When the bell rings for the last time in July, it signals more than the start of summer holidays. For facilities managers across schools, colleges, and universities, it marks the start of a critical maintenance window. With corridors clear, classrooms empty, and fewer safeguarding restrictions in place, the summer break is the ideal time to tackle planned maintenance and health & safety improvements. From electrical inspections to ceiling repairs and painting projects, much of the work that keeps educational buildings safe, functional, and compliant happens while pupils and staff are away. At Lyte, we understand the demands of this compressed maintenance period, and our British-made access equipment is trusted by facilities teams across the UK education sector to get the job done safely and efficiently. Common Tasks During the Summer Break Facilities and estates teams often use the holidays to: Carry out electrical testing and lighting upgrades Clean or repair HVAC systems in ceiling voids Paint and redecorate classrooms and corridors Service fire alarms, CCTV, and security systems Install new whiteboards, projectors, and cabling Inspect and repair roof areas, guttering, and external cladding Whether it’s reactive work or part of an annual PPM schedule, reliable access equipment is essential.
