What does a swimming pool installation involve?
Swimming pool construction is a long process that typically involves several key stages.
It begins with the initial consultation, in which the construction company will assess what kind of pool you want - including the size, shape, depth, and features of the pool - and what the job will require. This stage also includes assessing the site, soil type, and access for equipment.
They will then get started on the design and planning, and securing planning permission if necessary.
Once everything is approved, excavation begins. This involves digging the hole for the pool, removing soil, and preparing the ground for construction. Proper excavation will ensure stability and drainage.
Plumbing and electrical work is next, including installing pipes for water circulation, filtration systems, and any lighting or heating elements. These systems need to be carefully laid out before the pool structure is built.
Then, the pool itself is built in the construction and plastering phase. The main pool shell is formed using concrete, fibreglass, or other materials, and a waterproof finish is applied.
Finally, the area is completed with decking and landscaping, which may include paving, tiling, or planting to integrate the pool with its surroundings.
What type of swimming pool can I have installed?
There are a number of types of swimming pool you can have constructed in your home or property. They include:
Indoor swimming pools
Outdoor swimming pools
Hydrotherapy pools
Hidden pools
Endless pools
Infinity pools
You can also choose between different shapes and designs, as well as different finishes such as decking and tiling.
How long does it take to install a swimming pool?
Constructing a swimming pool typically takes between three weeks and four months from start to finish - that’s including everything from the initial plans to dipping your toes in for the first time.
Outdoor pools can be installed quickly - only three weeks, in some circumstances. Building an indoor pool, however, can take up to four months of work
Depending on your project, you may need to allow 1-4 weeks for each of the following stages of the construction:
Planning, design, and securing planning permission
Excavation
Plumbing, electrical, and steel installation
Construction and plastering
Decking, landscaping, and other finishing touches
Timelines can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the design, weather conditions, and any unforeseen delays, but a professional installer will keep things moving as efficiently as possible.
How much does a swimming pool installation cost?
According to our figures, the average cost of installing an indoor swimming pool is £85,000 - £220,000, while the average cost of installing an outdoor swimming pool is £135,000.
The cost will of course vary depending on the job and the design of your pool, which is why it’s important to get quotes tailored for you. You can also expect different costs if you’re building a specialist type of pool, such as a hydrotherapy pool or infinity pool.
