School Laboratory Furniture

School Laboratory Furniture specialise in the supply, design and installation of all types of laboratory furniture, including bespoke or standard products suitable for this environment. Between us we have over 60 years of experience within the laboratory furniture industry. We offer a free consultation, 3d and 2d CAD space planning and design service.

At School Laboratory Furniture, we don't just supply classroom furniture; we aim to provide a total package solution for our clients. Schools and especially teachers have a busy day to day schedule.

By using School Laboratory Furniture, you'll have a dedicated team to manage the entire project, from initial design to full installation and completion including project management and CDM regulations, giving you a single point of contact. These services are offered at no extra cost, therefore saving you considerable funds by not having to employ architects or project management companies. Our experienced project staff will keep you informed throughout. This means you can get on with your other important duties safe in the knowledge that your next classroom project is being handled by a professional and experienced team.

No project is too large or too small, whether it be for one chair, or a total new-build school, we would be delighted to give you our advice and recommendations to meet your budget and requirements.

Initial consultation planning and design
Detailed CAD drawings
Extensive cost analysis
Full project and CDM management

At School Laboratory Furniture, we can take care of the project and CDM management for you. Following its initial introduction in 1994, the Construction Design and Management Regulations (commonly known as the CDM Regulations) were re-introduced in April 2007. The revised Regulations are intended to make it easier for those involved in construction projects to fulfil with their health and safety duties.

A CDM Co-ordinator has to be appointed by the client if a project lasts more than 30 days or involves more than 500 person days of work. The CDM Co-ordinator is required to advise and assist the client on how to fulfil their duties. At the most, only the initial design work for the job should have been carried out before the position is filled. At School Laboratory Furniture, we are experienced in this process and offer this as part of our turnkey service, meaning that you don't have to worry about it.

Thier comments on the products and services provided:-

"We invited F&R to tender for the refurbishment of two of our Science Laboratories and a sixth form room. The main reason they were successful in winning all three projects was down to their huge enthusiasm to see the Projects through during a tricky time over the Christmas period , and of course their costings were within budget.

They were very adaptable and helpful during the design and layout stages , and they talked and listened carefully to everybody's requirements to ensure the best solution was achieved.

The furniture was of excellent quality. The three week turnaround of products from order to manufacture to supply was very impressive as well.

At all times we were kept informed of the general progress and any minor adaptations that might be needed.

In addition to this they dealt with the asbestos issues that we had in an expert way.

Overall we would recommend them to any other establishment looking to undertake these sort of projects."

His comments were on the products and services:-

"We invited 9 companies to tender for the supply and installation of laboratory furniture, sinks, taps and stools in our 12 laboratories that were being refurbished by a main contractor , we chose F&R for a variety of reasons.

The timescale was a major concern , so once it was established that the short lead time of 4 weeks could be achieved and we had strong recommendation from another school, where a laboratory refurbishment had just been successfully completed , we awarded the contract to F&R.

They worked very closely and efficiently with the Architect and the main contractor, on the design and layout of the furniture, making sure that all the services were accommodated effectively in conjunction with their own layout and installation of the water,gas and electrical services. Removable back panels were included in the cabinetry so that the services could be easily accessed . They also helped with the design of the Teacherwall storage units that matched all the other units.

Everything ran very smoothly and on time , and the quality of the products and installation is outstanding. The overall costing and value for money was impressive , and I was amazed at the price of the 1200x600 trapezoidal trespa top Science tables at 129 each ! We feel that we have achieved a quality finish at a very competitive price.

We would have no hesitation working with F&R and their team in the future for any type of refurbishment or furniture project."
