Liam was excellent from start to finish, helpful when quoting and explaining various options, accommodating by working on a weekend and considerate with noise and mess, working around a napping baby and reactive dog. Left everything clean and tidy. Would 100% recommend.

How long does it take?

Above-Ground Pools: These can often be installed within 1-3 days, depending on the complexity of the setup.

In-Ground Pools: Installation for in-ground pools typically takes 4-8 weeks, including excavation, construction, and finishing.

Custom Pools: Pools with additional features or intricate designs may take up to 12 weeks or more to complete.

How to keep your pool maintained

Proper maintenance ensures your pool remains clean, safe, and functional:

  • Regular Cleaning: Skim debris daily, vacuum weekly, and scrub pool surfaces to prevent algae buildup.
  • Monitor Water Quality: Test pH and chlorine levels regularly to maintain a healthy balance. Add chemicals as needed.
  • Check Filtration Systems: Clean or replace filters as recommended by the manufacturer to keep water circulating properly.
  • Winterize Your Pool: If you live in a cold climate, close your pool properly during winter to prevent damage.

Hiring a professional for regular maintenance can save you time and ensure everything is in top condition.

Other swimming pool installation FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a swimming pool?

In most cases, planning permission is not required for residential swimming pools, but always check with your local authority, especially if your property is in a conservation area.

What is the best material for an in-ground pool?

Concrete and fiberglass are the most popular options. Concrete is durable and customizable, while fiberglass offers quicker installation and lower maintenance.

Can I install a pool in a small garden?

Yes, small or custom lap pools can be designed to fit compact spaces, providing a luxurious feature even in smaller gardens.

We have had nothing but excellant work from Ross Glover. From the quotation, he came out himself along with a plumber and electrician to give a true quotation. His work has been of excellant standard. His workers are very reliable and we are kept up to date at every stage of the build. Their knowledge and professionalism is fantastic and have given us good advice and resolve problems which have come to light. They have also been able to help save costs on the build aswell.

Mike and his brother have done a fantastic job on my garden! I needed a complete make over, removing a large area of concrete and a complete redesign. The quote was competitive and clearly listed the work to be done. They both worked through awful weather conditions, including snow to get the job done quickly and to a top standard.
