What an Oxshott pool has to carry.
- No basement SPD

- BS 8102 Grade 3

NU Projects is a design and build company in Fulham SW6, founded in 2010. We handle basement swimming pools in Oxshott KT22, under one contract. A basement runs £450 to £780 a sq ft, construction only. Call 020 7731 6841, and a budget estimate typically follows within seven days.
Large Oxshott plots usually hold a garden worth keeping. A pool under the house leaves the lawn, the trees and the view alone. It also gives you swimming in every month.
Elmbridge has no basement policy, so a pool hall is judged as an extension. In Zones 2 and 3a the Flood Risk SPD lets a pool be considered. Zone 3b allows no basement, and Zones 2 and 3a bar bedrooms. Inside the Green Belt, DM18 keeps the pool hall within the footprint.
The slab and walls are engineered for the weight of the water. A plant room holds filtration, heating and air handling. Dehumidifying the hall protects the house above it. Waterproofing follows BS 8102 Grade 3.
We have not yet built in Surrey. Our nearest pools are in Kensington W8 and Knightsbridge. One team designs, prices and builds the pool, the plant and the structure.
