Grantchester Pools - Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How long does a bespoke pool project typically take from start to finish in the Cambridge area?
A: The timeline for a bespoke pool project in Cambridge can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the design, the size of the pool, ground conditions, and the time of year. However, a typical process involves an initial consultation, design development (which can take several weeks), planning permission (if required, which usually takes around 8-12 weeks nationally but we handle this locally), and then the construction phase. Construction itself can take anywhere from 6 weeks to several months. Our team works with you to create a detailed project plan specific to your Cambridge property.
Q2: Do I need planning permission for a swimming pool in Cambridgeshire?
A: Generally, swimming pools fall under Permitted Development rights, meaning planning permission might not be required for standard designs. However, this can depend on factors like size, location (e.g., near listed buildings or conservation areas), and proximity to neighbours. Building Regulations approval is almost always necessary, covering structural safety, drainage, and safety features. We are experienced in navigating the local planning landscape in Cambridgeshire and will guide you through the process.
Q3: What types of pool designs and features do you offer for properties in Cambridge?
A: We specialize in bespoke designs, so the possibilities are vast! We can create virtually any shape imaginable. Common designs requested in the Cambridge area include Infinity pools, L-shaped, kidney-shaped, freeform, and multi-level designs. Features can range from integrated lighting and water features to sophisticated filtration systems, heating (including solar options), and even incorporating underfloor heating for year-round comfort. We work closely with you to ensure the design complements your home's architecture and your personal taste.
Q4: What materials are used for the pool shells and finishes?
A: We primarily use high-quality, durable materials suited for longevity and low maintenance. Common options include Fibreglass Reinforced Concrete (GRP) and high-grade concrete. We offer a wide selection of finishes for concrete pools, including plaster (e.g., quartz, marble, pebble, quartzite), tile linings, and coloured screeds. Fibreglass shells come in various colours and finishes. The choice depends on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and long-term maintenance considerations, all discussed thoroughly during your Cambridge-based design consultation.
Q5: What kind of maintenance is required for a luxury bespoke pool?
A: While bespoke luxury pools are built to last, they do require regular maintenance to keep them clean, functional, and looking their best. This typically involves daily skimming, weekly cleaning and balancing of the water chemistry, periodic brushing of the surfaces and walls, and regular filter cleaning or backwashing. We provide detailed guidance on maintenance procedures and can also discuss potential service packages available locally in Cambridgeshire to ensure your investment remains pristine.
