Which ever type of swimming pool you decide on, indoor or out, we will ensure that you have many happy years of swimming in your James White designer pool!
Concrete Pools
We offer a first class design & construction service for both reinforced concrete, with a tiled finish or vinyl-lined swimming pools. A high tensile steel reinforcing framework is fixed throughout the pool and high quality concrete is pneumatically sprayed in place and with the floor & walls being a monolithic construction they are normally sprayed in one day
The concrete has a tensile strength of almost double that of normal concrete and is free from construction and work joints as it is absolutely essential that there is no movement or cracking within the pool shell or water loss and subsequent damage can result.
In a Concrete swimming pool the finish is applied directly to the walls and floor of the pool. The shell of the pool is therefore the water retaining unit and for this reason the construction has to be very strong, to be able to withstand the pressure exerted by the water.
Coping stones are then placed around the pool to finish the edge. This type of pool offers greater flexibility as it can be formed into different shapes and the internal finishes can be created to your specific taste, whether plain tiles or perhaps a brightly coloured mosaic.
Liner Pools
The construction of a liner swimming pool, a cheaper alternative to a tiled concrete pool, consists of a thermal panel wall, which provides the finished shape and the liner is then placed into the shell and fixed in position. Coping stones are then placed around the pool to finish the edge.
One piece PVC liners provide the necessary waterproofing & decorative lining, by creating a 'bag' effect holding the weight and pressure of the water, i.e. the liner is the water retaining unit. In the unlikely event of a liner being damaged repairs can even be performed underwater.
The heart and lungs of every swimming pool is the filtration system and the flow control. The standard turnaround for the water contained in a domestic swimming pool is 4 hours and the pumps, filters and filtration lines must cope with this requirement. Each pool size is fitted out with the correct plant equipment to guarantee perfect water clarity and sanitisation.
Indoor Pools

We offer the complete 'turnkey solution', through various stages: Initial site survey • Full 'in house' drawing/plans service • Full design service • Full planning application service • Complete construction program service • Full after sales program

When designing and constructing an indoor pool the most important factor of the pool is the Environmental Control System, James White consider this the 'heart & lungs' of the pool.
