School Refurbishment & Interior Fit Out Specialists

Trusted Interior Solutions

Transforming classrooms, halls and learning spaces across Bristol and the South West — delivered on time, on budget, and with minimal disruption.

Is your school environment holding learning back?

Over time, school buildings naturally begin to show signs of wear. High footfall, daily use and evolving educational needs can leave classrooms, halls and communal areas looking tired, inefficient and no longer fit for purpose.

Outdated interiors not only affect the appearance of your school but can also impact safety, functionality and the overall learning environment for both staff and pupils.

We regularly work with schools and academy trusts facing challenges such as ageing infrastructure, damaged finishes and spaces that no longer meet modern requirements. These issues can make day-to-day operations more difficult and, in some cases, create risks that need addressing quickly and efficiently.

  • Worn or damaged flooring creating trip hazards and maintenance issues
  • Suspended ceilings in poor condition or requiring replacement
  • Inefficient layouts that limit how classrooms and spaces are used
  • Outdated interiors that no longer reflect the quality of education provided
  • Washrooms and communal areas in need of refurbishment
  • Difficulty finding reliable contractors who can work safely in live school environments

We recently had some painting and wallpapering carried out at our Bristol showroom, and we couldn’t be more delighted with the results! From start to finish, the decorator was professional, efficient, and incredibly skilled. He took great care in preparing the surfaces, ensuring a flawless finish, and left everything clean and tidy at the end of each day.

The attention to detail was impressive, and he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with every aspect of the job. Communication was excellent throughout, and the work was completed on time and within budget.

If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality interiors fit out Company, I would absolutely recommend Avent Interiors. A fantastic job – thank you!

Just wanted to provide some feedback on the recent work completed by Avent Interiors.

Having known Avent for some years we had them visit our offices to advise an area of space we wanted to utilise as a meeting room.

The team were able to provide some really modern designs, with a fresh look to the rest of the office, whilst retaining the natural light.

The process was simply, clear, and well planned with regularly updates throughout the work.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the work, and a very high standard, high recommended……

We (Futura Learning Partnership) have recently engaged with Avent Interiors for two projects at one of our schools due to them being a local company, the first was for a dividing partition wall to create a new SEND provision and second was to create a dedicated walkway / handrails to help with high levels of foot traffic during break and lunch service in our dining hall.

From start to finish Mark and his team were very professional, reliable and provided us with top quality work from all trades while remaining competitive during the quoting process.

Would highly recommend and will be our go to when further works arise.

I used Avent interiors for a suspended ceiling installation in shop refurbishment we were doing, following a recommendation from a friend. Their quotation was very competitive and I was thoroughly impressed with their level of communication throughout the job, and the overall finish on completion is fantastic. They were also very accommodating when we had to delay the install a couple of times. Happy customer thank you.
