Complex pools on large properties

On Bishopscourt's large properties you find long lap pools, infinity edges with balance tanks, heated pools and separate pump houses. Renovating these is a step up from a standard re-marbelite. The overflow edge has to be level, the balance tank and its plumbing need checking, and heating systems need matching to the new set-up.

Our Bishopscourt pool page describes the local conditions.

Access, security and working hours

Many pools sit well back from the road, behind established gardens. Bringing materials in and rubble out takes planning, and sometimes hand-carrying to avoid damage. Security procedures affect who can be on site and when. Agree the access route, ground protection, working hours and security arrangements with the contractor before work starts, and make sure they are in the written quote.

Weather and timing

Bishopscourt is on the wet side of the mountain, near Kirstenbosch. Heavy winter rain raises groundwater and slows curing, so draining and resurfacing are usually scheduled for drier months. A large or complex renovation can take longer than a standard one, so start the conversation early if you want the pool ready for summer.
