What Our Customers Say

“From our first detailed conversation, it was clear William knew his stuff. He took great care of the fish during the process and left me with a sparkling clean pond, a new filter system, and a clear plan for ongoing care. I've already booked a follow-up. I couldn't be happier with the results.”

“Excellent service, advice, and fast work, all completed by William and his colleague. New pond all completed within two days. Super pleased with the wildlife beach area. Looking forward to the frogs moving back in. Highly recommended.”

“William turned up at the agreed time on a Sunday morning. He was fully equipped and left the waterfall working well and the area clean. He was approachable all the time and left me with a few hints. All in all he did an excellent job and I can thoroughly recommend him.”

Garden fountains quickly lose their appeal when neglected - algae coats the stone or resin, jets clog with limescale, pump impellers become blocked, and the water turns green and uninviting. Whether you need a thorough one-off deep clean or a regular maintenance schedule, we cover everything. A deep clean means draining the basin, scrubbing away all algae and biological growth, descaling jets and stonework, cleaning the pump impeller, and refilling with treated water. Ongoing maintenance builds on that with regular basin cleans, pump servicing, nozzle checks and water treatment to keep your fountain trouble-free all season. We service all fountain styles and sizes - self-contained patio features, Aquascape bubbling rocks, pond fountains and commercial installations - across Essex, Kent, Greater London and Hertfordshire.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when my fountain needs a professional clean?
The main signs are visible green or brown algae coating the basin or stone, reduced water flow from the jets, cloudy or discoloured water, or an unpleasant smell. If your fountain hasn't been cleaned in the last 3–6 months, a deep clean will make a noticeable difference.
How often should a fountain be maintained?
Most garden fountains benefit from a service every 6–10 weeks during the active season. In hard water areas (like Essex and Kent), limescale builds up more quickly and may require more frequent attention. Commercial fountains in public view often benefit from monthly visits.
Will cleaning damage the stone or finish on my fountain?
No - we always use cleaning products suited to the specific material. Natural stone, reconstructed stone, fibreglass, resin and stainless steel all require different treatment, and our team is experienced in cleaning each correctly without causing surface damage.
My fountain pump has stopped working - can you help?
In many cases, a fountain pump that has stopped working simply needs the impeller cleaned of debris or limescale - not replaced. We can assess the pump during a service visit and advise on repair or replacement depending on its age and condition.
Can fountain maintenance extend the life of my pump?
Significantly. Limescale and debris are the leading causes of premature pump failure. Regular impeller cleaning and periodic full pump service can easily double the working life of a typical fountain pump - a worthwhile saving compared to replacement costs.
Can you clean or maintain a fountain you did not install?
Absolutely. We service fountains regardless of who installed them - whether it was us, another contractor, or you fitted it yourself. As long as we can access the pump and basin, we can carry out a clean or maintenance visit.
Should I turn my fountain off in winter?
For most UK fountains, it is advisable to drain and store pumps during extended freezing periods to prevent frost damage. Stone features should be covered or the water drained to prevent cracking. We offer a winter shutdown and spring start-up service to handle this properly.
How much does fountain cleaning or maintenance cost?
A one-off deep clean starts from around £80–£150 for a standard self-contained feature, depending on size and level of build-up. Regular maintenance visits are typically £50–£100 per visit. We provide a clear, upfront price before starting any work.
