From the first enquiry about a pool in the garden to the day the plant room is handed over, one record carries the whole installation.
Online booking
The enquiry takes an hour off your real diary, and the address is checked against the ground you install on before it is accepted.

Excavation, structure, plant room, surround and handover sit on one job, so a fortnight of rain shows you what it has actually moved.
Learn morePool installers sell work that starts next season, and a page with nothing free on it reads rather like a business that has closed.
With no slots left the page takes a request rather than closing, and it lands with the address and the photographs on it.
Most people will wait for the right installer. They would simply like to know how long the wait is.
A survey is an hour rather than a season, so the one thing that can happen this month remains bookable.
We want a pool along the back fence but the side access is tight. Photos attached.
The same excavation as a plain liner pool, as the same pool with a heat pump and cover, or as the whole scheme with the surround in.
Wall runs, coping and surround each go on as a line with a quantity and a rate, so the total moves when the pool size does.
The quote reference is fixed the moment it is issued, so your copy and the copy on their kitchen table are the same document.
Concrete and steel will not hold their price while a family deliberates. A dated quote expires and is re-priced rather than accepted in March.
Options on a single estimate come with Pro, which spares the client three documents and a spreadsheet. They accept one by typing their name, and that exact scope becomes the installation.
A pool quote goes out and then nothing happens for a month while a family talks to a brother-in-law. You can at least see which ones are being opened, and the one that comes back accepted turns itself into the build.
The quote stamps the moment they open it, so a follow-up call is aimed at somebody who was looking rather than at everybody.
They accept online with no account and no app, and the typed name, the time and the device are kept against the document.
The accepted rung converts into a booking carrying its own lines, so nobody re-types a contract worth more than a car.
A pool is a digger, a lorry of steel and a concrete pump behind a house. Set out the ground you cover, and anything past it asks first.
The build itself is next season, but the assessment is not. It sits on your page as its own bookable hour, at whatever it is worth to you, so the conversation starts while they are still interested.
What the shell was, what the interior was, who did the barrier and what got paid all stay on the property, so the resurface call does not start from memory.
Nothing about a pool happens out of order. The dig, the shell, the plumbing, the barrier and the handover each sit on the one job with their own dates, so you can answer where a build is up to without opening five things.
Built for pool work
The full job priced off wall runs, coping and surround, then run as stages so the client can see where the garden has got to.
A shorter install with a crane day in the middle. Hold the excavation, the crane and the pipework as their own dates on one job.
Longer, consented and shared with other trades. The build holds the dates you own and the dates you are waiting on somebody for.
Pumps, filtration and dosing quoted as their own lines, whether they go in with the pool or replace a plant room ten years old.
A drain-down, a reline and a refill quoted by area, booked into a fortnight the pool can be out of use, with the dates told up front.
Whatever the client and their insurer settle on carries its own date and sign-off, so nothing is filled with that stage still open.
Sold as options on the pool quote or on their own a season later, each carrying its own price change rather than a second document.
The part the client actually walks on, priced by area and held until after the interior so nobody walks across a wet finish.
Break-out, fill and compaction quoted as one job with the engineer’s date in the middle, and the garden handed back with a record.
Rain, an inspection, a groundworker a week out. The chain moves together, and moving it is a drag rather than an evening of re-typing.
The address, the pool size and the notes stay attached to the job. Only the dates move.
Whoever was booked on those days sees the new ones, without a round of messages going out at half six.
Moving work around the calendar was never the part anybody pays for.
Their garden has been a hole for two months and the only thing they want is a date. Every build keeps its own thread, filed on the job, so the answer is not somewhere in a phone.
The owner, the job and the messages are the same record, so whoever picks it up is reading the same history you are.
Team messages sit in the same list under their own filter, so the tiler asking about the waterline is not in the family thread.
Every status message ships switched off. You turn on the moments you actually want the owner to receive, and no others.
Nobody settles a pool in one payment. Pro splits a signed job into stages with their own dates and their own links, once the job is real.
Most stage payments still arrive by bank transfer. Recording one and letting the receipt see itself out costs nothing.
For the client who would rather tap for the final stage than go looking for their account details on handover day.
The stages are set on the job after it exists, each with a date and its own link. Nothing is taken at an online checkout.

There is no pool-specific installer licence. What tends to matter instead is consent: an open-air garden pool is normally permitted development and normally outside building control, while an indoor or enclosed pool needs Building Regulations consent, and a listed building or a conservation area needs consent either way. SPATA publishes the trade standards the industry works to. Bookables holds the job record; it holds no approvals.
They can. They take an hour from your live availability and the address is checked against your coverage before the booking is accepted. Anything outside the ground you cover arrives as an enquiry to answer, rather than a survey already sitting in your week.
Options on an estimate are a Pro feature. The liner pool, the same pool with a heat pump and cover, and the full scheme with the surround and plant room sit as named options on one document. The client accepts one by typing their name, and that scope becomes the installation.
As a stage of the job, with its own dates and its own record. There is no national fencing law for a private garden pool, so what goes in tends to come from the client, their insurer or their local authority. Bookables records what was fitted and when; it does not tell you what the requirement is.
Nobody settles a pool in one payment. On Pro a signed installation splits into stages, each with a due date and its own pay link, set on the job once it exists rather than at a checkout. Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand are free on any plan; cards are the part that comes with Pro.
The same rails. A reline, a waterline retile or a plant room upgrade is quoted with options, booked into a fortnight the pool can be drained, and stepped through the same way. Both kinds of work sit in one list, so refurbishment fills the winter.
