If you'd like to be swimming in your own pool next summer, the time to start planning your swimming pool build is now. A good pool takes careful planning, and the best build slots in spring and summer go early.
1. The first visit
We start by visiting your home to understand how you want to use the pool, look at the site and talk about options: indoor or outdoor, the type of pool, the size, heating and covers. It's also when we look at access for machinery and anything that might affect the build, such as ground conditions or services.
2. Design and quote
We then put together a design and a detailed quote. It sets out exactly what's included, from the pool structure to the plant room, heating, cover and surrounds, so there are no surprises later.
3. Permissions
Some pools need planning permission, and most need some thought about building regulations, drainage and electrics. Requirements vary from site to site, so we'll tell you early what's likely to be needed and how it affects the timeline.
4. The build
- Excavation and groundworks
- The pool structure: concrete, a one-piece shell or a Niveko system
- Pipework, plant room and electrics
- Finishes: tiles, liner, copings and surrounds
- Heating, cover and controls
The time on site depends on the type of pool and the size of the job. One-piece and Niveko pools are usually quicker to install than a fully tiled concrete pool.
5. Filling, commissioning and handover
Once the pool is filled, we commission the plant, balance the water and show you how everything works. Many owners then keep us on for servicing, so the team that built the pool looks after it.
