We have inspected the pool and found it to be mostly empty and the deepend wall to have collapsed/torn. Client advised that they had their contractor carrying out repairs when a storm occurred which resulted in the wall having torn. The structural integrity has been compromised beyond possible repairs and a new pool will need to be installed. We have allowed for the replacement shell, new light, 1m paving and coping only, weir, aimflow jet and the new plumbing of the pool to be connected onto the existing filtration system. Access to the pool area has not been allowed for as this will need to be provided by the client (removal of surrounding wall etc.). Please note that the quote does not allow for possible ground water issues and the management of this, this can only be assessed properly once the pool has been removed.
