Thanks

John Kerkhoff 626 826 149 is the only one I can personally recommend as I haven't seen the others' work.
You could also go & see Pete at the ferreteria El Matorral... I think he may be able to help you. Sorry haven't got his number but I'm sure someone on here will have it! Annette.

I will not recommand either of the two mentioned. With reason!
As I already wrote: call Roland. He knows them all, has worked with them, knows their strong and weak points, etc

Certainly wouldn't recommend one of them. Again as with sperick.with good reason

emmi · August 09, 2016, 12:18:17 PM

Ah yes. The one who says "I'll be back tomorrow"....and never seen again!

Ivemovedon · August 09, 2016, 12:29:21 PM

emmi my problem was he did come back.

emmi · August 09, 2016, 13:26:15 PM

LOL! I must be the lucky one then - I escaped!

All these 'With reason' comments... What reason?... Which installer are you talking about? Wizard Pools, John Kerkhoff, PYE Construction? If they're not good at what they do please share with the rest of us so that we can avoid them (with good reason) 🤔 As I have mentioned, John Kerkhoff cleans my pool on a weekly basis so I would rather know if there is a problem with using him as I am well pleased so far... And who is Rowland the gardener? Why should anyone who wants a pool installed be calling him? Does he advertise at all? Not wishing to be negative or disrespective at all but it looks like another request for information has been 'hijacked'!

Woodside i would never directly name a service provider on here unless it was to recommend them. I would also not divulge what work they did or failed to do for me. Reason is it could be a one off and i wouldn't want to destroy a reputation on the strength of that. Suffice to say one of the guys mentioned did some work for me which i wasn't too happy with. Looking at other comments though if they refer to the same it would appear its more than a one off. One thing i will say is there's more than one person/ business on the island who maintain they are pool 'experts' and are no such thing. I'm not hijacking anything ,just responding as best i could.

woodside · August 09, 2016, 21:30:59 PM

Point taken. I'll stick with John and just hope he's the good guy! Seems the case anyway.

I waited over two years for problems to be solved, not even a phone call to apologise, Soooooo turned to Triqui Services, totally professional AND fully guaranteed, now can enjoy my pool at long last. Thanks Triqui Services

Andy Knapman did ours years ago at our house in Villaverde and we never had one single problem. Dealt with all permissions too.

Hi Erick tonny
We don't want anything too big , just like a plunge pool , below ground , as we have an above ground at the moment , which was insitu when we purchased property in May .
Would he install a pool similar to one at Cadena88 , 500x300
Serie figji acero lacado blanco 1.099â,¬
Or does he have his own stock ?
Builder said he would fit , but having 2nd thoughts , Re problems .
We're having the garden completely retired ,
Any other suggestions/recommendations or thoughts are welcome.
We're both new to this, but trying to avoid learning the hard way

Thanks again

erik_tonny · August 12, 2016, 17:52:09 PM

Caza,
Call Roland, 696826654
He does great gardens and has the best "grass" on the island.
He works a lot with Andy so the two know each other well.
Good luck and enjoy the results in good health

Thank you

Once you have your pool, then I would recommend Cristal Pools based in the north of the island to keep it clean. A very good reliable company.

Tel 625 381 975 or 606 260 938
