Yeoman Shield – Protecting All Educational Buildings

For nearly 60 years, Yeoman Shield has been helping organisations across the UK protect and extend the life of their buildings. Today, we are a trusted partner to nurseries, schools, academies, colleges and universities. Wherever young people learn, play and move, walls, doors and fire-safety assets face constant wear. Our specialist Wall & Door Protection and Fire Door Services provide the durability, safety and compliance educational estates rely on every day. Quite simply, there is no educational building we can’t protect.

Protecting Learning Environments with Wall & Door Protection

Educational buildings experience some of the highest levels of daily activity of any sector. In nurseries, toys, trikes and pushchairs regularly impact surfaces. Primary and secondary schools experience continuous corridor movement, rearranged furniture, equipment trolleys and busy stairwells. In colleges and universities, heavy footfall in lecture theatres, laboratories, canteens and accommodation creates year-round pressure on interior surfaces.

Without reliable protection, this everyday use leads to dents, scuffs and breakages that quickly degrade the appearance of a building. Maintenance teams often find themselves repainting walls or repairing damaged doors far more frequently than budgets or term schedules allow. Yeoman Shield’s Wall & Door Protection systems stop this damage at its source, offering long-lasting solutions designed specifically for high-traffic educational environments. Robust, cost-effective and easy to clean, they support estates in maintaining learning spaces that remain welcoming, hygienic and fit for purpose.

Our education-focused product range includes:

Wall Protection Panels & Cladding
High-performance, impact-resistant panels that protect classrooms, corridors, stairwells and communal areas, keeping interiors looking smart and reducing the need for frequent redecoration.

Corner Protection
Corners are among the first elements to show wear. Our durable corner protectors prevent chipping and cracking, eliminating recurring repair jobs.

Door Protection Products
PVCu door edge guards, face protection, kick plates and push plates extend the lifespan of classroom and corridor doors, which experience some of the heaviest use in educational settings.

Custom Colours, Branding & Imagery
A wide choice of colours, wayfinding options, school branding and child-friendly graphics enhances the visual appeal of educational spaces while providing robust protection.

By reducing surface damage, educational facilities not only save money but also minimise disruptions to the school day. Reactive repairs become less frequent, allowing site teams to focus on planned improvements rather than fire-fighting small but costly issues.

Fire Door Services – Safety, Compliance & Confidence

Fire safety is a critical priority across all levels of education. Fire doors play a vital role in containing smoke and fire long enough for safe evacuation, but high foot traffic and heavy everyday use can compromise their performance. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to meeting regulatory requirements and ensuring student and staff safety.

Yeoman Shield provides a comprehensive suite of Fire Door Services tailored to nurseries, schools, colleges and universities. Delivered nationwide by certified specialists, our services ensure your fire doors remain compliant, functional and ready to perform in an emergency.

Our Fire Door Services include:

Fire Door Inspections
Thorough surveys that identify defects, non-compliant components and maintenance priorities, providing clear, actionable reports for estates teams.

Repairs & Upgrades
Certified repairs that extend the lifespan of existing fire doors, helping educational sites avoid unnecessary replacement costs.

Certified Fire Door Installations
Supply and installation of fully compliant, third-party certified fire doors for refurbishments, upgrades and new builds.

Ongoing Maintenance
Scheduled servicing to ensure long-term safety, regulatory compliance and reliable performance across an entire educational estate.

These services give headteachers, estates managers, multi-academy trust leaders and university facility teams complete confidence in the safety of their buildings.
