John Perryn Primary School approached Interfix to refresh their outdated washrooms. The school wanted to improve the look, durability, and functionality of the facilities whilst making the most of their existing fixtures, where possible.

The project was completed in two phases, each lasting six weeks. Interfix’s transparent and detailed quoting process gave the school confidence in our ability to deliver a cost-effective solution without hidden extras.

The first phase focused on revitalising the existing washrooms whilst retaining key elements that still had life left in them.

Scope of works:

• Full strip-out of the existing washrooms
• Installation of new vinyl flooring
• Decoration of all walls
• Installation of new SGL cubicles
• Installation of new SGL WC duct panels
• Re-use of existing sanitaryware and wash-troughs

The introduction of solid grade laminate (SGL) cubicles and duct panels provided a significant durability upgrade. Unlike the previous HPL materials, which can swell when exposed to moisture, SGL is completely waterproof – ensuring long-lasting performance in a demanding school environment.

In the second phase, John Perryn Primary School decided to replace the existing sanitary ware – completing the transformation of the washrooms, ensuring they were both visually appealing and highly durable.

Phase 2 took place alongside another contractor’s installation of a new ground source heat pump system. This required close coordination to minimise disruption and ensure smooth progress across both projects.

During the tender process, Interfix’s transparency and attention to detail stood out. Competitor quotes omitted key elements, which risked unexpected costs further down the line. Interfix’s clear and comprehensive breakdown of works gave the school complete confidence that the project would be completed on time and on budget.

The result?

A refreshed, durable, and practical washroom facility that will serve pupils and staff for many years to come – delivered within the tight timeframes, to the proposed spec and within the agreed budget.
