Planning an outdoor pool project?

Here are three key things to consider:

Location
Choose a sunny, sheltered and easily accessible position. The right location can transform your pool into the focal point of your outdoor space while enhancing property value.

Construction Method
The build technique matters. Gunite wet or dry sprayed concrete remains the preferred choice for creating high-quality, bespoke luxury swimming pools.

Finishes & Materials
From large-format porcelain tiles to elegant mosaics, the finishes you choose will define the overall look and feel of your pool, helping create anything from a sleek contemporary design to a timeless classic retreat.

Kyran Vermey shares expert insight on planning a luxury outdoor pool in series one of our pool build series processes.

Retirement Living Wellness Installation: RVG Botanical Place, West Byfleet

We look back at this development which included a bespoke hydrotherapy pool featuring massage jets, hydrotherapy stations and advanced water treatment systems, alongside a premium KLAFS Sanarium® thermal suite designed to support relaxation and wellbeing.

A great example of how thoughtful wellness design can enhance retirement living.

Next up: we're looking forward to the completion of another retirement village wellness project at RVG Paramount Place, due to open this month!

The big reveal is here. What a transformation. 💧✨

In the final chapter of our bespoke pool build series, we take a look beyond the finished waterscape to the technology, expertise and ongoing support that help keep it performing beautifully for years to come.

Designed as a seamless extension of the home, every detail has been carefully considered, from intelligent filtration and automation through to specialist maintenance and servicing, making ownership as effortless as it is enjoyable.

While the pool is now ready to be enjoyed, the wider setting will continue to evolve as planting establishes and the landscape matures, bringing the original vision fully to life. 🌿

How does a deck level swimming pool achieve its perfectly clean waterline?

Instead of using surface skimmers, water gently flows into a perimeter overflow channel before passing through a balance tank and back into the circulation system.

The result is enhanced surface cleaning and a sleek, contemporary appearance.

At Guncast, we offer a variety of overflow and grille solutions tailored to each project, including:

✓ Slot overflow systems
✓ Stone-filled channels
✓ Linear drainage details
✓ Stainless steel grilles
✓ Tiled overflow channels
✓ Hidden collection gullies

Every detail is carefully considered to deliver both performance and exceptional design.

It’s all in the finishes ✨

In Episode 4 of our Pool Build Series, we look at the tiling and finishing stage of a luxury swimming pool project, from how tile choice influences the colour of the water to the techniques used to achieve a precise, long-lasting finish.

For this pool, large-format porcelain creates clean lines and a smooth, refined look.

Next up... the plant room, then the big reveal.

Spa Refurbishment Timelines

How long does a spa refurbishment really take?
Whether you're upgrading an existing spa or developing a new wellness destination, every successful project starts with realistic planning.

As a guide (every project differs), here are some guidelines, depending on the scale of the project:

• Concept planning: 1–3 months
• Feasibility studies: 2–4 months
• Architectural design: 3–8 months
• Tender & contractor selection: 1–2 months
• Construction: 12–36 months
• Pre-opening & commissioning: 2–6 months

The earlier specialist consultants are involved, the smoother the project delivery, helping to reduce risk, avoid costly redesigns and keep programmes on track.

The British weather isn't always on our side... but that doesn't stop us.

To keep this luxury outdoor pool project moving, we install a full marquee over the shell, protecting materials, keeping everything dry and ensuring every stage is completed with total precision.

In this episode of our pool build series, Louis Burton walks through the rendering process:

🏗️ 10mm scratch coat
✨ 10mm finishing render
💧 Static water testing

With the shell accurately shaped, structurally sound and water-tight, we're now ready for the next exciting stage... tiling.

Stay tuned to see this stunning pool come to life.
