    What this category covers

    About our swimming pools work

    A residential swimming pool is a structural and mechanical project, not a landscaping job. The shell has to retain 40–80 tonnes of water against ground pressure, the plant room has to filter, heat and dose the water through a closed loop without leaking, and the surround has to drain to SUDS standards without flooding the neighbour.

    We build reinforced concrete-shell pools — the construction method that lasts 50+ years with proper aftercare, versus 10–15 years for liner pools and 8–12 years for fibreglass. Most of our pool clients are owner-occupiers with garden depth in the Essex commuter belt — Buckhurst Hill, Loughton, Chigwell — and high-spec Hackney, Wanstead and South Woodford homes commissioning a pool alongside a rear extension or basement project.

    Every pool runs through one contract: ground survey and feasibility, planning where required, excavation, reinforced shell, mechanical first-fix, waterproofing, tiling and coping, plant room build, commissioning and landscape handover. Building Control sign-off and SUDS compliance are included — not bolted on by a third party three months after handover.

    Why RJS for this category

    Why East London homeowners choose us for swimming pools

    Pool construction is unforgiving — the structure has to hold water for fifty years and the plant has to run quietly for ten. Three things separate how we approach it:

    Concrete shell, not liner

    Reinforced sprayed-concrete or twin-skin block construction. 50+ year design life. No liner replacement every 10–15 years. Tile finish that doesn't fade or wrinkle.

    Plant room sized for the pool, not the budget

    Filter rated for actual pool volume with at least one full turnover every 4–6 hours. Heat pump sized to your usage pattern (April–October vs. year-round). Pipework in solvent-weld PVC, not push-fit.

    Ground and drainage understood first

    10-year structural guarantee, written

    On the shell and waterproofing. Plus manufacturer warranties on plant, tiling and lighting. Annual aftercare contract optional.
