How to keep your pool maintained
Proper maintenance ensures your pool remains clean, safe, and functional:
- Regular Cleaning: Skim debris daily, vacuum weekly, and scrub pool surfaces to prevent algae buildup.
- Monitor Water Quality: Test pH and chlorine levels regularly to maintain a healthy balance. Add chemicals as needed.
- Check Filtration Systems: Clean or replace filters as recommended by the manufacturer to keep water circulating properly.
- Winterize Your Pool: If you live in a cold climate, close your pool properly during winter to prevent damage.
Hiring a professional for regular maintenance can save you time and ensure everything is in top condition.
Other swimming pool installation FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a swimming pool?
In most cases, planning permission is not required for residential swimming pools, but always check with your local authority, especially if your property is in a conservation area.
What is the best material for an in-ground pool?
Concrete and fiberglass are the most popular options. Concrete is durable and customizable, while fiberglass offers quicker installation and lower maintenance.

Hi I’m Joe of JAS Property Maintenance and also JSB Bespoke metal and woodwork. I have recently gone back to working on my own but I have been in the building trade since I was young working with family members then to college to pass my brickwork picked up a lot along the way working with many trades which I find makes me unique as I can come in and do most things you may need. The metal and woodwork side has been the more recent years even though I still did the building and house renovating on weekends but I can make gates, fencing, security bars, fancy art products and much more. Hope to do work for you in the near future Joe
