The Pool You've Pictured, In Your Own Garden

Somewhere to swim every morning, a spa to unwind in, or a steam room at the end of the day. We design each one around your home and how you'll use it.

A well-built pool should feel like it was always part of your home. One family-run team designs, builds, tanks and tests every project, and nothing is tiled until it has held water for seven days.

Our process

Built Properly, Step By Step

  1. Long indoor pool in a white, top-lit pool hall
    STEP 01

    Survey & Design

    We visit, measure up and design around your property. For refurbishments we start with a structural survey, so the price is real before work begins.

  2. Sprayed concrete going onto a reinforced pool wall
    STEP 02

    The Concrete Shell

    Cast, sprayed or ICF concrete, chosen to suit your site and design. Sprayed concrete shells carry a 10-year warranty.

  3. Tanked pool shell with tiling materials ready
    STEP 03

    Waterproofed & Tested

    30mm render and 60mm screed laid level to within 1 to 2mm, a mesh-reinforced tanking membrane, then a seven-day water test before a single tile goes on.

  4. Mosaic tiling under way in an indoor pool
    STEP 04

    Finished By Hand

    Mosaic, glass or porcelain, fixed with pool-grade adhesives and grout. Choose epoxy grout and the tiling warranty runs to five years.

  5. Indoor pool with a black finish and lit wall sculptures
    STEP 05

    Looked After For Years

    Our own engineers service and maintain what we build, from filtration to heating and covers.

FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

How much does a pool cost?

It depends entirely on the size, site and finish. We take on everything from repairs to builds of £1 million and more, and there's no minimum job. We quote after a site visit, so the figure reflects your project, not a guess.

What warranty do I get?

On a new build: 10 years on the sprayed concrete shell, 3 years on render and screed, and 3 years on tiling with cement grout, rising to 5 years with epoxy grout. On a refurbishment: 3 years on render, tanking and cement-based grout, extended to 5 years with epoxy grout. The existing structure isn't covered, which is why every refurbishment starts with a survey.

How do you make sure it won't leak?

Every shell is rendered and screeded, then reinforcing mesh goes into every corner and junction before a 3 to 4mm mesh-reinforced tanking membrane goes over the lot. Once that's cured, we fill the pool and leave it for a seven-day water test before any tiling starts.

Can you refurbish my existing pool?

Yes. We start with a survey of the structure and waterproofing. Depending on what we find, we'll repair it, build a new shell inside the old one, rebuild it, or fit a new on-site welded liner.

Where do you work?

We're based in Cheam, Sutton and work across London, Surrey and the rest of England.

How long does a build take?
