Design your pool exactly how you want.
Planning a swimming pool in Dorset? Pool Design & Build helps you explore bespoke pool design, installation and refurbishment, from the first site discussion to commissioning and ongoing care. Tell us about your property, swimming plans and preferred timescale.
Your pool should reflect how you want to use it: a garden space for family swimming, a place for regular exercise or an indoor pool for a longer swimming season. Pool Design & Build helps Dorset homeowners compare the design, construction and equipment choices that shape a successful installation.
We welcome enquiries from Dorchester, Weymouth, Bridport, Sherborne, Blandford Forum and Shaftesbury, and from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Our head office is in Mark, Somerset, rather than Dorset. Contact us with your postcode and a short description of your plans so we can discuss the location, project scope and arrangements for a site assessment.

An outdoor swimming pool can form the centre of a carefully planned garden. Positioning, privacy, pool access, paving and the relationship with the house all deserve attention. We discuss covers, heating and the intended swimming season alongside the design, helping you understand the practical choices before building begins.

An indoor installation brings the pool and its building environment together, including space for equipment and appropriate environmental systems. For a property with suitable levels and views, an infinity edge may be worth exploring. The right choice depends on the site and specification, as well as the appearance you want.
Explore indoor pool installations or view infinity pool designs.
A sheltered courtyard, an exposed coastal garden and a rural plot can present very different design decisions. Rather than assuming one pool specification suits every Dorset property, we start with the site and the way you intend to use it.
Any further investigations, permissions or specialist input required for your particular property should be identified during planning. We discuss the project requirements before agreeing the construction scope.

A pool quotation should make the scope clear. Size and pool type matter, but access, excavation, spoil removal, equipment, service connections and surrounding works can also affect the overall cost. For an indoor project, the building and environmental systems need to be considered alongside the pool.
Send your postcode, photographs and outline requirements to begin the discussion. Include whether you want landscaping, a cover, heating or swimming equipment, and explain any restrictions you already know about. This helps the team identify what needs assessing and prepare a proposal around your property rather than an assumed standard installation.
If you have an existing pool, start by explaining what you want to improve. Worn finishes, ageing equipment or a change in how you use the pool may call for a targeted refurbishment rather than a completely new installation. The existing structure and systems need assessing before a suitable scope can be recommended.
For a new or existing pool, discuss heating and covers together with circulation, filtration and operating schedules. A heat pump, variable-speed pump or automated monitoring system must be suitable for the installation. Running costs and maintenance needs depend on the complete pool system and how it is used.
We also welcome enquiries about ongoing maintenance, seasonal shutdowns and reopening support. Provide your Dorset location and pool details so we can discuss the work required and service arrangements.

Our Starline Nova 100 installation case study gives you a closer look at a completed project, from groundworks to the finished pool and landscaping. It is presented as a South West project, rather than a Dorset installation.
The specification included a BINDER Hydrostar 550 counter-current system, an all-year heat pump, an OCEA InverHero pump and POOLCOP Evolution management. The project was completed in under eight weeks, including additional landscaping. That programme relates to this installation; a Dorset project would have its own agreed scope and timescale.

Yes, we welcome Dorset enquiries. Our head office is in Mark, Somerset. Send your postcode, photographs and a brief outline of the project so we can discuss your requirements and arrangements for assessing the site.
A coastal location needs a site-specific assessment. Exposure, access, levels, equipment positioning and the intended swimming season can influence the design. Contact us with photographs and the property location to discuss what should be considered.
We design and install indoor and outdoor pools. An indoor project requires the pool, building space and environmental systems to be considered together. We can discuss the options for your property and explain the information needed to develop a specification.
The cost depends on the design, pool type, access, groundworks, equipment and surrounding works. Send your postcode, approximate dimensions and preferred features for an initial discussion. A useful proposal needs an agreed scope and an understanding of the site.
Contact us with your location, pool photographs and details of the work or ongoing care you need. We can discuss the existing installation, what requires assessment and suitable service arrangements before agreeing the next step.
Bring us your ideas, whether you are planning a new garden pool, exploring an indoor installation or improving an existing pool. Pool Design & Build can help you understand the choices and work towards a clear, practical project brief.
