Testimonials

Dear Gary

I just wanted to write to you to say how happy I am with the electric roller you fitted for me in November. It works really well and the installation was exemplary and the cover does what it says on the tin. Altogether I am a very satisfied customer.

“PCS pools sorted out a long-standing and stressful cover problem for us. Gary gave us an honest assessment, answered questions promptly and solved the issue very efficiently. We have struggled to find reliable pool companies, so it was a relief to be recommended somebody who does what they say they are going to do and I would not hesitate to pass on this endorsement.”

“We had the good fortune to be recommended PCSPools as the best qualified firm to mend our dysfunctional electrically operated pool cover.

PCS were prompt, friendly, and very efficient. They worked without interruption while on site, and respected our property at all times. The job turned out to be more complex than they had expected, and three visits were needed. Not their fault.

However the result is perfect. Their work was left tidy and we enjoyed their company. We can recommend them thoroughly.”

“I am very satisfied with the job Gary conducted on my pool cover. He was very knowledgeable and helpful before the job. On the day his team arrived on time, diagnosed the issue/ solution and completed the repair to a good standard. I believe he went above and beyond compared with most contractors and for that I would use him again and highly recommend him for pool cover repairs/ installations.”

“Although we may not have commissioned PCS Pools to instal a pool cover for us, the consultancy advice provided by them in relation to the repair of an existing installation has proved absolutely invaluable. This is a business which clearly knows what it is talking about and goes out of its way to assist.”

“Just a quick note to say thanks very much for fixing our pool cover yesterday.

We really were at our wits end trying to get it to work so was a massive relief that you were able to getting resolved perfectly.

Thanks again.”

“I could not recommend Gary and PCS more highly.  He is very experienced, extremely efficient and works to a very high standard.  He will not accept compromises on quality from suppliers of equipment he procures for you and makes sure that your interests are protected, all at a very reasonable price”

“I’ve worked with Gary since 2009, he was part of the team who designed and implemented our pool at Helsbury Park. He supported me throughout the implementation and has always been a source of sage advice at key moments. As a novice, I found the process of running the pool quite difficult to begin with but Gary was always on hand to offer practical solutions and useful knowledge. He continues to be my ‘go to’ person for any issue relating to all aspects of the pool and never fails to provide level-headed and sensible solutions.”

David Wilson

“Gary came down to Somerset to fix our pool cover. We had had 2 other engineers out previously, neither of which could solve the problem. Gary came up with a long-term solution within a couple of hours and the service was very reasonably priced. Thank you!”

Alex Corbett

“We called Gary as our pool cover was stuck shut.  Not only did he respond promptly and managed to see us very quickly his communication and service was outstanding.  He sorted us out straight away so we were able to have our pool running for the kids birthday parties as planned.  So pleased that after 11 years have finally found a pool guy I can rely on and can recommend to others.  A genuine gem.”

Jo Ellis

“I have had an indoor pool for over 30 years and have experienced many companies including ones claiming to specialise in covers.
Gary and his colleague were a breath of fresh air in their confident and excellent service.
My mind was immediately put at rest and they completed the job in an efficient and timely manner.
I would certainly recommend them and would 100% never use anyone else.
Superb.
Thanks.”

“The customer service from Gary is second to none. After making a call for an emergency repair, he drove across 3 counties  to get to us and had the problem resolved swiftly and professionally.” 

Thank you so much for coming to our pool rescue on a number of occasions.

It all started when I shut the hard pool cover without realising I’d left the swimming wave machine on meaning the water flowed over the top of the cover resulting in the pool cover mechanism breaking.  Our normal pool service company were unable to help as they had never seen this and could not reset the closure mechanism.  So after calling you, your team turned up in an instant and resolved the issue.  Then a month or so later someone borrowing the pool thought they were being helpful and turned the closure mechanism on and then stopped it, started again and somehow that messed it up again.  I tried to get it to work but in spite of the instructions manual, the cover just would not shut fully.  You came to the rescue yet again which was much appreciated.

Then it was the turn of the Fluvo water jet system which broke.  To be fair it had not been serviced in about 15 years and the air bellows (which activate the on/off button) had failed.  Yet you came and worked out the problem at which point I decided to upgrade the system to a more powerful swim jet and again you came to resolve the issue.  When discussing pricing I said it would be cheaper buying off the internet.  Thank God I did not do that as that would have been a disaster as any attempt to fit the new pump would not have worked, particularly as all the instructions were in German!  After your first installation visit it turned out the pump they supplied was faulty and if I had bought that on the internet, I would be stuck up a creek without a paddle!  With your contacts you were able to order a replacement pump and after your return visit today, everything is now working.  The sad bit is that you incurred extra labour costs which you can’t recoup, but as promised you have not passed these on to me which is much appreciated and thus warrants a very big thank you.

You will always be our first port of call when it comes to the pool accessories and we have no hesitation in recommending PCS Pools Ltd to anyone for your kind, efficient, professional, reliable and expedient service.

I hope that you can use this letter/eMail as a method to secure new business.

Thank you again

“When our pool cover went faulty over Christmas, we were initially recommended another company by the cover manufacturer. After a 3 week wait, numerous unanswered telephone calls with no response to voice messages and either very slow or no response  to emails we decided to look for an alternative company. We found PCS online and read the reviews on their website and decided to give them a try. When we called Gary he answered immediately and we discussed the issue and he said he would send us over a quote for attendance to diagnose the fault. We could tell that Gary had the knowledge and experience of the cover that we had installed. The cover manufacturer then recommended that we use PCS as an alternative to the company that they had initially recommended. Within half an hour of the conversation with Gary we had received the quote and we agreed a visit date. Unfortunately the seals on the cover motor had failed and we required a new motor. All of the pros and cons were discussed with Gary and Luke and utilising their wealth of knowledge and experience we decided to replace the 3 year old cover with a new cover from a different manufacturer rather than repairing a cover that quite clearly had underlying issues. The dates were agreed and the cover was installed on those dates. On all the visits that Gary and Luke made they where found to be polite, professional, efficient and always left the pool area spotlessly clean and tidy. At all times during the process if we called or emailed Gary he answered immediately and always had an answer to any question we had. We now have a new working cover and we were very pleased with PCS’s work throughout and would not hesitate in recommending them. Honestly if you use another company you will probably regret it.”

“Fantastic service nice guys as well,  I would highly recommend this honest company & their rates are so fair, what a service. One call to Gary got everything moving, I live in Essex so wasn’t sure what sort of service i would get, even though they came highly recommended to me.

He gave me a price & a date & a time, turned up with a partner, they had my cover mended & working & said right now you don’t need any parts so we will not spend your money, how honest it that?

I was told how much it would cost so said ok whatever it needs done you can do it, expecting a lot of talk about how many new parts I would need, his first comment was if it ain’t broke don’t mend it.

Ken Lewis

“Gary provided a first class service from start to finish, everything was to schedule and as he said it would be and the new cover looks fantastic. Would highly recommend.”

Rob Brown

“We approached Gary to supply us with a spa. Not only did he find exactly what we wanted, he arranged for delivery, installation and the supply of all ancillary requirements. A very competent and professional level of service, top job thank you.”

Mr A. Oxfordshire

“Friendly, trustworthy and extremely competent, we approached Gary to fit our cover, granted it was a much much bigger job than initially quoted. But,  in his stride he got to work and did not disappoint.  I’d recommend Gary to anyone.  Perfect.

Thanks again”

Andrew

“The engineer was extremely helpful with us, very quick to attend our client’s property. He didn’t give up on a very challenging situation, he set up the new motor and controls so the pool cover now works perfectly.”

Julie Robson 

“Excellent service including quick response; operational issues resolved and tested. Highly recommended for pool maintenance.”

Paul Wilkinson Essex 

“PCS came to me recommended and didn’t disappoint, from measuring to install of our pool cover the service was professional, clean and efficient. I would recommend Gary’s team to anyone and won’t hesitate in using his services again.”

Tony, Dartford, Kent

“I have nothing but praise and thanks for PCS Pools Ltd (Gary Mitchell). The service was prompt, honest and efficient. We had an unusual electrical fault in the control box for our slatted cover. Gary Mitchell was careful to investigate all possibilities for the failure and explain everything as he went along.  He installed a new control box within a few days, made it very clear how this differed from the old one and how to calibrate the cover. He also revealed a wealth of knowledge on swimming pools generally. I would recommend him very highly.”

“Thank you for your prompt (and successful) work on our pool cover last week.Thanks also for identifying and obtaining the spare parts required from Belgium to complete the work.

We will have no hesitation in calling for your help in the future.”

Bill Jonson

“Gary has responded to both of my emergency calls quickly and efficiently. His service has always been reliable and professional and without a doubt I would recommend him to everyone!”

Emily  

“We contacted Gary when our pool cover became stuck on the hottest day of the year. Gary was incredibly helpful and responsive. He managed to diagnose the issue over the phone, order the replacement rope and visit the property to fix the issue within days! He was friendly, professional, and carried out the work very efficiently and for a fair price. Our kids are over the moon! Thank you!”
