Delivering tailored, high-quality stage solutions with exceptional service

Long-standing partnership and bespoke solutions
Stoke Newington School & Sixth Form has been a valued client of Steeldeck Rentals since 2022, returning to us year after year for our creative, flexible, and reliable staging solutions. Having received fantastic feedback from previous projects, the school was eager to collaborate with us once again for their Christmas production of High School Musical.

Over the years, we’ve worked closely with their team to design and install bespoke staging for various school plays. Our willingness to listen, adapt, and provide practical yet creative solutions has consistently made us their go-to staging partner.

Practical, safe, and flexible staging
For this production, the school required a 16’ x 6’ stage at a height of 3’6”, with:

  • Full-width tread access across the front for seamless cast entry
  • Additional get-off treads to stage left for smooth exits
  • Guardrails around the sides and back to ensure performer safety
  • Steeldeck Rentals delivered tailored, high-quality stage solutions with exceptional service for school production.

    To support their decision-making process, we presented several stage design options in varying sizes, enabling the school to consider both the aesthetic and technical requirements alongside their budget. Our detailed scale drawings and product catalogue were particularly helpful, giving the school valuable insights and aiding them in finalising their preferred design.

    Collaborative design and flawless execution
    Following a collaborative refinement process, we made further tweaks to the bespoke design to perfectly meet the school’s needs. Once the design was approved, we provided:

  • Finalised technical drawings for sign-off
  • A comprehensive Risk Assessment and Method Statement for the stage installation
  • Our team ensured the installation and de-rig were seamless, delivering the same high level of service we provide to all clients, whether they hire a single deck or require large-scale, complex structures. The school was delighted with the outcome, praising not only the quality of the staging but also our efficiency, flexibility, and customer service throughout the project.

    “Having used Steeldeck many times over the years, I was confident in the level of service I would receive. However, this year it was exceptional. Adjustments to my design requirements were done quickly and without any fuss, and the accompanying quotes were quickly altered accordingly. Truly exceptional service with a flawless end product.”
