Rigby are proud to announce the website launch of Quebicle, an innovative company part of the RIGBY  Group.

Quebicle are now leading the way in the design and installation of themed toilets for schools, nurseries and colleges. We have a unique approach to washroom design, allowing schools to actively involve their pupils in the conceptual design stage of each project. Our design team works closely with the pupils to bring their ideas to life, creating washroom facilities that are welcoming, hygienic, safe to use and directly tailored to the needs of the pupils using them. Pupils develop a sense of pride and ownership over these facilities which encourages them to look after and respect them.

In addition to this we are committed to installing school toilet facilities which reach the optimum standards for practical use, hygiene and health and safety. Our intelligent design ensures long term durability and careful product selection guarantees our washrooms are economical whilst still being kind to the environment.

The refurbishment can only described as an inovation for childrens toilets, and will hopefully set a precedent for minimum standards for all to adhere to and see.

The summer term has heralded the completion of a long term project of a wc refurbishment at Bedford Primary School, that has seen the total re-design and refurbishment of 7 seperate toilet blocks and a disabled facility that is the only one of its kind.

Working in conjunction with the school council, RIGBY Construction have developed a new design concept and delivered what is going to be the blueprint for future refurbishments in childrens toilets. The outcome has been a great success for both ourselves and the school, who now have user friendly, low maintenance and more environmentally friendly toilet facilities. We will be posting some pictures of the facilities in the very near future.

Waterloo Judo Club built in conjucnction with RIGBY Construction, Capita Symonds & Sport’s England was finally opened to the general public in February 2009.

It comprises a ’state of the art’ judo club encompassing all the facilities required to take judo into the 21st century.

We have posted some pictures of the completed construction which may emphasize the hardship in constructing such a large structural facility, which  encompasses 90% of the size of the  actual site.

We at RIGBY head office would like to thank all of the people involved in this project. Logistically the construction and delivery became an enormous team effort by all parties concerened.

 The Rigby Group are committed to ensuring that our employees or contractors working on any of our construction sites are safe whilst working at height. We have now partnered with TRAD Safety Systems Ltd. who supply a compact, durable deck that is the top fall-prevention solution recommended by the Health & Safety Executive. TRAD have also trained several of our employees to install and certify the system meaning that installation and dismantling is quick and simple.

What really sets apart the TRAD Safety Deck is that it can be used for any project or room size. The system includes multiple panel sizes, so it can be adapted to any shape or size profile. The TRAD Safety Deck is designed to exceed HSE regulations, so it’s an easy way to make sure we meet the Working at Height standards. It also features include a non-slip surface and high-visibility colours, designed to dramatically reduce risks.
