How to judge a swimming pool / hot tub
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each trader’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Check they are a current SPATA member (pools) or BISHTA member (hot tubs/spas): search the public directories at spata.co.uk and bishta.co.uk.
- Confirm their electrician is NICEIC or NAPIT registered: pool electrics are notifiable under Part P and must be signed off by a registered competent person.
- Ask for Houzz or Checkatrade project photos of completed pools or hot tubs they have actually built, not just stock images.
- Look up the company on Companies House to check how long they have been trading: a new company taking a large deposit is a real financial risk.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- They cannot show current SPATA or BISHTA membership: there is no statutory register, so trade-body membership is the only independent vetting that exists.
- They ask for a large deposit (30–50%+) upfront with no written contract, no staged payment schedule, and no mention of deposit protection.
- They are vague about planning permission: a competent installer will tell you whether your project needs consent; an evasive answer is a warning sign.
- They push you to sign quickly or claim a limited-time price: this is a considered, high-value project and pressure tactics are a cowboy hallmark.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you a current SPATA or BISHTA member, and can I verify that on your trade body's website today?
- Will the electrical work be carried out or certified by a NICEIC or NAPIT registered electrician, and will I receive a Part P completion certificate?
- Does my project need planning permission, and have you handled installs in conservation areas or on listed buildings before?
- What is your payment schedule, and how is my deposit protected if your company runs into difficulties before the work is finished?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy swimming pool / hot tub?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A swimming pool / hot tub backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend swimming pools / hot tubs for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Swimming pools / hot tubs are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a swimming pool / hot tub?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the swimming pool / hot tub, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
