Pools
Swimming pool design & construction.
Pools designed around exceptional homes. Design, engineering, construction and aftercare — delivered by one accountable, in-house team.
Bespoke Concrete Pools
Our core work. Monolithic reinforced concrete shells built to BS EN 1992 (Eurocode 2), with cast steps, ledges and any shape or depth your property calls for. Finished in mosaic, large-format tile or commercial-grade liners welded on site.
- Any size, shape or depth
- Cast corner steps and perimeter ledges
- Overflow skimmers & high waterline designs
- Natural stone and porcelain surrounds
One-Piece Pools
A factory-made shell, craned into position. Faster on site and ideal where space, access or timing is tight — without compromising on filtration, heating or finish.
- Efficient installation
- Counter-current swim units
- Custom stainless lids & cover trays
- Ideal for compact London gardens
Indoor & Enclosed Pools
Swim all year. Indoor pools and telescopic enclosures that extend the season, with heating and plant designed for year-round use.
- Indoor pool construction
- Architectural pool enclosures
- Year-round heating strategy
- Integrated saunas & steam rooms
Find the right swimming space.
What you don’t see
The best pools look effortless.
Building them isn’t.
The finished pool is only part of the story. Ground conditions, the shell and the systems behind the water all need to work together.
Not theory.
Decisions made on real sites.
One connected relationship
From the first conversation.
Beyond the first swim.
Consultation
We visit your home to understand the property, your ideas, the site and how the pool will be used.
Design & Specification
Structure, finishes, plant systems and long-term running considerations, defined clearly.
Build & Project Management
A single accountable team manages your project from excavation to finishing.
Commissioning & Handover
Pressure, soak and dye tested. We ensure everything performs and guide you through it.
Aftercare
Ongoing maintenance and support to protect your investment for the long term.
Before you begin
Questions about your pool project.
What affects the cost of a swimming pool?
The site, access, size, construction, finishes and equipment all shape the scope. Mermaid’s project records show different specifications for different properties. Discuss your own site for a project-specific proposal; there is no standard price published here.
How long does swimming pool construction take?
A programme depends on the property and the work involved. The Tunbridge Wells concrete pool was completed within four months, but that is a recorded project outcome, not a promised timescale for every pool.
Do you design, build and look after the pool?
Mermaid’s process covers consultation, design and specification, construction, commissioning and handover. Ongoing maintenance and servicing are also available.
Can an older swimming pool be refurbished?
Yes. Mermaid’s Biddenden, Brenchley and Sevenoaks projects retained existing structures after assessment. Testing establishes what can be kept and whether refurbishment is appropriate.
Where does Mermaid work?
London and the South East, including Kent, Surrey, East Sussex and West Sussex. Tell the team where your property is when discussing the project.
Planning a swimming pool project?
A no-obligation conversation with the family who will design, build and look after it — whether you’re at the very first idea or already working with an architect.
