Inground Pool Types
Each inground pool type requires specific demolition techniques and equipment to ensure proper removal and site preparation.
Concrete Inground Pools
Concrete or gunite swimming pools have a concrete shell reinforced with steel rebar. These pools are highly customisable and durable, with tile finishes around the waterline and stone or concrete coping along the edge. Whilst concrete pools have excellent longevity, their removal requires specialised equipment to break through the reinforced structure.
Fibreglass Inground Pools
Fibreglass pools consist of pre-manufactured shells installed as single units. These pools are known for their smooth surfaces, low maintenance requirements, and resistance to algae growth. During inground pool demolition, fibreglass structures can often be removed in large sections, making the process more straightforward than concrete removal.
Vinyl-Lined Inground Pools
In vinyl-lined pools, a flexible liner is stretched over a structural framework made from aluminium, steel, plastic, or masonry blocks. The vinyl liner provides a smooth, watertight surface whilst the underlying structure offers support. Some older vinyl-lined pools may have concrete block walls that require different demolition approaches.
Benefits of Professional Pool Removal
Removing your unused swimming pool offers numerous advantages beyond simply reclaiming yard space:
Reduced Maintenance Costs
You will no longer have expenses for pool chemicals, equipment repairs, water consumption, and regular cleaning, potentially saving thousands of pounds annually.
Enhanced Safety
Unused pools can be serious safety hazards, particularly for families with young children, elderly relatives, or pets. Professional pool removal eliminates drowning risks and liability concerns associated with pool ownership.
Increased Property Appeal
Removing an old or damaged pool can broaden your buyer pool when selling your home. Plus, many buyers prefer properties without the maintenance responsibilities of pool ownership, potentially making your property easier to sell.
Additional Usable Space
Pool removal creates valuable outdoor living space for entertaining areas, vegetable gardens, play equipment, or simply more lawn for family activities. This functional space often provides more enjoyment than an unused pool.
The Inground Pool Removal Process
Each step of the process is carried out by experienced professionals using specialised equipment.
Initial Assessment and Permits
A site inspection determines the pool type, size, and accessibility. Our team applies for all necessary council permits and approvals on your behalf.
This preparation phase includes checking for underground utility lines such as gas, electricity, water, and sewerage connections.
Pool Draining and Preparation
Before demolition begins, we drain the pool according to local authority requirements. Electrical connections are disconnected by licensed electricians, and all pool equipment, fencing, and decking materials are carefully removed. This ensures a clean workspace for the demolition phase.
Demolition Method
All materials, including concrete, fibreglass, steel reinforcement, and pool structures, are fully excavated and removed from your property.
This eliminates the risk of the site settling in the future and allows unrestricted use of the space for landscaping, patios, or even future building projects.
Backfilling and Compaction
Following demolition, we fill the pool cavity with clean fill soil, adding material in layers. Each layer is thoroughly compacted using specialised equipment to prevent future sinking or settling. Compaction is critical for creating a stable surface that will support grass, gardens, or outdoor features.
Final Grading and Restoration
The final step involves grading the surface to match the surrounding landscape and ensure proper drainage. We leave your yard clean, level, and ready for whatever plans you have next. All debris is removed from your property, and the area is cleaned.
