Types of pools and swimming ponds available

Structural swimming pools/swimming ponds

Our structural swimming pools and ponds are built upon a reinforced concrete foundation. While this requires some curing time, it is the ultimate guarantee of longevity. We provide a ten-year guarantee on the concrete structure. The shell can be fully sunken into the ground or positioned partially above ground.

We design and build your pool or pond entirely bespoke. You have full control over the dimensions and the final finish – whether you prefer a liner, polyester or exposed concrete. We can seamlessly incorporate extras such as an integrated slatted pool cover or an outdoor shower.

Plunge pools

Compact in size but grand in experience: a plunge pool brings that holiday feeling right into your own back garden. It’s the ideal way to cool off on hot days, truly relax or enjoy time together. Thanks to its compact size, a plunge pool is the perfect solution for urban gardens and smaller outdoor spaces.

Above-ground pools

Our primary focus is on bespoke concrete pools and ponds. However, upon request, we can also construct above-ground pools, for instance, using timber framing. Feel free to send us a message if you’d like to explore the options.

Here is a brief overview of our process for building a structural concrete pool:

1. Initial consultation & site visit

During a site visit, we discuss the feasibility of your project, as well as the design and technical possibilities. We listen carefully to your requirements and investigate any regulations or environmental factors we need to consider.

2. Proposal & design review

Following the site visit, we draft a comprehensive proposal, including a bespoke design and the integration of surrounding landscaping. We then invite you to our showroom to go through the proposal. You can have it modified as you wish until it is absolutely perfect.

3. Excavation

Next, it’s time for action. We excavate the site to the required depth, width and length. Whether we remove the soil from the site or repurpose it depends on your property.

4. Soil analysis & foundations

We carry out a soil analysis and, if necessary, install a drainage system. We then pour a reinforced concrete slab to serve as a highly stable foundation.

5. Constructing the pool shell

We build the pool walls using STEPOC® concrete shuttering block. Straight, curved or organic shapes? Everything is completely bespoke. We also integrate technical elements such as skimmers, return inlets and lighting at this stage.

6. Liner finishing & technical installation

For the liner, you can choose from over 600 designs. We are happy to help you select the perfect look. Simultaneously, we install the technical equipment, including the pump, filters, heating and sanitisation systems. These components can be housed in your garden shed, a dedicated outbuilding, an underground enclosure, a cellar or a garage.

7. Installing a pool cover (optional, but highly recommended)

We strongly advise fitting a slatted cover to your pool. A cover significantly increases thermal efficiency and safety. This investment will save you both energy and money. For families with children, a cover is an essential protective measure.

8. Finishing the pool coping

We can finish the pool edges in natural stone, create an infinity edge or use the same material as your patio – always in perfect harmony with the surroundings. Even resin-bound paving is an option. You can completely personalise the coping to suit your taste and your broader garden design.

Once we’ve completed all these steps, your dream pool is ready! You will enjoy your meticulously crafted, bespoke swimming pool for many years to come.
