“The education landscape is fragmented by design - academy trusts, local authorities, and MATs all operate under different approval cycles. That’s why a one-size-fits-all approach to logistics simply doesn’t work. We have to lead with local intelligence.”– Vikki Horn, Senior Category Manager, Pipe Centre For Pipe Centre, understanding the unique pressures of the school summer works period starts with recognising its complexity. Across the UK, educational estates operate to different rhythms - shaped by funding windows, local decision-making, and access constraints. And yet, every site shares the same hard deadline: be fully operational before the first day of term. 🤝That’s why Pipe Centre doesn’t just deliver materials - we deliver with context. 🔗Our branch teams work closely with estate managers, procurement leads and contractors to gain early insight into upcoming projects. That local knowledge feeds directly into how we forecast, how we position stock, and how we shape our logistics response. It allows us to act ahead of time, not in reaction, and to flex our support based on real-world conditions - whether that means safeguarding requirements in city schools or coordinating access in rural ones. ✅The result is a logistics strategy that reduces pressure on contractors, shortens lead times, and ultimately gives schools and project teams what they need most: confidence.

❌Incorrect pipe sizing can lead to pressure drops, inefficiencies, and compliance issues. Common mistakes include relying on outdated design tables, ignoring flow velocity limits (aim for 1–2 m/s in domestic systems), overlooking expansion allowances in hot water systems, and undersizing for future demand - especially in commercial builds. 👋Remember, we're more than just a supplier of pipe. We act as a trusted advisor for our customers so please feel free to pop into branch for a chat, or visit our website https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/eEtiF3Ts.

“Water treatment isn’t simply a box-ticking exercise or a once-in-a-blue-moon intervention. It’s a vital, strategic tool that schools can use to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and protect their increasingly stretched budgets. Untreated or poorly treated water silently undermines heating system performance, driving up fuel costs and shortening the lifespan of essential equipment. Addressing water quality proactively is one of the smartest investments schools can make.” – Luchiana Laza , Category Manager, Pipe Centre Across the UK school estate, untreated or poorly maintained heating water is quietly undermining system performance. Corrosion, sludge and scale don’t just impact equipment - they drive up energy bills and accelerate capital costs. As Luchiana Laza explains, it’s time we stop treating water as an afterthought. At Pipe Centre, we’re helping schools take a proactive approach by: 💧 Introducing targeted testing to understand what’s really in the system 🧪 Expanding our exclusive Jet Range to include accessible water treatment solutions 🤝 Partnering with industry leaders like Adey for advanced system care 📆 Using the summer works window to deliver interventions without disruption Water treatment might be invisible - but its value isn’t. If schools want to cut carbon and control costs, this is where they start. Find out more about our summer maintenance offering at https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.ploom.ly/5xlFb14

“Our ability to deliver materials exactly where and when they’re needed - often to multiple live sites, under tight access and safeguarding restrictions - is the single most important factor in ensuring summer works succeed. And that doesn’t happen by accident.” – Vikki Horn, Senior Category Manager, Pipe Centre Each summer, educational estates across the UK face the same challenge: deliver essential works in a six-week window. The margin for error is small — and as Vikki Horn highlights, logistics is no longer a supporting role. It’s the lead.
