Pool inspection with a written report
We visit your pool, inspect it closely and send you a written report with photos and our recommendations in order of priority. The report is yours to use with any contractor.

When an inspection is useful
An inspection gives you a clear picture of a pool's condition before you make a decision. Owners, buyers, villa managers and hotels ask for one at different moments.
- Before buying a villa, so you know what you are taking on
- Before the high season, so repairs can be planned around guests
- After a flood, when water may have reached the pump room or damaged the surrounds
- Before a renovation, so the scope is based on what is actually there
What we inspect
We look at the pool itself and at the plant that keeps it running.
- Tiles and grout joints, including loose, hollow, cracked or missing sections
- Coping stones, for movement, cracks and open joints
- The interior finish, whether tiles or PebbleCrete, for staining, roughness and wear
- Steps and entries, for damaged edges and worn surfaces
- Signs that may point to a leak, such as damp ground, cracks or staining around the shell and pipework
- Pumps, filters, valves, lights and the condition of the pump room itself
The written report
After the visit you receive a written report with photos. It shows what is in good order, what needs attention and what we recommend, in order of priority. Urgent items come first, followed by work that can be planned.
Where a sign of a leak needs further investigation, we say so in the report rather than guess at the cause.
Your report, your decision
The report belongs to you. You can use it to compare quotes, plan a renovation, negotiate a purchase or brief any contractor you choose. If you would like us to carry out some of the work, we quote it separately. The report does not commit you to any further work with us.
What to send for a first discussion
Send us a few details so we can arrange the visit.
- Photos of the pool, the waterline and the pump room
- The property location in Phuket or southern Thailand
- The reason for the inspection, such as a purchase, the coming season, a flood or a planned renovation
- Anything you have already noticed, such as water loss, loose tiles or equipment faults
Questions we are asked
Can you inspect a villa I am thinking of buying?
Yes. Many buyers ask for an inspection before they commit. The report gives you a written record of the pool's condition to use in your discussions.
Do you need the pool drained?
Whether the pool needs draining depends on inspection. If something below the water needs a closer look, the report says so and explains the options.
Will you find the cause of a leak?
We record any signs of a leak and where they appear. If the cause needs further investigation, the report recommends the next step.
Can I give the report to another contractor?
Yes. The report is yours to use with any contractor you choose.
