Schools and Education Facility Painting Services

We know that creating vibrant and welcoming environments in schools, universities and daycares, is crucial for fostering learning, safety, and well-being.

Specialists in Painting Schools and Educational Facilities

Educational environments differ significantly from other commercial or industrial spaces. The daily activity of hundreds, if not thousands, of students, staff, and visitors means that durability, safety, and hygiene must be prioritised. Whether it's a primary school, secondary school, kindergarten, or university, our services are tailored to meet these specialised needs.

Not only are we experts in repainting, we also know how to protect, preserve and enhance those painted surfaces. Our tailored aftercare maintenance solutions include services such as high pressure washing, chemical washing, and the application of protective treatments and coatings to keep your painted surfaces looking fresh and save them from premature deterioration.

Why Schools and Education Facilities Need Specialised Painting Solutions

1. Health and Safety and Operational Considerations

When painting in schools or daycares, the safety of students and staff is our top priority. We have a range of solutions in place for daycares and schools, ranging from using water-based paints (which reduces exposure to harmful chemicals) to performing all work after hours or on weekends. This is especially important in environments like early childhood centers and kindergartens, where younger children are more sensitive to toxins. We also adhere to strict safety protocols during our work, ensuring minimal disruption to daily activities. We can schedule projects outside of school hours, during holidays, or on weekends to avoid disrupting the learning environment.

2. Durability and Longevity

Educational buildings face constant daily use, which can quickly lead to wear and tear. From busy hallways to recreational areas, paint needs to withstand high levels of contact and activity. We use high-quality, durable paints and coatings that resist scuffs, stains, and damage, making surfaces easier to clean and maintain over time. For exteriors, we consider New Zealand's diverse climate conditions, ensuring that your buildings are protected against harsh weather, UV rays, and moisture. Our exterior coatings are designed to endure, providing long-lasting protection and preserving the value of your investment.

3. Custom Colour & Design Solutions

The look and feel of an educational environment can significantly impact students’ and staff’s well-being and productivity. We work closely with you to choose colour schemes that create bright, stimulating, and welcoming spaces while meeting your specific aesthetic goals. From bold, engaging classroom colours that foster creativity to calm, neutral tones for staff offices, our team ensures every space has the right atmosphere.

4. Custom Aftercare and Maintenance Solutions

Once the painting is complete, it’s essential to preserve that fresh, vibrant look. Carus offer a range of flexible aftercare and ongoing maintenance solutions, keeping your educational facility looking better, for longer. We don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach, so we work with you to create an optimal maintenance plan that fits around your school or educational facilities requirements and budget. Our maintenance solutions can range anywhere from 1 to 12 years and are designed to help schools and education providers work around the unique budgeting and financial forecasting challenges that we often see. From high-pressure and chemical washing to remove dirt and grime to the application of protective treatments, we help extend the life of your paint and minimize the need for frequent repaints. Our proactive maintenance approach reduces long-term costs, preventing premature wear and deterioration of your painted surfaces.

The Carus team completed the work early and to an excellent standard and were a pleasure to work with. They were happy to organise some necessary repair work before commencing. The Carus team worked right through the holiday season often working double shifts and on public holidays to ensure they met our deadlines. They were very cognisant of security and were happy to work with our alarm company to ensure the school buildings were secure. We are extremely happy with the quality of the workmanship and gladly recommend Carus to other schools seeking painting work. We are very satisfied customers.

Paul Coakley
Principal of St Mary’s School

Carus provided a high-quality of product and fantastic customer service. The Carus team were efficient and organised, as a historic building there were many complexities with prep work, none of which were overlooked. The finished paintwork is of very high quality and has transformed the exterior of our school. Their attention to detail to produce an exceptional end result was impressive. Carus partnered with us throughout the process, from the painter to the account manager, all were personable and showed a genuine level of care – nothing was too much trouble. The team has a high level of integrity and the health and safety of our students was a priority.

Mackersy Property use Carus regularly for paint jobs either large or small. We find the communication good and they are really responsive to our needs and requirements. It’s a challenge finding painters who fit that bill in the current environment and we are grateful for their consistent service.

In follow up to the recent work that Carus have carried out at Russley Golf Club, refurbishing internal and external areas, I am writing to offer my thanks for a job well done. The quality of work, value for money and efficiency with which your staff operated around our members and customers, communication and overall standards were fantastic. I would have no hesitation in recommending Carus for a project of this type, and am happy to discuss further with any of your potential customers.

Giles Beal
General Manager at Russley Golf Club

We were very pleased with the amazing job done on our school repaint. As a new Principal starting in 2023, a number of jobs had fallen behind on the maintenance schedule, the school repaint being one of them. The team at Carus were super supportive and ultra friendly when I had made contact with them about the original quote. Nothing was too difficult, and we came up with a plan that allowed the project to go ahead with no fuss. There team were prompt with the initial meeting, colour selection and timeframe for meeting on site to start the job. I was very impressed with their level of professionalism and care when moving through the different stages of the project. Communication was excellent and the team were efficient throughout the entire process. We are so happy with the outcome of our school repaint and we’re so glad the school colours are now aligned with our school colours and logo. We really appreciate the time and care taken to bring our school back to life with a new paint job that looks fantastic.

Carus Group Ltd completed a full repaint of the Aberdeen School buildings in 2019 and ongoing annual maintenance of this work, including wash-downs since that time. We have been satisfied with the physical work carried out by Carus and the local managers have been a pleasure to work with. We look forward to a continued working relationship with them.

We’re really happy with the recent work Carus did at our school. The team was fantastic to work with, delivering everything on time and to a high standard. The whole process was smooth, and we’re already seeing the positive impact on our school. The Carus team really listened to our needs and made sure everything was just right. We’re excited to work with them again in the future!
