As the days get longer and temperatures start to rise, many homeowners in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, and Northamptonshire are dreaming of enjoying their own swimming pool this summer. Whether you’re considering a brand-new pool or upgrading an existing one, spring is the perfect time to get started. Here’s why:
1. Get Ahead of the Summer Rush
Pool builders and contractors get booked up quickly as summer approaches. Planning your pool or upgrade in early spring ensures you secure a slot before peak demand hits. This allows for a smoother process without delays.
2. Perfect Timing for Outdoor Pools
Starting construction in spring means your pool will be ready just in time for the warmest months. Outdoor pools require time for excavation, installation, and landscaping, so an early start ensures you can enjoy your pool all summer long.
3. Ideal Season for Pool Upgrades
If you already own a pool, now is the time to schedule maintenance or refurbishments. Common upgrades include:
- Resurfacing or retiling to refresh the look of your pool.
- Installing energy-efficient heating systems to extend the swimming season.
- Upgrading to automated pool technology for easier maintenance.
- Adding new lighting and water features to enhance aesthetics.
- Replacing pool liners to improve durability and refresh the pool’s appearance.
- Re-laying frost-blown copings and pool surround slabs if they have sunken or deteriorated over time.
- Upgrading the pool surround with fresh new Indian sandstone slabs, resin, or other modern materials to completely transform the look and feel of the area.
4. Better Weather Conditions for Installation
Spring offers mild temperatures and less rainfall compared to summer, making it an optimal season for construction. This can lead to faster completion times and fewer disruptions.
5. Health & Social Prestige Benefits
Owning a home pool isn’t just a luxury—it’s an investment in both health and lifestyle. Swimming is an excellent low-impact exercise that improves cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, and overall well-being. Additionally, having a private pool enhances social prestige, providing an elegant entertainment space for friends and family.
6. More Time to Personalise Your Pool
Building a pool involves multiple decisions, from design and materials to features like waterfalls and lighting. Planning in spring gives you ample time to explore options and create a pool that fits your lifestyle and budget.
