There are lots of variables when it comes to the price of a swimming pool, including its size, construction method, finishes and specification. Typically, our swimming pool projects range from £65,000 to £150,000+.

We regularly work across the north of East Sussex and the wider Sussex Weald, including Crowborough, Wadhurst, Mayfield and the surrounding countryside.

Our usual working area is approximately 40 to 50 miles from our base near Sandhurst in Kent, but that is a guide rather than a strict boundary. If you’re elsewhere in East Sussex, contact us with your location and project and we’ll let you know whether we can help.

Heating and heat retention should be considered together.

The correct heating system depends on factors including pool size, water volume and how many months of the year you want to swim. A suitable pool cover can then help retain that heat when the pool is not being used.

Our 155m³ Crowborough pool uses two heat pumps because extending the swimming season formed part of the original specification.

Yes. Pool equipment needs to be sized around the actual pool and how it will be used.

Larger water volumes place greater demands on filtration and heating, so these systems should be specified as part of the overall design. For our 14m × 6m Crowborough project, two heat pumps were incorporated to meet the requirements of the 155m³ pool.

Swimming pools typically start at 5m in length and in domestic settings normally extend up to 16m or longer. But if you prefer a 25m lap pool or even a compact 2.5m × 2.5m plunge pool, we can build that too. It really depends on how much space you have.

Absolutely! We highly recommend and encourage customising your swimming pool to be exactly as you want. This could be as simple as choosing a unique coloured tile or surround, or as extensive as adding a custom beach area, swim training zone, or specialised steps. A pool is a lifetime investment that you want to use all year round for exercise, entertainment and relaxation, so make it your own.

Outdoor domestic swimming pools typically don’t require planning permission since they can usually be installed under permitted development rights. They’re considered incidental to the enjoyment of the main house and can be built without an application, as long as they meet specific limits and conditions.
We recommend checking with your local planning authority, especially if your property or the surrounding area has any of the following classifications:

• Designated land
• National Landscape
• Green Belt land
• Listed building
• Conservation area.

A typical in-ground swimming pool installation takes 4 to 16 weeks, though some projects can be completed in as little as 3 weeks. The timeline varies based on the pool type (Gunite, Cast Concrete or Mono-block), size, complexity and custom features. Concrete pools generally take longer due to the curing process, especially for complex custom projects – but their customisation options and durability make the extra time worthwhile.
