At GasWise, we understand the unique demands of schools, colleges, and nurseries. Since 2010, we have delivered reliable, safe, and compliant plumbing, heating, and drainage services to educational premises across areas such as Banbury, Bicester, and Warwick.

Why Do Schools Need a Specialist Contractor?


School buildings present specific challenges: complex heating and hot water systems, high-occupancy drainage, strict safeguarding and compliance requirements, and limited windows for disruptive works.

Choosing a specialist contractor experienced with schools helps you minimise downtime, ensure regulatory compliance, and keep pupils, staff, and visitors safe.

Compliance, Certification, & Safe Working


GasWise holds all the necessary accreditations to work safely in schools, such as Gas Safe and OFTEC. To ensure compliance across every job, we provide:
  • Full gas safety inspections and written records
  • OFTEC-compliant work and reporting for oil-fired systems
  • Method statements, risk assessments, and written service reports for every visit
  • Clear record-keeping to support your site’s compliance files and audits
  • Work carried out with respect for school safeguarding procedures and minimal disruption to teaching

FAQs


Do you work during term time?
Yes. Although we try to schedule most disruptive works for holidays and out-of-hours where possible, we also offer flexible appointments to suit school timetables. Please get in touch with us to discuss what works best for you.
Can you provide evidence of qualifications and insurance?
Absolutely - we can supply copies of our Gas Safe, OFTEC, and Worcester Bosch accreditations, plus public liability insurance on request. Each of our team members is DBS checked, so we can also supply evidence of this, should you need.
Do you offer long-term contracts for schools?
Yes. We are happy to design planned preventative maintenance contracts to suit single schools or multi-site trusts across our service areas.
