Bohunt Secondary School has recently installed eight black solid surface Wallgate Thriis in a new toilet block, bringing the total within the school to 34 units across seven toilet blocks.
Located in Liphook Hampshire, Bohunt is a secondary school with over 1575 students enrolled. Wallgate has worked closely with Bohunt for over 10 years, supplying hand wash units as the school has grown.
Julie Ivory, Operations Manager at Bohunt School commented: “At Bohunt we have a limited space for school washrooms, which make these hand wash dryers ideal. The students love the innovative design and the units helped us save huge amounts on paper towels and soap.”

Phil Thorne, Commercial Manager at Wallgate said: “These washrooms have a high student footfall and the fact that the hand wash dryers installed 10 years ago are functioning as well as the day they were installed really does prove that Wallgate products are built to last. The Thrii is the latest model, which continues this durability along with stylish aesthetics and improved energy and water savings.”
Kingdown Secondary School has worked closely with Wallgate for almost 6 years, installing robust innovative washroom solutions on both new build and refurbishment projects. Catering for 1600 pupils, inevitably washrooms have high footfall, and therefore water saving and energy efficiency is a high priority.
Kingdown School wanted to create an open plan washroom solution for both boys and girls to eliminate it being an area of ‘congregation’ for the students. Due to the breadth of product range, flexible service and a good past working relationship, Wallgate were selected to provide the new washrooms for the school's pupils.
Thrii hand wash dryers, WC pans and disabled facilities were installed throughout the current year 9 to 11 bathrooms and also in the new purpose-built sixth form toilets too.
Kingdown School Site Manager, Nick Trimby commented, “Wallgate always help deliver the most suitable water saving solution and easy to use technology best suited to the academic environment. We now have school washrooms that children want to use and will look after for years to come.”
Nick is delighted with the finished installation and added, “Wallgate provide great service, the Thrii is a brilliant product; it has saved the school a lot of money in soap and is extremely hygienic. Their products are robust, perfect for this industry – I can’t fault them!”
The school toilets were in need of refurbishment and the students didn’t enjoy using the facilities. Lynette Payne, Site manager, and Caretaker Warren Baker, set about making changes, meeting with the students, school council, senior staff and various departments within the council to discuss upgrading one of their toilet blocks. As commented by Lynette Payne, “we are an all girls’ school, apart from the mixed 6th form, and the school toilets are always a high priority.”
Building up to this refurbishment, several schools were visited within the Caerphilly Borough to help Lewis Girls Comprehensive School establish how they wanted to refurb their toilet block. On visiting another school, Lynette Payne noticed Wallgate’s next generation all-in-one Thrii hand wash dryer and was very impressed and surprised with the condition of the equipment. Wallgate’s products are designed to be reliable, durable and robust so it is no surprise that they can easily withstand the heavy usage and demands that come with a school environment.
Lewis Girls Comprehensive School, over the course of an eight week refurbishment, had Wallgate’s all-in-one Thrii hand wash dryers installed, as well as Wallgate’s robust solid surface WC’s. They have already seen fantastic results with cost savings due to no longer requiring hand towels and soap dispensers - the students now find using the facilities a more enjoyable experience.
Lynette Payne commented, “I am really pleased with the durability of the equipment, and very impressed that after 12 months of heavy use the equipment still looks and works as it did on day one.”
Lewis Girls Comprehensive School are looking to refurbish another toilet block this year, and would be happy to use Wallgate’s products again. Over the last year they have seen cost savings with the Thrii hand wash dryer, showing how Wallgate products can help save costs long term on ongoing maintenance reduces the costs on soap and there’s no longer a requirement to purchase paper towels or replace broken holders.
Wallgate are very pleased to help transform washroom facilities, making clean and innovative spaces for students, and that after this experience with Wallgate, Lynette Payne said, “I would definitely be happy to recommend Wallgate, their products do exactly as they say on the tin!”
