Swimming Pools

A pool shell is a reinforced concrete structure first and a swimming pool second: the same groundworks, formwork and reinforcement trades we run on every job, built to hold water instead of a floor slab.

What's included

Built like any structure that has to hold its shape

A domestic pool is excavated, formed, reinforced and poured the same way as a basement or a retaining structure, just with tighter tolerances and a waterstop detail at every joint. Because groundworks, formwork and reinforcement are all run in-house, the pool shell doesn't get passed between separate subcontractors who've never worked together before.

  • Excavation to the pool profile
  • Formwork to the shell, steps and benching
  • Reinforcement fixed to the pool engineer's design
  • Waterstop detailing at construction joints
  • Surrounds and hardstanding for coping and decking
  • Shell left ready for your tiler or renderer
