Ask whether they are SPATA members. The Swimming Pool and Allied Trades Association inspects its installer members and runs a warranty scheme. It is the nearest thing this trade has to a licence.
We build the whole thing — the dig, the shell, the filtration, the heating and the cover. One team, a fixed price once we have surveyed it, and ten years on the structure.
A liner pool, 8 × 4 m · Cuckfield
We are not a middleman. The building, the plant and the servicing afterwards are all our own people, with one of them answerable for your job from start to finish. There is a full comparison of liner, fibreglass and concrete in the kinds of pool.
Liner, one-piece fibreglass and concrete pools, sized to the garden you have. The dig, the shell, the insulation and the paving round it.
Low, mid and full-height enclosures that stretch the season, keep the heat in and keep the leaves out. Sliding or fixed.
Sand filtration, air source heat pumps, counter-current units, LED lighting and automatic dosing. Specified to the volume of water, not to a catalogue.
Opened up in spring and shut down properly in autumn. A filtration or pump fault is dealt with within 48 hours anywhere in the county.
We will sort out the pH, the sanitiser and the hardness, and supply enough to see the season through. Clear water without the green fortnight.
Sunken hot tubs, outdoor showers, steps, skimmers and solar heating — the bits that turn a pool into somewhere you actually sit.
A rough figure in a few seconds, with no email and no phone call — the numbers are right there. The exact quote is free and comes after the survey.
You know what happens and when. No dates that quietly move and no “we will settle up at the end”. The week-by-week and the service rates are on the page How the build works and what servicing costs.
We come to the garden, measure up and talk about how you will actually use it — where the pool should sit and what plant it needs.
A drawing, the plant specification and a priced schedule. On paper, with nothing tucked away in it.
The dig, the shell, the insulation, the pipework and the paving. A usual pool is handed over in two to four weeks.
We fill it, commission it and show you how to run it. Then we stay on hand for servicing, winterising and chemicals.
A few from recent seasons. On every one we did the building, the plant and the ground round it.

A pool is a twenty year job. It should be something you stop thinking about — from signing to every season after it.
The building and the plant are done by our own team, with one person answerable from the dig to the handover.
You get the schedule in black and white. Nothing extra appears at the end.
The liner and the shell carry an extended guarantee. Plant is two to five years as standard.
If the filtration plays up in July you do not wait weeks. Anywhere in Sussex or Surrey, we are there within two days.
Winterising, spring opening and chemicals. We ring you before the first frost, not after it.
We know Wealden clay and we know sloping gardens — and where the trouble is before it starts.
They cost nothing to ask and they sort out most of the field.

Ask who does the electrics. A pool is a special location under the wiring regulations. The bonding and the RCD protection have to be right and certificated, and that is not a job for a general builder.
Ask what running it costs. A heat pump on a covered pool and an uncovered one are different bills entirely. Anybody who will not put a yearly figure on it has not worked it out.
