Client Brief
This Cambridge-based homeowner approached Traditional Pools looking for a full renovation of their ageing outdoor swimming pool. With a heatwave just around the corner, timing was crucial. The brief was to modernise the pool, improve its efficiency, and create a beautiful, usable space for year-round enjoyment.
Scope of Work
This project was a comprehensive overhaul from the ground up. From the pool’s internal systems to its aesthetic features and surrounding landscaping, no detail was overlooked. Our goal was to blend long-lasting functionality with striking visual appeal.
Project Highlights and Upgrades
Full Pipework Replacement:
Every inch of the existing pipework was removed and replaced with brand-new, high-performance plumbing to improve reliability and flow efficiency.
Spa Removal:
As part of the renovation, the client chose to remove the existing spa, which was previously integrated into the pool structure but no longer aligned with their needs. Our team carefully decommissioned and filled in the spa area, ensuring structural integrity and a seamless visual finish.
New Shell Fittings:
All shell fittings were upgraded to modern, corrosion-resistant fixtures for optimal long-term durability.
On-Site Pool Lining:
A new on-site pool lining was expertly installed, creating a watertight, clean finish and giving the pool a fresh, contemporary look.
New Filtration System with AFM®:
The pool's filtration system was fully upgraded and filled with Activated Filter Media (AFM®), delivering superior water clarity and reduced chemical usage.
Air Source Heat Pump Installation:
A new air source heat pump was added to make year-round swimming possible, dramatically improving comfort and energy efficiency.
Copings:
The pool’s elegant curved edges were enhanced with beautifully installed Copin stones, laid by our trusted partners at DWL Gardens.
Landscaping:
The entire outdoor area was transformed with expert landscaping by Sid Bibby Turf & Landscaping, including premium paving and hardscaping to complement the newly renovated pool.
The Result
The outcome is a sleek, modern, and energy-efficient outdoor pool area—delivered just in time for the summer heat. Every aspect, from the upgraded pipework and filtration to the stunning stonework and planting, contributes to a premium, long-lasting finish.
