    Great company, great aftercare

    Posted 19 March

    I had a few initial teething problems with the stream and pond leaking a little, but each time I got in touch, Phil and his team were out promptly and the issues were resolved… even after I had made full payment. I am very happy with the product they installed and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking for an outdoor water feature.

    Quality workmanship, great people

    Posted 14 March

    Phil is very knowledgeable and confident and answers all questions. He is very reliable and responsive . We asked him to build a wildlife pond on a difficult sloping site in the garden and he and his team have done a brilliant job with no hassle and quality workmanship. I'm now looking forward to planting up the pond itself and the surrounding area over the next few weeks. Highly recommended.

    Turned up on time and they were straight to work. Kept the rest of garden tidy and did little extra jobs free of charge. Very polite lads.

    Phil the Pond Doctor ……A genuine pond specialist who done a good job at a fair price.

    Posted 12 December 2025

    Phil and his team have done an excellent job in just two days. Installing a 30 x 25 metre rubber liner which he supplied at a fair price. They also built me a 10 metre long rill/ waterfall within that time. I can’t fault the service. Phil the Pond knows his stuff and gives honest advice compared to those overpriced so called Swimming Pond specialists. I was quoted £160,000 for a pond by one of them! Phil has done it for a tenth of that price! Enough said!

ponds relined.

pond,design built and Contructed


We specialise in creating Fibreglass lined ponds, no creases, choice of colour, very hard wearing.


We are a Ltd Company and travel a 40-mile radius from home.


I started the business on a part time basis in 1993 I was working full time and selling fish evenings and weekends throughout the spring / summer months.


I've built up a good knowledge of ponds, fountains and Water features.


I specialise in the following:-


  • Pond Construction
  • Water Features
  • Water Gardens
  • Pond Maintenance/Cleaning
  • Free estimates

We as a company no longer sell fish but spend all our spare time travelling from town to town building, constructing and designing ponds / water features, also cleaning and maintaining ponds etc


The beauty of a pond is having crystal clear water, if this is not achieved, then what is the point in having a pond if you cannot see what’s in it!!!
