Pool Maintenance and Cleaning
A clean, well balanced pool should feel effortless to enjoy. In reality, water chemistry changes daily, filters clog, and debris quickly builds up, especially during warm weather or periods of heavy use. Our pool maintenance and cleaning service keeps your water clear, safe, and inviting with consistent care and the right equipment for the job.
We support homeowners, landlords, and commercial sites with dependable visits and responsive troubleshooting. Whether you need a one off deep clean before guests arrive or a structured plan for the entire season, we tailor the service to your pool type, usage, and local conditions.
What Our Pool Cleaning Service Includes
Every pool is different, so we start with a quick assessment and then follow a structured checklist to protect your water quality and your equipment. Our technicians work carefully around tiles, liners, and pool surrounds to avoid damage while delivering a noticeably cleaner finish.
- Skimming and debris removal from the surface, baskets, and hard to reach corners
- Brushing of walls, steps, and waterline to reduce algae growth and staining
- Vacuuming to remove settled dirt, grit, and organic matter
- Filter checks and cleaning including backwash support where applicable
- Water testing for key parameters like chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and stabiliser
- Chemical dosing guidance to restore balance and improve comfort for swimmers
- Visual equipment inspection for pumps, timers, valves, and visible pipework
If your outdoor area also needs attention, we can coordinate scheduling alongside garden maintenance services so the pool and surrounding space stay equally presentable.
Water Chemistry and Hygiene You Can Trust
Clear water is not always clean water. Poor balance can cause skin and eye irritation, cloudy water, scale build up, and corrosion of fittings. We focus on stability, not quick fixes, using accurate testing and careful adjustments so the pool remains comfortable and safe between visits.
Common issues we address
- Cloudy water caused by fine particles, high bather load, or filtration problems
- Algae from low sanitiser levels, warm temperatures, or poor circulation
- Strong chlorine smell often linked to chloramines and inadequate shock treatment
- Scale and staining from high calcium hardness or metal content
When needed, we can recommend a recovery plan with staged steps such as shock treatment, improved filtration cycles, clarifiers, or targeted algae control. We explain what we are doing and why, so you can make informed decisions about ongoing care.
Seasonal Pool Care and Equipment Support
Season changes affect how your pool behaves. Spring opening often brings debris, winter residue, and imbalanced chemistry. Mid season maintenance keeps performance steady during frequent use. Autumn and winter preparation helps protect plumbing, fittings, and surfaces when the pool is used less or closed.
Seasonal options
- Opening clean including debris removal, first balance, and filter start up checks
- Peak season visits weekly or fortnightly to maintain clarity and sanitisation
- End of season service to reduce organic build up and minimise off season problems
- Cover support guidance on cleaning, fitting, and storage to extend lifespan
We also keep an eye out for early warning signs like unusual pump noise, weak return flow, air in the system, or drifting chemical readings. Catching these issues early often prevents costly failures and prolonged downtime. If your pool area is part of a broader outdoor upgrade, we can align visits with professional landscaping services to reduce disruption and keep everything looking its best.
Service Plans, One Off Visits, and What to Expect
Choose the level of support that fits your schedule and how you use the pool. Many clients prefer a recurring plan for consistent results, while others book a deep clean after storms, parties, or long gaps in maintenance.
- Regular maintenance plans tailored to pool size, equipment, and usage
- One off deep cleaning for neglected pools, property viewings, or event preparation
- Holiday cover to prevent algae blooms and keep chemistry stable while you are away
- Commercial routines with reliable scheduling and clear service notes
During each visit we work methodically, leave the area tidy, and provide clear feedback on water condition and any recommended next steps. For properties where the pool sits within a managed garden, pairing our service with landscaping and gardening support can keep the entire outdoor space consistently maintained.
To book pool maintenance and cleaning, contact us with your pool type, approximate size, and how often you would like visits, and we will propose a plan that keeps your water clean, balanced, and ready to enjoy.
FAQ
How often should my pool be cleaned and tested?
Most outdoor pools benefit from weekly cleaning during warm months, especially with regular use. Water should be tested at least weekly to keep chlorine and pH stable. In cooler periods, fortnightly visits may be enough depending on debris and bather load.
Can you recover a pool that has turned green or cloudy?
Yes, we can assess the cause and apply a step by step recovery plan, which may include shock treatment, brushing, vacuuming, and filter cleaning. Results depend on how severe the bloom is and how well the filtration system is performing. We will also advise how to prevent the issue from returning.
Do I need to be at home during the maintenance visit?
Not always, as long as we have safe access to the pool area and equipment. We can agree entry instructions in advance and leave a service update after the visit. If any repairs or extra chemical treatments are recommended, we will contact you before proceeding.
