Epsom College is a renowned independent school in Surrey, known for its rich history and commitment to providing high-quality education and facilities. The college’s campus includes several historic and modern buildings, catering to a diverse student body and supporting a wide range of academic and extracurricular activities.

Epsom College identified that the shower and changing room facilities in one of their properties were outdated and inefficient, negatively impacting pupils’ daily experience. The client required a full refurbishment to modernise these spaces, improve functionality, and resolve underlying mechanical issues, particularly persistent drainage problems that previously caused flooding in a neighbouring building.

Scope of work

Interfix provided a comprehensive upgrade to the college’s washrooms, shower rooms, and changing rooms, including:

• Installation of 8 high-quality shower cubicles with updated pipework to support the new facilities
• Corian washtroughs combining durability and hygiene for busy college washrooms
• New slip-resistant safety flooring and wall cladding throughout to enhance safety and aesthetics
• Modern, energy-efficient lighting and upgraded ventilation systems
• New lockers and perimeter bench seating in the changing room for pupil convenience and comfort
• Complete decoration to refresh the overall look and feel of the spaces

Challenges & solutions

The drainage issues presented a significant challenge, which was not apparent during the quoting stage. Blocked drains caused flooding in an adjacent building, posing a serious risk. Interfix conducted a thorough survey, identifying the problem and implementing a drainage diversion solution to prevent future flooding.

Despite the unforeseen complexity, the project was adapted accordingly and completed on time and within budget, meeting and exceeding the client’s expectations.

The result?

The refurbished college washrooms, changing rooms, and shower rooms now offer a modern, safe, and user-friendly environment that significantly improves the pupils’ experience at Epsom College. The successful resolution of the drainage issue safeguards neighbouring properties, demonstrating Interfix’s commitment to problem-solving and quality delivery.

The client chose Interfix due to their confidence in the company’s ability to handle complex challenges and deliver to the highest standards.
