How to choose a pool and installation service
1 min read · Published October 2025 · By Ultimate Pools
Once you have decided between concrete and fibreglass you may want to start exploring the pool companies that specialise in the type of pool that you want.
It is a good idea to get a few quotes unless you are certain you know exactly which service you want to use. It is important to remember that not all quotes are equal. Look for a service that will analyse your site and the conditions before issuing a firm quote because the land determines the majority of cost variability, in general the steeper the site, the more costly the install.
Make sure that the quotes you receive are equivalent when you compare them, some services quote only the pool shell and labour/installation without including additional factors such as excavation, equipment or consent for example. Make sure you know exactly what is included in each quote before you start to weigh up the pros and cons. It is important that you opt for an experienced company as mistakes can be very costly and a poorly installed pool is likely to fail.
