The project aimed to address the corrosion issues, enhance safety features, and rejuvenate the appearance of the staircase within a tight timeframe to minimise disruption to the school’s activities.
Project Details
- Assessment and Planning: WHL Projects conducted a thorough assessment of the staircase’s condition and identified corrosion as a key concern.Collaborating with the school administration, a detailed plan was developed to refurbish the staircase during the two-week Easter holiday period to ensure minimal disruption.
- Corrosion Removal: The staircase was completely sanded down to remove all traces of corrosion. Skilled craftsmen meticulously addressed areas of deterioration, ensuring a smooth and even surface for the refurbishment process.
- Surface Preparation and Painting: After thorough surface preparation, the staircase was coated with a durable Hammerite paint throughout. Anti-slip steps and nosings were installed to enhance safety, providing secure footing for students, staff, and visitors.

Stringent quality assurance measures were implemented to verify the durability and effectiveness of the refurbishment, ensuring the staircase met safety standards and aesthetic expectations.
