Beautifully built, strong and adaptable — the block & render method remains one of the most trusted pool construction techniques in the UK.

At Hydro-Leisure Plus, we design and build block & render pools that combine lasting durability with complete design freedom. Every project is tailored to your space, style and budget, ensuring your new pool looks stunning and performs flawlessly for years to come.

Block and Render Swimming Pool Construction

1. Ground Preparation

We begin with a full site survey to assess soil conditions, access, and drainage. The ground is carefully excavated and levelled to create a stable foundation — the key to long-term strength and performance.

2. Concrete Foundation

A reinforced concrete base is poured to provide complete stability and prevent movement or cracking over time. This foundation ensures your pool remains level and structurally sound.

3. Building the Walls

Concrete blocks form the pool’s walls, laid in an overlapping pattern for strength and precision. Steel rebar is added for reinforcement, giving the pool excellent load-bearing capacity.

4. Rendering & Waterproofing

Our experienced team applies a smooth sand-and-cement render to create a seamless internal surface. We then use advanced waterproofing membranes or coatings to achieve a watertight finish and protect against leaks.

5. Finishing Touches

Choose from high-quality tiles, liners, or decorative plaster to complete your pool’s interior. We can also assist with landscaping, paving, and fittings to create a fully finished outdoor space.
