Preou in Southend-on-Sea
In Southend we look after Westcliff High School for Boys. After replacing the heating systems, Preou FM was awarded the service and maintenance contract, which has been renewed for a second year.
Westcliff High School for Boys is in Westcliff-on-Sea, on the west side of the city. Our engineers travel from Billericay, about 14 miles away, and projects are managed by a named contracts manager from first survey to handover.
The buildings we work on in Southend-on-Sea are mostly grammar and secondary schools, hospital buildings and seafront leisure venues. They are occupied buildings, so the works are planned in detail before we start on site: shutdowns agreed in advance, heavy work programmed into holidays or quiet periods, and temporary plant where heating or hot water has to stay on.
