Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All Washzilla operatives working on school sites hold enhanced DBS checks. We provide copies of DBS certificates with our quotes and can share them with your safeguarding lead as required for your Single Central Record.
Absolutely. We prioritize holiday scheduling for schools to minimize disruption to teaching and learning. We can also work weekends, evenings, or during INSET days if preferred. We'll coordinate with your site manager to find the optimal window.
We supply complete RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statement), COSHH data sheets, public liability insurance (£10 million), DBS certificates, and detailed service records. All documentation is inspection-ready and meets Ofsted safeguarding and health & safety requirements.
Yes. We provide volume discounts for MATs with multiple schools, centralized invoicing, coordinated scheduling across your estate, and trust-wide maintenance contracts. We can manage portfolios of any size with consistent quality and documentation.
We cordon off work areas with safety barriers and signage, coordinate with staff to avoid high-traffic times, and use low-pressure methods that eliminate spray risks. If working during term time, we can restrict access to specific zones and brief staff on our schedule.
Yes. We offer fast-response graffiti removal to maintain your school's professional appearance. We understand the importance of addressing vandalism quickly and can often mobilize within 24-48 hours for urgent cases.
Yes. Our biocides are applied carefully and we allow appropriate dwell and rinse times. Playgrounds are safe for use immediately after our final rinse. We provide COSHH documentation and can advise on any specific concerns about play equipment or surfaces.
Our quotes include site survey, all labor, materials, biocides, waste disposal, full documentation (RAMS/COSHH/DBS), and public liability insurance. There are no hidden costs or call-out fees. Multi-surface packages receive additional discounts.
We recommend annual cleaning for render and brickwork, biannual gutter clearance, and playground cleaning 1-2 times per year depending on usage. Roofs typically need treatment every 18-24 months. We'll assess your site and recommend a tailored maintenance schedule.
Yes. Our low-pressure, chemistry-led method is safe for painted playground markings, thermoplastic lines, and surface graphics. We avoid high-pressure washing that can strip or fade markings, and we'll test a small area first if you have concerns.
Yes. We regularly work on heritage and listed school buildings. Our substrate-safe, low-pressure approach protects historic masonry, stonework, and architectural features. We can liaise with conservation officers if required and provide method statements for listed building consent.
Yes. We have extensive experience with primary schools, secondary schools, academies, and independent schools across the UK. We can provide anonymized case studies and, with permission, connect you with similar schools we've served.
Timescales vary by school size and scope. A typical primary school takes 2-4 days for full exterior treatment, while larger secondary schools may take 5-7 days. We'll provide a detailed schedule during the survey and can phase work across multiple holidays if needed.
No. Our low-pressure, chemistry-led method is substrate-safe and protects render, brickwork, pointing, and window seals. Unlike high-pressure washing, we don't force water into cavities or damage surface finishes. Results last longer because we treat the root cause of organic growth.
Yes. We can prioritize urgent bookings for upcoming inspections. While we recommend regular maintenance, we understand inspection timelines and can mobilize quickly to address exterior presentation issues and provide all necessary documentation for inspectors.
