Installation Service

We are pleased to offer our assembly service for above ground swimming pools. Please take note of the following important details outlining the scope and terms of our service. It's essential to understand that our service specifically covers the assembly process only. We do not undertake any groundwork or site preparation tasks. Our installation service aims to ensure the proper setup and installation of your purchased product. Our skilled professionals will perform the installation as per the guidelines and standards provided by the manufacturer.

Your Responsibility: Before our fitter arrives, it is your responsibility to ensure that the chosen area for the swimming pool is clear and properly prepared. This includes any necessary clearing and levelling of the ground. The area should be made ready for our fitter to proceed with the assembly. The fitter will not plug the pool or any accessories into ta power outlet, nor will they undertake any wiring work required to connect a heater to your mains electricity supply.

Unsuitable Areas: In the event that our fitter determines that the designated area for the swimming pool is unsuitable, possibly due to uneven ground or a steep slope, we maintain the right to decline completing the assembly. This decision is based on health and safety concerns. It's important to note that despite the assembly not taking place, the full installation charge will still apply.

Accessories: The installation service does not cover the connection of any heater that requires wiring into the mains, this work will need to be undertaken by a qualified electrician. The installer will not plug the pool or any accessories into a power outlet, this is your responsibility once the pool is assembled.

Warranty Coverage: It is important to note that the installation service does not extend to cover any after-sales warranty issues. Any concerns or problems arising after the installation will be treated as if the product was purchased without the installation service included. The manufacturer's warranty or any applicable warranty terms will apply in such cases.

Cancellation: If an assembly appointment is cancelled after it has been confirmed with yourself by our assembly team, a cancellation charge of £35 will be incurred.

We appreciate your understanding of these terms and conditions related to our assembly service. By purchasing the service, you acknowledge and accept these terms.
