Guides & advice

Straight answers from the people who deliver, install and service these things for a living.

Delivery day: access, preparation and what actually happens

The measurements to take before you book, what to have ready on the day, and how a delivery goes from lorry to first soak.

The difference in plain English, what each needs installed, and how to decide before you book an electrician.

The honest answer, what drives the number up or down, and the three things that make the biggest difference to your bill.

They look similar in a brochure and behave very differently in a garden. Space, running costs, groundwork and what each is genuinely for.

Sanitiser, pH and alkalinity explained properly, a weekly routine that takes ten minutes, and the mistakes that cause almost every cloudy tub.

How they work in plain English, where the savings genuinely come from, and the honest limitations nobody mentions in the brochure.

What pre-loved actually means when we say it, where the differences really lie, and an honest view of who each one suits.

Concrete, slabs or decking — what actually works, why level matters more than people think, and what to have ready before delivery day.
