ON SITE · WEEKLY VISITWhat does a pool technician do?
A pool technician keeps a pool clean, safe and working. They skim, brush, vacuum, balance the water and check the filter and pump. Regular pool maintenance helps catch small faults early.
Every visit
What does a professional visit include?
- Skimming leaves and bugs off the top
- Brushing the walls and floor
- Emptying the skimmer basket
- Testing the water
- Adding chemicals if the water needs it
- Checking the pump and filter are working
Every visit ends with your pool safe to swim in. Not just clear to look at.

Our standard
How we select technicians
There’s no UK licence for pool cleaning, so we set our own bar. Before a technician gets any requests, we check:
Public liability insurance
At least £1 million of cover. We see the certificate and note when it runs out.
A business record or reviews
An active Companies House record, or at least 5 genuine reviews on Google or Checkatrade.
Checklist
Choosing the right pool cleaning service
Five questions to ask before you choose:
- 01Can I see your public liability insurance certificate?
- 02Are you a member of SPATA or BISHTA?
- 03What exactly is included in each visit?
- 04Can you give me references from local customers?
- 05Will you put the quote and terms in writing?
How much does a pool cleaner cost in the UK?
A standard pool visit costs about £60 to £100. A visit that includes cleaning costs about £100 to £200 (poolround.co.uk, 2026). Chemicals are often extra. These are published figures, not our prices.
How often should a pool cleaner come?
Weekly is common in summer for an outdoor pool in regular use. Fortnightly can suit a lightly used or covered pool. SPATA recommends a “little and often” routine. Your technician can suggest a schedule.
What should a pool cleaning quote include?
It should state how often visits happen and what each one covers. It should also say whether chemicals are included, list extra charges and set out the contract and cancellation terms. Get it in writing.
Can I get a free quote for pool cleaning?
Yes. It’s free, with no obligation to book. We pass your request to up to 2 vetted local technicians near you. You pay only the one you choose.
How much does a hot tub service cost?
A full annual hot tub service costs about £249 to £399 (Move Your Spa and other UK firms, checked 12 October 2026). These are not our prices.
Do you clean pools yourselves?
No. We’re a free matching service, not a pool cleaning company. Up to 2 vetted, insured local technicians quote you and do the work. You agree the price and timing with them. Questions? Contact us by WhatsApp on +44 7348 232538 or email at info@thepoolcleaning.co.uk.
