What we’ve learned building here is that there’s no such thing as a typical Tunbridge Wells garden. We’ve built a 14 metre pool with semi-commercial fittings for one family, and a compact pool that turned a small garden into a proper retreat for another, both within a few miles of each other and both award-winning. The question isn’t whether your garden is big enough. It’s what the right pool for it looks like.

Recent Projects in and around Tunbridge Wells
Two things come up again and again on Tunbridge Wells projects.
The first is that a lot of these gardens are established. Mature planting, existing terracing, trees that aren’t going anywhere. Getting a pool in without wrecking what’s already there is most of the skill, and on the Matfield project it meant working in step with the client’s landscapers rather than around them.
The second is access. Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding villages bring a real mix of sites, from built-up residential plots to narrow, winding lanes. Where access is restricted, we have used cranes, hand digging or temporarily removed and rebuilt walls to get the job done safely and efficiently.
See a selection of our Tunbridge Wells projects below, from refurbishments to large bespoke concrete pools and everything in between.

FAQs
There are lots of variables when it comes to the price of a swimming pool – size, tiles, finish. But on average, between £65,000 to £150,000 +
We construct pools all year round, but there are conditions and situations that we have to take into account, such as air temperature and even material temperatures. If either one of these is too high or too low, it can affect crystallisation and strength of the bonding and construction materials we use. Luckily, we know what we’re doing and won’t do anything that might negatively affect the quality of your pool. To guarantee a long-lasting and well-built pool, ALWAYS use the services of a professional and accredited company.
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.
We are very skilled at ensuring we protect the sites we are building on, whether a full pool build or a sauna install. We will always discuss access and storage with you before work begins. As in our Matfield project we have extensive experience working with landscape gardeners and garden designers to ensure your space is fully protected.
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 areas
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.
