Swimming pool design
Our highly skilled designers work closely with architects and clients on the design and construction of swimming pools, spas and leisure areas for both private and commercial clients.
At the project concept stage, we have a detailed discussion with the architect, without charge, to enable initial concepts to move forward to an initial design. A flow of workable ideas allows us to supply a preliminary performance specification, which is priced prior to nomination. Upon commission, we consult with the project structural engineer and then submit detailed drawings for construction.
When you've confirmed the core concept for the swimming pool and/or spa installation, our designers take full responsibility for the project, from initial design through to construction and landscaping where relevant. We provide detailed design proposals, with all construction equipment and materials itemised and individually priced. We handle a wide variety of swimming pools – from a simple lap pool to highly complex projects including infinity edge, linear deck slot, standard deck level overflow and letterbox surface flow – all of which require surface distribution channels and balance tank controls.
Quality as standard
Our designs always include:
- A flow schematic
- Hydraulic design criteria
- Air duty with AHU specification and duct routes with sizes
- Flow pipe sizing
- Filter/pump and water treatment specification
- Plan and section of plantroom
- Plan and section of pool/spa with all penetrations for waterflow and lighting
- Builders’ works detail can also be incorporated where necessary
The complexities of design and construction, particularly in central London where space is very much at a premium, means that we work closely with project architects, structural engineers, M&E consultants and interior designers. This fusion of disciplines enables us to design and build outstanding swimming pools and spas, which are always delivered on time and on budget.
Technology, finishes and floors
As a market leader, we bring the latest technology to swimming pool design and installation including:
- High-efficiency and environmentally-friendly heating systems
- A wide selection of LED lighting systems from brand leaders such as Wibre and EVAoptic, which create dramatic effects in and around the pool and spa area
- An amazing array of interior and exterior pool and spa finishes including high-performance man-made finishes such as porcelain and glass mosaic. We work with a wide range of tile producers including Stonegres, Bisazza, Waxman, Vetruvius and designer Craig Bragdy Design in order to create exquisite finishes
- Innovative moving floor pools from leading suppliers including Hydrofloors, manufacturers of the advanced Hydrofloors Moveable Floor System, for whom we're an authorised dealer. Adjustable moving floors are used on indoor and outdoor pools to create multi-purpose areas. When the adjustable floor covers the pool, the swimming area is instantly transformed into a solid floor that can be used for a multitude of purposes from an outdoor terrace to an indoor orchestral practice hall
- We supply and install beautiful fibreglass one piece swimming pools that will integrate smoothly into almost any setting. We are able to provide this thanks to our partnership with LPW Pools
Swimming pool construction
We've been offering swimming pool construction services for pools and spas for more than 40 years. Delivering award-winning turnkey solutions, we can take care of every single aspect of the construction process or we can work as a sub-contractor when required.
We work closely with clients and architects to discuss the pool or spa concept, agree on every detail of the project, and provide a precise quotation for all components. This approach ensures that we deliver exactly what's required at the agreed budget.
With such a long heritage in designing bespoke swimming pools and spas, we've developed a unique and versatile range of construction methods that allow us to build in almost any style and in any location. We're specialists in Permanent Shuttering System (PSS) and sprayed concrete (shotcrete), and use the latest materials and leading-edge technical and environmental techniques to solve complex projects such as pools with moving floors. We're also renowned for constructing underground pools, particularly in confined spaces, beneath the main property or garden with a link to the residence.
Working to the highest standards
We work to stringent industry regulations and all our pool engineers are qualified to the standards of the Institute of Swimming Pool engineers (ISPE) and to the CITB Construction Skills Certification Scheme. Our gas heating engineers are GASSAFE registered and our electrical engineers are trained to comply with NICEIC.
