About Our Swimming Pools

Putting a pool into a garden is largely a groundworks job: we handle excavation, base preparation and structural installation of either a one-piece GRP shell or a block-built liner structure, alongside a pool specialist supplying the shell, liner and filtration equipment. Once levelled, the area is backfilled, compacted and prepared for the chosen surround, with ducting and connection points coordinated for the pump and filtration fit-out.

Why Choose Us

We're a local Nottinghamshire team and pool groundwork is a significant undertaking, so we make sure the customer understands each stage before it happens rather than springing surprises once the ground's opened up.

Being local means we're easy to reach if anything needs checking on once the job's done, not a name on an invoice from somewhere else.

What Affects the Price

•Pool size, shape and depth
•Ground conditions, including clay, rock or high water table
•Site access for excavation machinery and material delivery
•Shell or liner type chosen
•Surround finish, such as coping, decking or paving

Common Questions

What type of pool can you install?

For domestic gardens this typically means a GRP fibreglass shell pool or a block-built structure with a liner. We handle the groundworks, excavation and structural installation, coordinating with a pool specialist where the shell, liner or filtration equipment needs their input.

Do you fit the pump and filtration system?

That side of the job is specialist work, usually handled by a pool equipment specialist. We make sure the ducting and connection points are in place during the groundworks so that fit-out can happen without having to dig anything back up.

How long does the groundwork for a pool take?

It depends on the size of the pool and the ground conditions on site. Excavation and base preparation can take longer where the ground is difficult to dig or where access for machinery is limited, so timescales are discussed properly at the site visit rather than given as a rough guess upfront.
