Health and Safety

Health and Safety and Welfare Regulations including the Provision of Work Equipment (PUWER) 1998 section 2 and sub section 6 clause 2 states that;

Every employer shall ensure that work equipment exposed to conditions causing deterioration which is liable to result in dangerous situations is inspected at suitable intervals (i.e. regular servicing), and circumstances that are liable to jeopardise the safety of the work equipment may have incurred so as to ensure that H&S conditions are maintained (i.e. planned regular maintenance and operator safe system training).

By law you must be able to demonstrate that servicing/maintenance is taking place and that this is being logged and recorded. This would be important if an accident occurred and/or Health and Safety Inspection took place.

The benefit of regular servicing is to ensure the extended warranty of the product and parts (see Warranty details), ease of movement, optimum acoustic performance and a constant, undisrupted availability of flexible room space.

Style is an ISO and CHAS accredited company offering the most comprehensive service packages for movable walls in the UK. We are the only approved contractor in the UK that is able to service Dorma, Huppe, Skyfold, SWG and Espero products.

All Style engineers are fully employed and trained on all matters relating to Health & Safety, including CSCS, PASMA, Asbestos Awareness, Manual Handling and Risk Assessments – and our training programmes for our engineers are CITB approved. We pride ourselves in ensuring the very highest levels of health and safety competence for our engineers. Training for all employees is carried, and references and documents evidencing this can be provided.

Are you Legally Compliant?

At Style, we take a responsible attitude to this question and we do not want to alarm customers or frighten them into taking out service contracts.

However, the laws and regulations are quite clear so in order to help you decide and understand your obligations.

In relation to servicing, as per current Health and Safety Legislation, we have provided a helpful Health & Safety facts sheet which you can view or download.

Operation Manual

For all products supplied and installed by Style, we have an operations manual. Our operation manuals provide advice and instruction on how to operate your moveable wall correctly and safely, and look after the system once installed. This helps preserve the wall’s integrity, warranty and ease of operation.

Zero-Joint Technology in the Healthcare Sector

NHS England’s Health Building Note 00-09 states clinical surfaces should be “impervious, designed for easy cleaning and free of fissures and unsealed joints.”
  • Laser-bonded, adhesive-free edge, with no seam or adhesive strip
  • Designed in line with the surface characteristics HBN 00-09 describes for clinical areas
  • Formaldehyde emissions tested significantly below the EU's REACH formaldehyde limit, in effect from 6 August 2026

Why it matters

HBN 00-09 sets out these surface characteristics because unsealed joints are a recognised place for moisture and micro-organisms to collect. A genuinely joint-free edge is designed to address that specific detail.

This is a surface and edge specification, not a clinical claim. Zero-joint technology has not been evaluated or certified by NHS England, and does not claim to reduce infection rates.

Zero-Joint Technology in the Hospitality Sector

Guest-facing spaces and food-service areas face frequent hygiene inspections and heavy daily use — seamless panels help simplify housekeeping and keep finishes looking newer for longer.
  • Seamless edge finish, with no visible transition between edge and panel surface
  • 100% adhesive-free construction — no hot-melt adhesive layer to fail
  • Edge processing on all four sides, built for daily commercial use
  • Low-maintenance and easy to clean

Why it matters

Food-service and guest-facing areas are typically inspected under hygiene and housekeeping standards that look closely at surfaces and joints. A seamless, moisture-resistant edge is designed with exactly that kind of scrutiny in mind.

Every one of these sectors shares the same underlying surface problem: a bonded-strip edge is a seam, and a seam is a place where dirt, moisture or wear can concentrate in a way a continuous surface can't. Zero-joint technology addresses that one structural detail across offices, schools, healthcare and hospitality settings alike — one construction detail, one shared weak point removed, four sectors that each care about it for their own reasons.

Zero-Joint Technology in the Education Sector

Classrooms and shared facilities see high daily footfall from children and staff, so partitioning needs to withstand daily wear and support fast, thorough cleaning.
  • Seamless, adhesive-free edge with no strip to lift or wear loose over time
  • Moisture-resistant, low-maintenance surface
  • Independently tested for VOC emissions to AgBB and EN 16516

Why it matters

Schools see some of the highest footfall of any building type relative to their size, and surface durability directly affects how long fittings stay presentable between refurbishment cycles. A seam-free edge that can't lift or peel with repeated impact and cleaning is a genuinely lower-maintenance fixture over the life of the building.

Zero-Joint Technology in the Corporate Sector

Open-plan offices and meeting suites see constant daily use — surfaces need to look sharp for years without high maintenance.
  • Seamless edge finish, with no visible transition between edge and panel surface
  • 100% adhesive-free construction — no hot-melt adhesive layer to fail
  • Edge processing on all four sides, built for daily commercial use
  • Low-maintenance and easy to clean

Why it matters

An adhesive seam is one of the few places on a standard partition edge where dust, spillage residue or cleaning-product build-up can collect, simply because it isn't a flat, continuous surface. Removing that seam removes that particular weak point — a lower-maintenance fixture designed to stay looking sharp for longer.
