Yorkshire showroom opens to showcase luxury swimming pools for indoors and outdoors

Nothing feels more indulgent than having your very own pool for a cooling plunge, morning exercise routine or a leisurely evening wind-down.

Your own aquatic oasis would be a dramatic focal point of your garden, providing years of fun for all the family.

Or you could enjoy an indoor pool in your home, a converted outbuilding or extension giving adding style, luxury and value to your property.

Sounds expensive? You might be surprised to learn you could be dipping your toe into your own pool for around the same price as a premium SUV.

Visit the showroom

A brand new showroom has opened in Harrogate where you can experience for yourself the luxury and quality of a unique brand of swimming pool, specially designed to be low-maintenance, environmentally friendly, and fast to install.

It’s backed by the expertise of a French company, which has been developing, designing and building pools around the world for over 50 years.

Desjoyaux Pools has a dealer network of seven showrooms in the UK, but the latest is the only one in the north, and will be bringing its unrivalled blend of luxury and lasting quality to Yorkshire and the North East.

James and Polly Metcalfe are the husband and wife team behind Yorkshire Swimming Pools and are ready to bring their passion and knowledge to the north of England.

The showroom boasts two outdoor display pools, which will give customers an idea of the build quality and operation – but there are a wealth of possibilities and innovative designs for both pool interiors and surrounds which, with James and Polly’s help, you will be able to turn your vision into a stunning reality.

“Here in Yorkshire people tend to have more space around their homes than places in the south,” he said. It’s an area he knows well. The Desjoyaux systems impressed him, with their meticulous design, high quality construction and careful consideration for resources and running costs.

And with its auto chlorine system, you don’t need to worry too much about the chemicals to keep the pool clean and clear.

“Maintenance is easy – you’ll need to check water quality a couple of times a week, but we also offer a maintenance plan so we can do that for you,” he said.

The Yorkshire company offer a full package of work from excavation to final finish making the project as smooth as possible.

He said ever since the pandemic there has been a shift to spending more time at home –whether you’re working from home or relaxing. A stunning pool makes all of that extra-special and can really give you that holiday at home vibe – and of course your kids and friends will love it too!

James and Polly own the business, but have the backing, support and expertise of a sister showroom in Surrey and Desjoyaux in France, so they have plenty of experience and backing to call on for even the most intricate design or challenging build project.

How it works

Desjoyaux pools have a patent design which makes them strong, long-lasting and easy to install. It can take as little as 15 days from initial excavation to diving in and enjoying your first dip because there is no need for a plant room or associated underground pipe work.

After excavation the pool structure and steps are put in place which are reinforced with concrete. A strong pool lining is used, rather than tiles, which makes for a long-lasting and low-maintenance pool you can enjoy for years – and all of this is guaranteed for 15 years. The linings come in a range of fantastic colours and designs – tiles, patterns, mosaics, slate and more.

With a Desjoyaux pool there is no need for a separate plant room, the filtration system is built into the pool structure which uses a patented system requiring no backwashing or excessive maintenance. This saves water, time and prevents the chance of chemicals going down the drain and into the environment.

Heating of the pool is taken care of with an easy to install air source heat pump allowing you to enjoy a warm dip without a giant electricity bill.

There is a range of automatic security covers to choose from, providing safety and heat retention when the pool is not in use.
