Free matching service · Not a cleaning company
How our free pool cleaning quote service works
The Pool Cleaning is a free matching service, not a pool cleaning company. We don’t send anyone round ourselves. Instead, you tell us about your pool or hot tub, and we pass your request to up to 2 vetted, insured local technicians who cover your area.
They contact you directly with a quote. If neither quote suits you, you don’t have to book anything.

Three steps
How it works in 3 steps
1
01Your part
Tell us about your pool or hot tub
Fill in our short form with your postcode, the service you need, whether it’s a pool or a hot tub, and roughly when you’d like the work done. Add a note about anything useful, such as a green pool or holiday-let changeovers.
2
02Our part
We pass your request to up to 2 local technicians
We match your postcode and the type of job to technicians in our network who cover your area and do that kind of work. Your request goes to a maximum of 2 of them, never a long list.
3
03Their part
They contact you with a quote, and you choose
Each technician contacts you directly to ask any questions and give you a quote. You agree the price and timing with them, and you’re free to turn down both quotes.
Who gets your request
Who receives your request
Your request only goes to technicians who cover your postcode and offer the service you’ve asked for, so a hot tub request won’t go to someone who only cleans pools.
We send each request to no more than 2 technicians, so you get a comparison without a flood of calls. We don’t sell your details, we don’t add you to marketing lists, and we never share your request with anyone beyond the technicians we match you with.
If we can’t find a suitable technician near you, we’ll tell you by email.
Your details go to no more than 2 technicians.
Only local technicians who cover your area and do the work you need, and only after you’ve ticked the consent box.
Our entry bar
How we vet technicians
There’s no single licence for pool or hot tub cleaning in the UK, so we set our own entry bar. Before a technician gets any requests from us, we check two things.
Checked before they join
Insurance plus business record or reviews
What we check
- Public liability insurance: at least £1 million of cover. We see the certificate and note when it runs out.
- Business record or reviews: an active Companies House record, or at least 5 genuine reviews on Google or Checkatrade.
When their insurance renews, we ask for the new certificate. If we receive complaints about a technician, we can remove them from our network.
What we don't do
- We don’t carry out DBS or criminal record checks.
- We don’t inspect or supervise technicians’ work.
- We don’t employ the technicians. They’re independent businesses.
- We can’t promise the quality, price or timing of any job.
Our checks are a starting point, not a replacement for your own. Before you book, ask to see their insurance and get a written quote.

The cost to you
Is it free?
Yes. Asking for quotes through The Pool Cleaning is free for homeowners, holiday-let owners and small businesses, and you’ll never pay us anything. Every quote is no-obligation. Hotels, schools, gyms and other venues can ask for commercial pool maintenance quotes the same way.
- Homeowners
- Holiday-let owners
- Small businesses

You can withdraw your consent, ask what we hold or ask us to delete your data at any time by sending us a message through our contact form or emailing info@thepoolcleaning.co.uk. Full details are in our privacy policy.

We only pass your details on once you’ve ticked it.

How many technicians will contact me?
Up to 2. We only pass your request to technicians who cover your postcode and offer the service you need. Sometimes only one will be available, and if we can’t find a match, we’ll tell you.
Are you a pool cleaning company?
No. We’re a free matching service. We don’t clean pools or hot tubs ourselves. We put you in touch with independent local technicians, and any booking is made directly between you and them.
How do you vet technicians?
Before a technician gets any requests, we check they have public liability insurance of at least £1 million. We also check for an active Companies House record, or at least 5 genuine reviews on Google or Checkatrade. We don’t carry out DBS or criminal record checks, so please make your own checks too.
What happens if I'm not happy with the work?
Your agreement is with the technician, so raise it with them first. They’re responsible for their work. Please also tell us through our contact form. We review complaints and can remove technicians from our network.
How much does pool cleaning cost?
It depends on your pool’s size, condition, location and how often you need visits, so the technician will quote for your pool. Our pool cleaning cost guide explains the main factors.
Can I get a one-off clean or regular visits?
Both. Choose “one-off” or “regular” on the form. One-off jobs include spring opening, a deep clean or a green pool recovery. Regular visits are usually weekly or fortnightly during the season.
Do you cover hot tubs and holiday lets?
Yes. You can request hot tub cleaning or servicing for a home hot tub, or regular servicing for a holiday-let hot tub. Choose “hot tub” on the form and add details such as changeover days.
What if I don’t hear back?
If a technician hasn’t been in touch, send us a message through our contact form and we’ll follow it up.
