Rendering and screeding a pool for success
In this video of the garden room we are finishing the inside of the pool. building a pool is a job that needs special planning and consideration to make sure that you have no problems in the future.
I am using the Ardex System that is a reliable series of bagged renders, screeds, adhesives and tanking coatings
ARDEX heritage dates back more than 60 years and, as a global manufacturer of high-performance building materials, ARDEX has remained at the forefront of the UK professional tiling and flooring industries. With an extensive range for swimming pools, their products are designed to work together as systems that not only fast-track installation times, but that also produce long-lasting, durable finishes. As a result, ARDEX has been specified on many prestigious projects, including the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympic Games as well as the Tollcross International Swimming Centre in Edinburgh for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Awesome to watch proper professionals who know what they’re talking about, do their job. Absolutely flawless job. Another great video Robin
One of the weirdest jobs I have ever done was in a swimming pool. Some of the mosaics had come loose over the years so there I was in my snorkel with some sealant/adhesive that worked underwater sticking the tiles back down 🤣
Pools are a dream of mine. Just waiting on that lottery ticket coming in 😂
Anyway I’d have complete confidence in Robin doing work on my house. Wish more tradesmen took that kind of pride in their work 👍🏻
Thank you for your kind words!!
This is another great addition to the channel. You are publishing so many new projects ... super interesting and thorough discussions. Hope ya all are having a good week going ... thanks again Robin and cheers to your filming and editor team.
Thanks Thor for watching and supporting us with your kind encouragement and words
@@ukconstruction Been following since that other youtube channel ... with u and Roger. And the discussions u gents would have. I'm in all the way and work in the cold cold cold upper midwest .... need some RC merch hoodies
It’s my favorite TV … I just remodel here in the states and my 8 year old loves to watch these together and he asks a ton of questions … it’s a delight you explain soooo much
Awesome video Robin, its been a pleasure to been working with you on this indoor pool project so far. Looking forward to our second phase of glass mosaic tiling for pool shell and the large format tiling feature walls. So get the tiles in and we are ready for action. Tiletech Solutions UK Ltd collaborating together with Panoramic Pools Ltd.
I've got a pool coming up in a project and I'm furiously researching it - so great timing with this video.
Thats great Martin, maybe talk to Ardex
I worked on an 16th century Manor House. The restoration took over 2 years. A sub contractor built a huge swimming pool. With beautiful marble tiles around the edge. It was supposed to an interior pool, but the roof would block the view from the main bedroom. So now it’s an exterior pool.
That guys accent is hilarious, can't decide if it's, Yorkshire, London, or Polish or something. Quality
Seriously “interesting” accent I’m so confused by it haha.
You know there's two different guys right??
The guy who was the head of the team putting the render on sounds Greek to me?
Not Yorkshire
@@barryford7135 yes I’d say Greek. Then again I thought my neighbour was Italian for years. Turns out he’s Spanish.
Fantastic video Robin. Love it. Yes, the tiling above & around the pool will be interesting too & offer ideas for bathroom builds ❤👏👏
Further info on the the fittings, heating system, cleaning system, plumbing /drainage, regular maintenance, humidity control etc will be very useful too
Bloody hell Rob, you must be absolutely minted. Well done.
One of the most important things to know about swimming pools is that they are like a wishing well. You keep throwing money in them. Every man and his dog has some kind of pool in Qld. I live in rural Qld. Cattle country. But even out here my neighbour has an in ground pool. Just spent thousands on it because it sprung a leak. Even when running good. You have to clean them. Filter them. Monitor the pH. At least in the UK they won't fill up with Cane toads and Snakes. Which is a problem here. Running all the pumps is expensive. General up keep. Expensive. If you hire a pool man. Expensive. The novelty soon wares off and the things sit there as an expensive white elephant. Until it is 40C and someone ventures back in. Dirty great money pit.
For a year round pool, I have a 2000Lt stainless rainwater tank I've put a flexible stainless steel duct that winds 4 coils in the tank with inlet and outlet, I've filled that tank with dry sand over 3 tonne. Outside the tank the duct work goes through a commercial 8kw ducted resistance heater and bypass air/water heat exchanger with a radial blower on the main duct powered by my solar panels. In the future the same sand battery will heat my hot water storage tank for hydronic house heating. This is all insulated and all sits in my plant room today the sand is at 435°c cost $4k to build. I got the idea from the Finish sand battery company the heats their towns district heating system the same way.
The romans used clay, a natural product that lasted for generations.
I'd be interested in seeing how all the plumbing works for a pool.
No Problem will film that too!!
Looking forward to seeing that one.
Would be interesting to see the electrics for this.
One of the hardest things to get correct is earthing and bonding in a pool environment
Looks Great Robin !!!
I’ve used a lot of ardex over the years a45 a46 is brilliant for floor repairs great firm
Fascinating stuff. Bring on the plant room. All the best Robin.
We once made one out of massive concrete L-shapes that farmers use for silage. Quickest build ever. Most difficult job was connecting them on the back side and cut in the hole for the filter. Then fill in around them, glue on the insulation, let someone come over and glue in the pool foil and put the utilities in and off you go, just need to tile the edge.
Fantastic stuff Robin you have blown my my mind once again 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Always a pleasure to watch skilled craftsmen, they make it look so easy! So sensible to have an indoor pool, outdoor pools even in hot countries are constant work and constant expense! This should be really fab when it’s finished, looking forward to the end result! 👏😀👍
Thank you very much!
One of the very first jobs I did as learner/improver plasterer back in 1968 was a large pool in that big old house opposite 'Ascot Racecourse' entrance .... It wasn't square though ... It was all wavey ... More like a Pond .... Talk about being 'Thrown In At The Deep-End' 😂😂
Love it 👌🏻, cart wait to see it finished, something I hopefully will be putting in my garden one day with my steam train 🫶🏻
'Garden room' turning into a small palace :)
Very interesting Robin. Great content
Very well done locking in a guarantee of no problems down the line on video 😅
Looking great Robin. Thanks for sharing. Would also like detailed video of the pump and filter set up. See how it compares to European pools
You got it
Great video!...very helpful, as I’m embarking on what I gather to be the greatest DIY challenge of my life!...I’m building my own natatorium 😬....I was curious about what possible sheet materials would make for a good ceiling?...I know controlling humidity will be one of my greatest challenges, so something like wood planking, or drywall seem like a poor choice, do you recommend anything in the way of sheets or planks?
Robin getting pool envy at 8:14
Did they leave the timber levelling profiles in the render? Or, did they remove and then patch render the holes they left?
Great video! Despite watching numerous times I can't catch the name of the product used around the pipes. If you could clarify please Robin ? Cheers
S7 is a waterproof concrete based mix? Dang
Love the video. Excellent marriage of products and expertise.
I’m in the early stages of researching the installation of an outdoor pool. I will certainly be looking into the Artex range of products.
Can you please share details of Miri’s company as I would very much like to discuss my project with him.
Cheers Wayne
Very interesting - shows why they tend to be a luxury option! I have a couple immediate concerns - having had to manage a pool in the past - is how is the homeowner going to be cleaning the windows & walls? 2, I would feel very uncomfortable not having access to all sides of the pool edge when in the pool, so far as being able to get out (It's open at the mo, but once those walls go in I'd find it awfully claustrophobic!) 3, I'm surprised you don't need access around the edges - not being able to easily clean the pool from all sides would concern me, as well as needing to get out in case of an emergency!
Very pleased to see how thoroughly you go into the details of any build. My go-to for PROPER construction used to be This Old House, ever since I saw the 1st episode in 1980, I love those guys. But I've been looking for a more British-focused resource, especially as we are in the design-phase of our own renovation here in Tasmania. Really thrilled to be watching your Big Build from the beginning & my husband is as rivetted as me - as he knows nothing about construction so your videos are the perfect introduction for him from the 'ground up', basically, and as I am at least as fussy as you, Robin, am thrilled you show how it should be done and WHY! Also, how important keeping a clean job site is to successful outcomes & ease of build. I get so mad when I see 'builders' smashing out glass with impunity & tripping over rubble when wielding a Sawzall - how can you be sure you ever get that area safe again? I'm forever picking up broken glass from the garden & paddocks, where there have been sheep, horses, chickens, dogs & kids... Anyway, you a Treasure and I don't know why I never found you earlier (a UA-cam anomaly)!! Many thanks - gives us a ton of confidence!
Thank you for your comment, I hear your concerns about the pool access, it is very common with modern pols to be shallow like this one and only have access to 1 or 2 sides, it all about making sure that people use the pool safely!! after all you can drown in a bath tub too if you are really unlucky!! so glad that you are enjoying my content down there in Tasmania!! many thanks for watching!!
@@ukconstruction Thank you! Glad I don't have to worry about cleaning the windows & tile! You do a fantastic job - your clients are super-blessed!
@Nicky L Maybe - I guess all will be revealed... The tiles are still going to be a challenge.
Looking forward to the tiling stage. When will the tiling start?
In a few weeks time, I will film it too for you
Looks cool, is there a swim jet or endless pool system going in too?
If I can afford it then I am planning on using a swim jet
Question for you Robin - if you were just starting out today, buying your first drill/circular saw etc, what brand would you invest in? You seem to use Hikoki and Metabo lately, would you go with one of these?
As much pool content as you can manage please robin 😅 would love to do one myself (with help) but the info available online for uk pools is minimal
Ok Jamie will do!!
Hi Robin, Yet another great video. I have always wondered how a pool is waterproofed. I love the attention to detail. Wondering if you would be going to the Build It Live Exhibition this weekend ?.... Would be great to say Hello ?
Hi Richard, Its my birthday at the weekend so I am having a building break!!!! maybe next time!!
@@ukconstruction Well Enjoy ! I am not far behind you, turn 46 on the 7th of Feb 😒
Michael Barrymore would love that pool
So would Brian Jones
Just waiting for the Premium Bond results tomorrow, then I be asking you to build me one.
Very interesting video.
I was wondering is this your own pool Robin?
Yes Dave
Whens the pool party?
look out for the invite!!!!
Does the Ardex s7plus go on the floor as well , on top of the levelling compound ?
Yes Tom
Nice pool ,but defo not for me been there and done that the novelty soon weres off ....would sooner spend the money sitting on the beach with sun on my back. 😂👍
Hi Robin - quick question what's that board called that looks like MDF yet its totally water proof - its over £100 a sheet - I cannot remember what its called - cheers
Tricoya
As Pete mentioned there is a completely waterproof version of MDF called Tricoya, we are using a Board on our pool walls called H20 Powerpanel from Fermacel, it is also fully waterproof but you can tile on it as it is cement based
Tricoya is unreal expensive
Do you insulate the pool floor and walls? Seems like a larger heat sink.
Hi Ed, we have 200mm of insulation under and around the pool shell so it will act like a large thermal store
