Term dates first, then the programme.
Education Building Services in Morpeth & The North East
We are builders in Morpeth, and schools have had us back. Education building services in Morpeth and the North East, to us, means building, refurbishing and repairing for schools, colleges, universities and nurseries, planned around term dates and school hours. Ashington Learning Partnership had us turn an old caretaker's house into their school library. A school in Cramlington had us fit secure fencing and gates. Fully insured, with a 5 year guarantee, and the people on the job have over 100 years in the trade.

The school library in Ashington
Ashington Learning Partnership had an old caretaker's house on the site and wanted a library. We repaired the structure, refitted the inside and handed it over as a library for the pupils. The review from the school is below. It mentions minimal disruption and respect for the school environment, which is the part a head or a bursar most wants to hear before letting a builder in.
What we do for schools
Extensions and new classrooms.
Site extensions, structure enlargements and external covered areas, so there is somewhere dry to line up.
Modular classrooms.
Modular buildings where a permanent extension is not the answer, sited and connected by our own trades.
Classroom adaptations.
Walls moved, openings made, rooms split or joined, a small room turned into a toilet area.
Fit-outs and repairs.
Mechanical and electrical work, toilet refurbishments, flooring, redecoration and dilapidation work.
Grounds and security.
Secure fencing, anti-climb fencing and gates, as at the school in Cramlington.
Student accommodation.
Building and renovating HMOs for students.
Working around pupils
A school checks a builder out before letting them near pupils, and the site has to be kept safe around them while the work is on. We ask at the start which weeks are term, which are holidays, which hours we can work and where the site compound can go so it is fenced off from the playground. Noisy work goes in the holidays or after the bell. Everyone on site is signed in and knows the rules. The programme is written around all of that before we quote.
The first job, then the list
One school reviewer on Yell writes that after a first project in the school they have used us again and again since. Another customer lists a year of jobs on one site: a small room turned into a toilet area, roofing work, anti-climb fencing, flooring large areas and the redecoration and refurbishment of rooms. Ashington Learning Partnership had the library done. Newcastle Racecourse has had us back for a number of jobs. That is the pattern: a first job, then the list. 5.0 from 19 reviews on Yell and 5.0 from 7 on Google, and we ask every customer for one at sign-off.
How a school job runs
Ring the office or send the form with the site, the deadline and what has to stay open. We come out in school hours or out of them, whichever suits, measure up and ask the awkward questions early. You get an itemised written quote, no pressure to sign. If drawings are needed we can have them done. A start date is agreed against the term calendar, and one person is your contact from the first call to the snag list. Our site team is Neil, James, Davey and Ben.

Every detail, from structural repairs to final touches, was completed to a high standard. It's clear they take great pride in their work. We're very grateful to Simon and the whole team, and would highly recommend Building Solutions North East Ltd to any school or organisation looking for skilled, dependable builders.
