Search for a Pool Tradie

Only Experienced Tradies know that good customer service starts by joining the Pool Trades Group. 

Opening November 27 2022

Some people try to take advantage of the pool industry and jump in as a trades person when they don't know much about swimming pools at all! They do this because they know there isn't many qualifications involved in order to work with swimming pools and typically they sometimes work as a labourer for a few months and run out on their own thinking they can make some quick money, often causing a lot of damage along the way.

Pool Trades Group has been created to filter out as many inexperienced pool tradesmen as possible.

Our Purpose

Pool Trades Group is dedicated to improving the standard of service provided by tradesmen within the swimming pool and spa industry by recognising their skill set based on their experience within the pool industry for the purposes of providing a better service to consumers, builders and the pool industry in general.

The swimming pool industry has many talented & experienced trades people that have been applying their trades for many years, like in other fields of expertise there is a small number of people that might take a up a job as a labourer and then in as little as a few months begin to claim to be experienced go out on their own in order to get work that should be left to experienced trades people.

When this happens, it can leave many customers in a worse & costly position than had they had contacted trusted professionals from the beginning.

How do you know?

• Look at the quote

Inexperienced tradies may not know what to quote, compare your quotes, do they cover the details? If not, there may be a chance their work is not as detailed as you may need them to be.

• Trust your instinct

Sometimes we get a good vibe with people, if the tradie isn’t confident in their presentation of the scope of work that you are requesting of them then they may not be the right one.

Always remember, the cheapest quote isn’t always the honest quote.

• Check our tradie list

If your tradie is on our list, great! Then you know they have done our experience check prior to joining, if you don’t see your trades person listed, it’s ok, the Pool Trade Group is a growing network, ask them if they have ever applied, ask them to register before starting the job or let them know if you would feel more comfortable if they qualified to be a part of the pool trades group.

• Valid ABN/ACN
• Customer references.
• Supplier references.
