residential - frequently asked questions
Do you really take care of the complete project?
Yes, we carry out the site surveys, design and manufacture our own buildings and we efficiently and professionally manage the swimming pool project throughout, taking care of everything from initial planning applications through to final commissioning.
We are also happy to quote on clients' or architects' own drawings, and add our own ideas and experience so that we can provide you with an exceptional and individual indoor swimming pool.
Can your indoor swimming pool buildings have the same external appearance as our house and can it be attached?
We design and build fully insulated traditional pool halls with external finishes in stone, brick, or render etc, to meet the requirements of clients and planners. These can either be freestanding or linked onto your home.
Are the pools easy to maintain?
Modern pool equipment is user friendly and our clients tell us that on average they spend about half an hour to an hour each week cleaning the pool, checking the chemical levels and the filtration system.
Does an indoor swimming pool always need Planning Permission?
The planning laws have recently been relaxed somewhat for freestanding outbuildings which are often considered to be Permitted Development and not need planning permission. However, this is subject to certain limits and conditions which we will be happy to discuss with you. When a site survey is carried out, we can usually determine whether Permitted Development will apply or whether a planning application is required. If planning permission is necessary we can take care of the application on your behalf.
Do you carry out installations in my area?
We install indoor swimming pools throughout the UK and Ireland, sometimes using the services of our local agents. Please see our Resouces page for more information.
