Introduction

Schools are more than buildings — they are environments for learning and growth. Poor maintenance can disrupt classes, create safety hazards, and lead to expensive repairs. Eco-Tide Management is the Western Cape’s preferred school contractor, delivering reliable maintenance that supports education .

Key Best Practices for School Maintenance

1. Regular Safety Inspections – Identify and resolve hazards before they impact staff or learners.

2. Seasonal Roofing Checks – Prevent leaks and weather damage, especially before the rainy season.

3. Plumbing & Electrical Upkeep – Avoid disruptions and safety risks by maintaining critical systems.

4. Playground & Outdoor Area Care – Keep learner spaces safe and compliant with regulations.

5. Heritage Building Preservation – For older schools, use restoration methods that respect historical value .
