been very polite, knowledgeable and would keep me informed as to how things were progressing. The team who installed the shelters caused no disturbance whatsoever and we had all three installed during term time. The job was carried out very efficiently and well within the time allocated for the job.
We also received follow-up calls to make sure that we were happy with the service. I have no hesitation in recommending Able Canopies to other schools of other organisations.”
Mr G Durcan (Head teacher of St Helen's Catholic Infant school, Walthamstow) - View Installation…
“Able Canopies were recommended to me by a colleague and I wasn't disappointed. From the measuring up, to the design, to the fitting of the installed product I was delighted. Not quite as delighted as our EYFS teachers who now are able to access outdoor play every day under our canopy. Thank you.”
Gill Hutton, Head teacher Pottery Primary School Belper- View Installation…
"The children and staff at Colnbrook School are very pleased with the new canopy. From the very first phone call to the last screw being fitted, the company was courteous, hardworking and extremely helpful. We were very impressed with the professionalism and workmanship of the team who installed the canopy - which was put up it record time! We would thoroughly recommend the company without reservation."
Colnbrook School, Watford- View Installation...
"After a slight delay due to not taking the very large oak shutters into consideration the team provided an excellent service. The surveyor on his second visit was on time, listened to our requirements and provided a very professional service.
The local council insisted we applied for planning permission and again the Able team provided invaluable help in setting up the planning application.
Many months later (delays caused by the council) I confirmed the order and within days the canopies were fitted by a team of excellent expert fitters.
The job was completed exactly as planned and we now have 2 canopies one which allows outdoor activities for the playgroup and the other as shelter for the elderly and disabled buggies.
The whole team provided a professional service and I have no hesitation in recommending them and will use the company again."

Head Teacher, St Edmundsbury CEVAP School- View Installation…
“I’d just like to pass on a great big thank you to all of you. Everyone, including your ‘work men’, have been super, very kind, attentive, helpful and polite. Our new covered area had a ‘Grand Opening’ followed by freshly baked biscuits and hot chocolate for the children outside! The area is now in full use, and very pleased we are with it too! Thanks again!!”

"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- View Installation...
"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 our sails back up without hesitation. I Can't recommend them highly enough."

"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- View Installation...
"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.
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."
Potton Pre School, Bedfordshire- View Installation…
“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.”
David Payne, Area Building Surveyor, Bristol
