What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from pool owners across London and surrounding areas who trust us with their pool care

★★★★★

Our pool had persistent algae issues that three other companies couldn't solve. DwellingBasics identified the circulation problem within the first visit, replaced the faulty pump, and rebalanced the chemistry. Water has been crystal clear for six months now. Their technician explained everything in detail and provided a maintenance schedule that actually works.

★★★★☆
Weekly Maintenance

Good overall service and the pool stays clean. The technician is knowledgeable and friendly. Only minor issue is they sometimes reschedule visits with short notice, but they always make up for it within a day or two. Fair pricing for the quality of work.

★★★★★
Filter Replacement

We needed a complete filter system upgrade before summer. The quote was transparent with no hidden costs. Installation took exactly the time they promised. The new system reduced our electricity consumption by 30% according to our meter readings. They also trained our housekeeper on basic maintenance tasks, which was incredibly helpful.

Professional team. Fixed our heating system in one visit and the price was exactly what they quoted. Highly recommend.

MP
Michael Peters
Hampstead
★★★☆☆

The service is decent and they know what they're doing. Pool maintenance is done properly. However, I found their pricing slightly higher than competitors in the area. Communication could be better - sometimes takes a day to get responses to emails. That said, the actual work quality is solid and they've never missed a scheduled visit.

★★★★★
Emergency Repair

Called them on Saturday morning when our pool pump failed completely. They had someone here within three hours, diagnosed the motor failure, and installed a replacement by Monday. Saved our daughter's birthday pool party. The technician even stayed late to ensure everything was running perfectly. Worth every penny.

★★★★★
Seasonal Opening

We've used DwellingBasics for spring openings and winter closings for three years. They handle everything from removing the cover to balancing chemicals and checking all equipment. Last spring they spotted a small leak in the liner that would have become a major problem. Their preventive approach has saved us thousands in potential repairs. The team is punctual, respectful of our property, and genuinely cares about doing the job right.

GS
George Sullivan
Wandsworth, London
★★★★★

Switched to them after poor experience with previous company. The difference is remarkable - they actually test the water properly, clean the skimmers thoroughly, and check all equipment during each visit. Our pool has never looked better and we're using fewer chemicals than before.

★★★★★
Chemical Balancing

Had constant pH problems that made the water irritating to eyes and skin. Their technician spent time explaining the relationship between alkalinity, pH, and calcium hardness. They adjusted our dosing system and now the water stays balanced for weeks. My children can finally enjoy swimming without red eyes. The educational approach really helped me understand what was happening.

NP
Natalie Parker
Fulham, London
★★★☆☆

The technical work is fine and they clearly know pools well. Met my expectations for maintenance quality. Pricing is reasonable for London. One thing to note - their busiest period is summer, so booking can take a few days longer than advertised. If you plan ahead, no issues.

★★★★★

★★★★★
Tile Cleaning

The calcium buildup on our pool tiles was embarrassing. DwellingBasics used a specialized treatment that removed years of deposits without damaging the tile surface. They also sealed the grout to prevent future staining. The pool looks like it did when first installed fifteen years ago. Excellent craftsmanship and fair pricing for the results achieved.
